In this paper a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system is presented to automatically detect Cerebral Microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It believed that the presence of CMBs has clinical prognostic value TBI patients. To study contribution patient outcome, accurate detection required. Manual time consuming task prone errors, because are easily overlooked and difficult distinguish from blood vessels. This included 33 Because laborious nature manually annotating...
This was an ambispective clinical quality registry study.
Retrospective cohort.To validate the 11-item modified Frailty Index (mFI) as a perioperative risk stratification tool in elderly patients undergoing spine surgery.All consecutive cases of surgery aged 65 years or older between July 2016 and June 2018 at state-wide trauma center were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was post-operative major complication rate (Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ III). Secondary measures included all complications, 6-month mortality surgical site...
Systematic review.Spinal orthoses have been generally used in the management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures elderly population with purported positive biomechanical and functional effects. To our knowledge, this is first systematic review literature examining role spinal patients who sustain low energy trauma fractures.A adherent to Preferred Reporting Items for Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted. Methodical searches utilizing MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar,...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Objectives To validate the most concise risk stratification system to date, 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5), and compare its effectiveness with established 11-item (mFI-11) in elderly population undergoing posterior instrumented spine surgery. Methods A single centre retrospective review of surgeries patients aged 65 years older was conducted. The primary outcome rate post-operative major complications (Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ 4). Secondary...
The wide-spread use of an initial 'Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 8 or less' to define and dichotomise 'severe' from 'mild' 'moderate' traumatic brain injury (TBI) is out-dated research heuristic that has become epidemiological convenience transfixing clinical care. Triaging based on GCS can delay the care patients who have rapidly evolving injuries. Sole reliance therefore provide a false sense security caregivers fail timely for presenting with greater than 8. Nearly 50 years after development -...
Objectives To evaluate the feasibility, safety, clinical, and radiologic outcomes of a minimally invasive direct lateral-approach corpectomy (MIDLaC) for decompression stabilization symptomatic metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC). Methods A retrospective study on prospective cohort was conducted. Nineteen patients were consecutively treated with MIDLaC posterior pedicle screw fixation between May 2012 July 2014. Demographic information including sagittal deformity correction vertebral...
Abstract Background Patient-reported outcome (PRO) data evaluating the physical and psychosocial impact of cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) treatment are limited. Objectives The aim this study was to assess, by means PRO instruments, multidimensional aspects satisfaction following flanks abdomen. Methods This a multinational, prospective, single-cohort, interventional study. primary endpoint proportion participants stating they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with at 12 weeks post final...
AO Type B3 hyperextension thoracolumbar fractures are the commonest fracture subtype in ankylosing spinal disorders. Although often considered together fractures, spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) distinct spondyloarthropathies with different pathophysiology. Few studies have compared two entities setting of traumatic fractures. The authors compare demographic metrics, injury profile, clinical radiographical outcomes between patients AS DISH suffering from...
The authors report the first case of vasogenic cerebral edema due to a cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction nickel-containing aneurysm clip. patient initially presented for elective clipping right middle artery aneurysm, and on long-term follow-up she demonstrated relapsing-remitting edema. Four years post-aneurysm clipping, underwent an exploratory craniotomy given unsuccessful conservative management her headaches imaging evidence with mass effect. During surgery, gross parenchymal...
PURPOSE: We present two cases of diffuse cavernous hemangioma the rectum that invaded pelvic structures. METHODS: Two young women suffering from intermittent rectal bleeding were studied using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Beside hemangioma, imaging revealed ureter iliac vessels each eroded by tumor produced symptoms in these patients. CONCLUSION: Computed permit direct visualization for staging also recognition any structure invasion, which facilitate...
