In the emerging field of robot-assisted spine surgery, radiographic evaluation pedicle screw accuracy in clinical application is an area high interest. This study describes first 56 consecutive cases which navigated robotic assistance was used a private practice setting. A retrospective, Institutional Review Board-exempt review surgery performed. Pedicle malposition, reposition, and return to operating room (OR) rates were collected. CT-based Gertzbein Robbins system (GRS) classify accuracy....
Robotic assistance with integrated navigation is an area of high interest for improving the accuracy minimally invasive pedicle screw placement. This study analyzes placement between attending spine surgeon and a resident by comparing left right sides first 101 consecutive cases using navigated robotic in private practice clinical setting. A retrospective, Institutional Review Board-exempt review 106 robot-assisted surgery was performed. One one performed consistently on either or side...
In the emerging field of robot-assisted spine surgery, radiographic evaluation pedicle screw accuracy in surgical setting is high interest. Advances medical imaging have improved placement, from fluoroscopy-guided to computer-aided navigation.A retrospective, institutional review board-exempt first 106 navigated surgery cases was performed. Radiographic preoperative and postoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans were collected.In cases, 630 lumbosacral screws placed. Thirty placed five...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe disability, and the current inability to restore function damaged spinal leads lasting detrimental consequences patients. One strategy reduce SCI morbidity involves limiting spread of secondary damage after injury. Previous studies have shown that connexin 43 (Cx43), a gap junction protein richly expressed in astrocytes, is potential mediator damage. Here, we developed specific inhibitory antibody, mouse-human chimeric MHC1 antibody (MHC1), inhibited...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is typically associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Recent studies, however, have suggested that hypercapnia chronic intermittent hypoxia may potentially provide protection against ischemic events like stroke.To evaluate the impact OSA presentation, hospital course, treatment outcomes patients subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).Data for SAH between years 2011 2015 were extracted from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)...
There have been only a few large series that used tailored temporal lobectomy.To clarify whether tailoring lobe resection will lead to equivalent epilepsy outcomes or the same predictive factors for success when compared with standard resections.Retrospective analysis of 222 patients undergoing resection. Demographic measures and typical influencing outcome were evaluated.Pathology included cases. With mean follow-up 5.4 years, 70% achieved Engel class I outcome. A significant factor...
Intracranial epidermoids can closely mimic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on MRI and CT. Therefore be difficult to detect, or distinguish from CSF. Three cases of intracranial epidermoid are presented, one which mimicked an arachnoid cyst CT routine sequences. Diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) was performed. All three demonstrated marked restriction diffusion relative CSF, clearly defining the extent each lesion, allowing differentiation enlarged CSF space.
