The presence of somatotopic organization in the human supplementary motor area (SMA) remains a controversial issue. In this study, subdural electrode grids were placed on medial surface cerebral hemispheres 13 patients with intractable epilepsy undergoing evaluation for surgical treatment. Electrical stimulation mapping currents below threshold afterdischarges showed cortex lower extremities represented posteriorly, head and face most anteriorly, upper between these two regions. often...
Retrospective cohort study.The aim of this study was to determine the differences in 30-day readmission, reoperation, and morbidity for patients undergoing multilevel anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) or single corpectomy (ACCF).Despite increasing rates surgical treatment spine disease, few studies have compared outcomes by technique. To best our knowledge, is only large-scale administrative database that directly evaluates early between ACDF ACCF.Patients who underwent ACCF were...
A retrospective Cohort Study. The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between posterior muscle health characteristics and disk geometry parameters L1 S1. Paralumbar changes have been associated with clinical outcomes. However, relationship paralumbar has not defined. Axial T2 MRI was analyzed for measurements, lateral radiographs were in patients degeneration. Associations shape at each individual lumbar level evaluated using a partial correlation controlling age sex....
A retrospective cohort study.The aim of this study was to determine the difference in 30-day readmission, reoperation, and morbidity for patients undergoing either posterior or anterior lumbar interbody fusion.Despite increasing utilization fusion treat spinal pathology, few studies compare outcomes by surgical approach, particularly using large nationally represented cohorts.Patients who underwent were identified NSQIP database. Rates morbidity, associated predictors compared between...
Study Design: Retrospective review of prospective data. Objective: The objective this study was to describe the clinical, radiographic, and complication-related outcomes through ≥1-year 27 patients who underwent lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with posterior instrumentation treat ≥3 contiguous levels degenerative scoliosis. Summary Background Data: Multilevel disease has traditionally been treated open fusion. Literature on multilevel LLIF is limited. We present our experience...
Twenty-four patients with myotonic dystrophy underwent computed tomographic examination of the skull and brain. The results were compared those 20 normal subjects similar age sex distribution. Microcephaly thickening calvarium frequently observed. Some cases showed basal ganglia calcification. Our findings confirm that cranial hyperostosis brain pathology is a common manifestation this systemic disease.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has altered the standard of care for spine surgery in many ways. However, there is a lack literature evaluating potential changes surgical outcomes and perioperative factors procedures performed during pandemic. In particular, no large database study impact COVID-19 on yet been published. Therefore, aim this was to evaluate postoperative lumbar fusion procedures.This retrospective cohort utilized American College Surgeons National Surgical...
A retrospective cohort study.To compare 30-day readmission, reoperation, and morbidity for patients undergoing posterior cervical decompression fusion (PCDF) in inpatient vs. outpatient settings.PCDF has recently been increasingly performed settings, often utilizing minimally invasive techniques. However, literature evaluating short-term outcomes PCDF is scarce. Moreover, no currently large-scale database studies have compared between the settings.Patients who underwent from 2005 to 2018...
Retrospective cohort study.To compare the incidence of complications in patients undergoing single-level and 2-level lumbar laminectomy either inpatient or outpatient settings.Patients who underwent were identified ACS NSQIP database from years 2006 to 2015. Independent patient variables recorded, including demographics preoperative health characteristics. Logistic regression was used determine risk postoperative for both a 1- as well identify independent factors complication. Comparisons...
Background: Mortality rates following emergency spine fracture surgery are high, especially in the elderly. However, how postoperative mortality rate fractures compares to other geriatric such as hip remains unclear. Therefore, this retrospective cohort study aimed compare 30-day and risk factors between versus Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was queried 2011 2021 for Univariate analyses evaluated demographic data, perioperative factors,...
Platelet concentrates were prepared by plateletpheresis using discontinuous flow centrifugation. units stored in PL-146 bags of 300 ml and 2,000 capacity, vitro measures helpful predicting platelet viability compared. Storage capacity led to significant fall pH, decreased recovery from osmotic stress, deterioration morphology 24 hours. lesions significantly use bags.
Retrospective cohort study.The aim was to compare 30-day readmission and postdischarge morbidity for posterior cervical decompression fusion (PCDF) in patients who were discharged home versus rehabilitation.An increasing number of are being postacute inpatient care facilities following spine surgery. However, little research has been performed evaluate the effect this trend on short-term outcomes.Patients underwent PCDF from 2011 2018 identified using National Surgical Quality Improvements...
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: The objective of this study to compare 30-day postdischarge morbidity for 3-or-more level (multilevel) posterior lumbar fusion in patients who were discharged home versus rehabilitation. Summary Background Data: Spine surgery has been increasingly performed the elderly population, with many these being rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities. However, research evaluating safety nonhome discharge following spine is limited....
Retrospective cohort study.
Retrospective cohort study.To compare the relative value units (RVUs) per minute of operative time between primary and revision surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD).Surgery ASD is technically demanding has high risks complications rates. This common need additional can increase overall cost care ASD. RVU used to calculate reimbursement from Medicare determine physician payments nationally. In calculating RVUs, physician's work, expenses practice, professional liability insurance. Cost...
