Aneurysms located on the distal portion of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) are uncommon, and their underlying pathology, natural history, clinical management poorly understood. To clarify these lesions more fully, authors undertook a retrospective analysis features results 22 PICA aneurysms in 20 consecutive patients treated at one institution by same surgeon during past decade.The series included 10 men women (mean age presentation 51 years). Nine presented with only...

Following traumatic brain injury (TBI), the cytoskeletal protein α-II-spectrin is proteolyzed by calpain and caspase-3 to signature breakdown products. To determine whether α -II-spectrin proteolysis a potentially reliable biomarker for TBI in humans, present study (1) examined levels of spectrin products (SBDPs) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from adults with severe (2) relationship between these levels, severity injury, clinical outcome. This prospective case control enrolled 41 patients TBI,...

Genetic risk factors for intracranial aneurysm (IA) are not yet fully understood. Genomewide association studies have been successful at identifying common variants; however, the role of rare variation in IA susceptibility has explored. In this study, we report use whole exome sequencing (WES) seven densely-affected families (45 individuals) recruited as part Familial Intracranial Aneurysm study. WES variants were prioritized by functional prediction, frequency, predicted pathogenicity, and...

Ecological “big data” Human activities are rapidly altering the natural world. Nowhere is this more evident, perhaps, than in Arctic, yet region remains one of most remote and difficult to study. Researchers have increasingly relied on animal tracking data these regions understand individual species' responses, but if we want larger-scale change, need integrate our understanding across species. Davidson et al. introduce an open-source archive that currently hosts 15 million location points...

We studied associated with in a study model patients multiple aneurysms, one aneurysm that had ruptured and or more not, which each patient served as their own internal control. METHODS collected location, one-dimensional measurements, two-dimensional indices from computed tomographic angiograms proposed compared versus unruptured aneurysms....

OBJECTIVE There are few studies comparing the economic costs and reimbursements for aneurysm clipping versus coiling, none from United States. Our hypothesis predicted that coiling would result in shorter lengths of hospitalization than patients with unruptured aneurysms therefore lower hospital charges. However, because severity subarachnoid hemorrhage, there be no difference length or charges ruptured aneurysms. METHODS We compared treated at University Florida January 2005 to June 2007...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) produces αII-spectrin breakdown products (SBDPs) that are potential biomarkers for TBI. To further understand these biomarkers, the present study examined (1) exposure and kinetic characteristics of SBDPs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) adults with severe TBI, (2) relationship between metrics severity injury. This clinical database analyzed CSF concentrations 150-, 145-, 120-kDa 38 TBI patients. Area under curve (AUC), mean residence time (MRT), maximum...

BACKGROUND: External ventricular drainage (EVD) catheters provide reliable and accurate means of monitoring intracranial pressure alleviating elevated pressures via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF infections occur in approximately 9% patients. Antibiotic-impregnated (AI) EVD were developed with the goal reducing occurrence catheter-related their associated complications. OBJECTIVE: To present an international, prospective, randomized, open-label trial to evaluate infection incidence AI vs...

Abstract By using two different approaches, ubiquitin C‐terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) was identified as a potential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker of neuronal loss in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) and presumably other CNS damage disease states. Appropriate antibodies sensitive ELISA were generated, the release UCHL1 into CSF compared with that pNF‐H S100β cohort 30 ASAH patients. Both showed persistent almost all patients second week postaneurysmal rupture (AR), levels...

Glucagon activates hepatic adenylate cyclase, thereby increasing acutely the liver content of cyclic AMP (cAMP) as well release cAMP into vein. Insulin, on other hand, antagonizes this glucagon-mediated production, thus providing a hypothetical mechanism through which insulin might correct some metabolic abnormalities diabetes. To study hormonal interaction in man, net splanchnic production (NScAMPP) was investigated normal and insulin-dependent diabetic men under basal conditions response...

Patient demographic data including development vasospasm outcome scores at 6 months after rupture (AR) evaluated. Higher pNF-H blood levels in first few days AR strongly predictive negative outcome. most recovering showed steady increase into second week AR,...

Glucagon and/or the catecholamines elevate tissue cyclic adenylate (cAMP) and thereby change activity of a number metabolic processes, as studied in isolated perfused rat liver. Insulin can lower cAMP liver opposes these changes. In liver, basal state, there appears to be substantial quantity which is compartmentalized, unaffected by insulin physiologically inactive.

Use of genetic marks to identify individuals and generate population estimates using mark-recapture methodologies has become increasingly common. Recently, brown bear (Ursus arctos) have been made DNA isolated from hair follicles as the mark, obtaining with a barbed-wire enclosure around scent lure.
