INTRODUCTION: Cognitive testing for sports-related concussions (SRC) has become a critical component in ensuring the health of adolescent athletes. Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Testing (ImPACT) is validated tool assessing SRC guiding subsequent medical management. The effect different variables on ImPACT score therefore clinical relevance, however influence gender sleep quantity performance remain understudied. METHODS: A database containing assessments from 11,563 high school...
Although established marketing techniques have been applied to design more effective health campaigns, often than not, the same message is broadcasted large populations, irrespective of unique characteristics. As individual digital device use has increased, so footprints, creating potential opportunities for targeted interventions. We propose a novel precision public campaign framework structure and standardize process designing delivering tailored messages target particular population...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of infant morbidity and mortality a potential target for maternal immunization strategies. However, data on the role RSV in young deaths developing countries are limited.
Influenza causes significant mortality and morbidity in the United States (US). Employees are exposed to influenza at work can spread it others. The vaccine is safe, effective, prevents severe outcomes; however, coverage among US adults (50.2%) below Healthy People 2030 target of 70%. These highlights need for more effective vaccination promotion interventions. Understanding predictors acceptance could inform messages, improve coverage, reduce illness-related absences. We aimed identify...
To evaluate the prevalence of strabismus in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) by comparing children with normal neuroimaging to those optic pathway glioma.A retrospective data collection all NF-1 studies examined at a single medical center between 2000 and 2016.Of 198 reviewed, 109 (55%) were male, 121 (61%) had neuroimaging, 77 (39%) an glioma. Mean age presentation was 6.3 ± 4.7 years mean follow-up 4.8 3.1 years. Strabismus present 29 (15%) significantly more prevalent glioma (21 [27%])...
Pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by increased pressure despite normal cerebrospinal fluid and neuroimaging findings. Initial management typically medical; however, nearly 10% of children will eventually require surgery for persistent headache and/or vision loss. External lumbar drainage, which a considerably safer treatment option, has not been adequately analyzed in with medically refractory IIH.
Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is a typically transient condition resulting from damage to the medial premotor cortex. The exact mechanism of recovery remains unknown but traditionally described as process involving functional compensation by contralateral SMA through corpus callosal fibers. purpose this case study highlight distinct extracallosal an in patient with agenesis callosum (ACC). We present clinical presentation and perioperative neuroimaging features 16-year-old complete...
BACKGROUND Hyperactive cranial neuropathies refractory to medical management can often be debilitating patients. While microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery provide relief such patients when an aberrant vessel is compressing the root entry zone (REZ) of nerve, arteries elderly over 65 years age less amenable manipulation because calcifications and other morphological changes. A dolichoectatic vertebral artery (DVA), in fact, lead multiple neuropathies; therefore, a strategy for MVDs...
Evaluate the influence of sleep duration and concussion history on postconcussion symptoms in adolescent athletes.
Abstract Background Meningiomas frequently recur after surgery. Existing guidelines for postoperative surveillance are based on customary practices or limited data. This may result in excessive inadequate surveillance. Methods We compared 8 studies involving 1519 resected meningiomas with follow-up ranging from 7 to 23 years. were stratified using the World Health Organization and Simpson grading systems, progression-free survival data compared. Recurrence patterns validated 2 additional...
To analyze postoperative instructions provided to patients and families after strabismus surgery.In April 2012, a 12-question electronic survey was sent all members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology Strabismus (AAPOS) regarding their undergoing surgery. The questions specifically addressed patients’ daily activities, such as resumption school work, sports, swimming, normal showering bathing, contact lens use.One hundred two responses were completed; 96% from pediatric...
Introduction: While the relationship between frailty and 30-day postoperative outcomes in meningioma patients has been explored, association of with longitudinal tumor characteristics remains poorly understood.
Introduction: While socioeconomic factors for racial disparities among sporadic meningioma patients have been explored, other potential influences are poorly understood. Indeed, a Hispanic paradox has described in medicine such that despite similar constraints as minorities, tend to better outcomes compared with Black patients. Thus, an understanding of biological differences different races and ethnicities could be valuable.
