Abstract Most applications of nanotechnology in cancer have focused on systemic delivery cytotoxic drugs. Systemic relies accumulation nanoparticles a target tissue through enhanced permeability leaky vasculature and retention effect poor lymphatic drainage to increase the therapeutic index. is limited, however, by toxicity difficulty crossing natural obstructions, like blood spine barrier. Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) new technique reach tumors central nervous system. Here, we describe...
Autologous bone removed during craniectomy is often the material of choice in cranioplasty procedures. However, when patient's own not appropriate (infection and resorption), an alloplastic graft must be utilized. Common options include titanium mesh polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-based custom flaps. Often, neurosurgeons decide whether to use a or implant, with limited direction from literature.To compare surgical outcomes synthetic cranioplasties performed vs implants.Ten-year retrospective...
Patients on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support may be susceptible to severe disease and complications from coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). The purpose of this study was describe the clinical course COVID-19 in LVAD patients. A retrospective review performed at our center; 28 patients who developed between March 2020 2021, six with a prior infection underwent implantation, were identified examined. Of patients, nine (32%) died during period, five (18%) their index...
Background: Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) account for 8–10% of all and affect patients ages. Although uncommon, IMSCTs carry risk neurological morbidity mortality, with 5-year survival rates ranging from 50% to 80%. In this study, we utilize the American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database determine effect steroid administration on 30-day outcomes following surgery IMSCTs. Methods: ACS-NSQIP data undergoing intramedullary 2005 2015...
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by metastatic malignancies or osteoporosis are devastating injuries with debilitating outcomes for patients. Minimally invasive kyphoplasty is a common procedure used symptomatic amelioration. However, it fails in treating the underlying etiologies of VCFs. Use systemic therapy limited due to low perfusion spinal column and toxicity. Localized delivery drugs vertebral can provide promising alternative approach. A porcine model was developed study...
Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rare, opportunistic pathogen most frequently contracted through contact with contaminated source. An immunocompetent 26-year-old female patient presented to our institution an infected lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt presenting as continued nonhealing wounds. After multiple debridements, revisions, and wound closure failures, infectious disease specialists were consulted. The cultures returned positive for M. the was removed. Cerebrospinal fluid studies revealed...
Background: The influence of home-to-transplantation center travel time as a potential barrier to healthcare accessibility and its impact on clinical outcomes has not been examined following heart transplantation. Hypothesis: Prolonged the transplantation leads worse access healthcare. Aims: Study an exposure variable in Organ Procurement Transplantation Network database. Methods: This is observational study adult transplant recipients who received graft between 2012-2022 United States....
