Traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced impairments in cerebral energy metabolism impede tissue repair and contribute to delayed functional recovery. Moreover, the transient alteration glucose utilization corresponds a period of increased vulnerability negative effects subsequent TBI. In order better understand factors contributing TBI-induced central metabolic dysfunction, we examined effect single repeated TBIs on insulin signalling. Here show that TBI induced acute resistance, which resolved...
OBJECTIVE Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant public health concern and source of resource utilization. The aim this study was to establish the ability previously published pediatric Brain Injury Guidelines (pBIG) identify patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) who might not require routine repeat neuroimaging, neurosurgical consultation, or hospital admission in large level I II trauma cohort. METHODS presented ICH between 2018 2022 at included institutions...
Adoptive immunotherapy with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells has been effective in treating some advanced malignancies animals humans. One complication of this treatment is a reversible, oliguric, acute renal failure, which ascribed to hypoperfusion resultant prerenal azotemia. We serially studied function 10 patients receiving high-dose regimens recombinant (rIL-2) attempt delineate further the nature dysfunction caused by IL-2 treatment. Renal plasma flow...
BACKGROUND Isolated cerebral mucormycosis is rare in immunocompetent adults and only sparsely reported to be associated with obstructive hydrocephalus. OBSERVATIONS Here, the authors report a case of hydrocephalus secondary central nervous system without other systems or rhino-orbital involvement its technical surgical management. A 23-year-old, incarcerated, patient history intravenous (IV) drug use presented syncope. Although clinical radiographic findings failed elucidate an infectious...
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy has been established as one of the most effective strategies in risk reduction for ovarian and breast cancers among women at increased genetic risk. However, there are limited data regarding single-port laparoscopic platform field risk-reducing surgery. Our objective was to describe outcomes after with or without hysterectomy ovarian, breast, endometrial cancer risk.A retrospective, single institution (Canadian Task Force Classification II.2) analysis...
Many critics of the legalization physician-assisted death oppose it in part because they fear will further disadvantage those who are already economically disadvantaged. This argument points to a serious problem how economic considerations can influence medical decisions, but context PAD, concern is not borne out. We provide empirical evidence suggesting that concerns about money decisions throughout full course illness, at end life, financial pressure much more likely decision pursue or...
Investigate the relationship between word recognition score (WRS) and pure tone average (PTA) after hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannomas (VS) as well evaluate consistency of classification systems.
OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to determine the frequency and nature complications that occur during intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy, including nonsurgical as well associated with both implantation surgeries subsequent revisions. METHODS authors retrospectively reviewed medical records all patients who had pumps implanted at a tertiary children’s hospital from 2006 through June 2019. employed appropriate descriptive statistics statistical models analyze patient...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Lesioning procedures are effective for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), but late pain recurrence associated with sensory recovery is common. We report a case of type 1A TN and facial function after rhizotomy collateral sprouting from upper cervical spinal nerves. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 41-yr-old woman presented 2 yr open left pain-free anesthesia in the entire nerve distribution. Over 18 mo, she developed gradual sensation migrating anteromedially occipital...
Neurocysticercosis is the leading cause of epilepsy worldwide. It occasionally requires neurosurgical intervention, but intraoperative localization can be challenging. Sodium fluorescein has yet to explored in many non-neoplastic processes. A patient with medically refractory was found have a right temporal lesion consistent neurocysticercosis. Seizure foci were localized ipsilateral hippocampus, prompting RNS implantation and resection. The cysticercal avidly fluoresced after administration...
