The use of robotics in spinal surgery holds tremendous potential with continued growth since 1985. To date, there are numerous devices approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for operations. Robotic enables improved patient outcomes comparison to conventional methods. These robots can have superior spatial resolution, geometric accuracy, faster implant placement. initial design process various stages development discussed, along a historical synopsis. A review most commonly used...
The role of peripheral mu-opioid receptors (MOPs) in chronic pain conditions is not well understood. Here, we used a combination mouse genetics, behavioral assays, and pharmacologic interventions to investigate the contribution primary afferent MOPs nociceptive, inflammatory, neuropathic pain, as opioid analgesia.We generated conditional knockout mice which were selectively deleted sensory neurons. Inflammatory states induced mutant control wild-type their responses noxious stimuli compared....
Political engagement by the physician workforce is necessary to ensure continued representation of their interests in health care legislation. Limited data are available pertaining political involvement US surgeons.To analyze magnitude and distribution donations made all surgeons throughout 2020 election cycle.Partisan geographical differences surgeon contributions aggregating (January 1 through December 31, 2020) from Federal Election Commission database were analyzed. Contributions labeled...
Medical students often consult residency program reputation rankings whilst creating rank lists. Accurate assessment of a remains cumbersome task, primarily due to varying degrees interpretation and bias. The Doximity Residency Navigator (DRN) is tool used assist medical in making informed decisions simultaneously increasing transparency the match process. DRN comprised data that applicants research prospective training programs, including across specialties, resident alumni satisfaction...
Aim: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is used to clinically manage and/or treat several chronic pain etiologies. A limited amount known about the influence on patients' use of opioid medication. This retrospective analysis evaluated SCS effect consumption in patients presenting with conditions. Materials & methods: Sixty-seven underwent a temporary trial device, permanent implant or both. Patients were divided for assessment based nature their procedure(s). Primary outcome was change morphine...
We present a case series of two patients who developed unilateral cranial nerve III (CNIII) palsy following non-aneurysmal SAH (NASAH). Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can with various signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis is paramount to determine treatment course. Thus, clinicians must be aware the variable clinical presentations this condition. Two were admitted single institution for SAH. Patient 1, 52-year-old male, presented headache, left eye ptosis, painless diplopia. A non-contrast head...
INTRODUCTION: Social determinants of health (SDH), which influence care access, patient outcomes, and population-level burden disease, contribute to disparities experienced by marginalized populations. METHODS: Embase, Ovid-MEDLINE, Scopus, Web Science, Cochrane Library, ProQuest Dissertations databases were queried for original research on regarding access to, outcomes of, or postoperative-management following neurosurgical procedures in the U.S. with at least one neurosurgical-affiliated...
Abstract Several different reporting biases cited in scientific literature have raised concerns about the overestimation of effects and subsequent potential impact on practice evidence-based medicine human health. Up to 7% 8% population experiences neuropathic pain (NP), established treatment guidelines are based predominantly published clinical trial results. Therefore, we examined randomized controlled trials (RCTs) first-line drugs for NP assessed relative proportions with statistically...
INTRODUCTION: Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) most commonly presents in the elderly with symptoms such as gait dysfunction, urinary incontinence, altered mentation. In current literature three categories of NPH are considered: idiopathic (iNPH), secondary (sNPH), and neurodegenerative (nNPH). Due to variability causative pathology, patients each category may respond differently ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement over long term. METHODS: An IRB approved retrospective review was...
INTRODUCTION: National Resident Matching Program releases a detailed report of residency match statistics for each specialty. Securing training position in United States neurological surgery program is notoriously competitive, and the subspecialty has long maintained rate much lower than other specialties. There remains paucity recently studied longitudinal trends academic extracurricular characteristics successfully matched applicants. METHODS: Residency applicant self-reported data,...
Background and Purpose: The role of peripheral mu-opioid receptors (MOPs) in chronic pain conditions is not well understood. Here, we used a combination mouse genetics, behavioral assays, pharmacological interventions to investigate the contribution MOPs on primary afferent neurons nociceptive, inflammatory, neuropathic as opioid analgesia. Experimental Approach: We generated conditional knockout mice which were selectively deleted sensory neurons. Inflammatory states induced mutant control...
