(1) To examine the variability in diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) primary care relative to that an expert reviewer; and (2) determine incidence rate mTBI Ontario, Canada.Potential cases were identified through reviewing three months Emergency Department (ED) Family Physician (FP) health records. Potential selected from ED records using International Classification Disease, 9th revision, Clinical Modification External Cause codes all FPs for time period. Documented diagnoses...
Study Design A retrospective cohort utilizing the PearlDiver Patient Claims Database. Objective Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) is accepted treatment for cervical radiculopathy; however, it may also be safe and effective in myelopathy. Thus, we compared clinical characteristics outcomes patients undergoing CDA anterior discectomy fusion (ACDF) degenerative myelopathy (DCM) specifically. Methods Patients or ACDF between 2015-2019 were identified with follow-up through 2021. Univariate...
Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the postoperative outcomes following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) transplant recipients, using data from a large national database. Three patient groups were analyzed: control group, ESRD group. Objective: To ACDF utilizing Background: Patients recipients face unique health challenges, there is paucity of comprehensive research examining their...
Study Design: This was a prospective, randomized control pilot study. Objective: The aim of this study to determine whether continuous monitoring and adjustment the endotracheal tube cuff pressure (ETTCP) 15 mm Hg during ACSS would alter incidence postoperative dysphagia. Summary Background Data: Postoperative dysphagia is recognized potential complication anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS). Recent findings on preventive measures suggest that certain intraoperative practices may minimize...
Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is a widely used practice in spine surgery for early detection and minimization of neurological injury. IONM most commonly conducted by indirectly recording motor somatosensory evoked potentials from either muscles or the scalp, which requires large-amplitude electrical stimulation provides limited spatiotemporal information. may inform inadvertent events during neurosurgery after they occur, but it does not guide safe surgical procedures when anatomy...
Study Design. Retrospective study. Summary of Background Data. Research has shown that the use NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors increases risk pseudoarthrosis following spinal fusion surgery. Pseudoarthrosis can lead to complications such as chronic pain need for additional surgeries. Objective. The purpose this study was examine relationship between NSAID inhibitor pseudarthrosis, hardware complications, revision surgeries in patients undergoing posterior instrumentation fusion. Methods. We...
Abstract Objectives: To describe the tumor characteristics and visual function in conservatively managed patients with non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma (NFMA) that contacted/compressed pathway. Design: Retrospective case-series. Setting: Tertiary-care academic institution. Participants: Six diagnosis of NFMA. Main Outcome: Visual radiological optic apparatus tumor. Results: All had evidence compression but only one field defect at initial presentation. While two six developed changes...
Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) is an accepted motion-sparing technique associated with favorable patient outcomes. However, heterotopic ossification (HO) and adjacent-segment degeneration are poorly understood adverse events that can be observed after CDA. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively examine 1) the effect residual exposed endplate (REE) on HO, 2) identify risk factors predicting radiographic disease (rASD) in a consecutive cohort CDA patients.
Abstract BACKGROUND Although advances in implant materials, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), have been developed aimed to improve outcome after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), it is essential confirm whether these changes translate into clinically important sustained benefits. OBJECTIVE To compare the radiographic clinical outcomes of patients undergoing up 3-level ACDF with PEEK vs structural allograft implants. METHODS In this cohort study, symptomatic nonunion rates...
Objective: To investigate the use of computed tomography (CT) scans in patients with suspected acute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) presenting to emergency departments. Method: 850 potential mTBI cases were identified through reviews three months health records from nine selected departments across province Ontario. Records for review using International Classification Disease, 9th revision, Clinical Modification codes and Injury codes. Results: Patients who received head CT...
Given mounting pressure of work hour restrictions, resource constraints, and variability clinical exposure, Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) residency training has shifted away from the apprenticeship model to embrace Royal College Physicians Surgeons Canada's "Competence by Design" initiative. As a result, appraising both current potential educational adjuncts become increasingly important. In this investigation, national needs assessment survey was performed identify strengths,...
Compression induced by a pituitary tumor on the optic chiasm can generate visual field deficits, yet it is unknown how this compression affects retinotopic organization of cortex. It also not known effect cortex changes after decompression. The authors used functional MRI (fMRI) to map in 68-year-old right-handed woman before and 3 months surgery for recurrent macroadenoma. demonstrated that longitudinal perimetry, as assessed automated Humphrey test, correlated with fMRI activation manner....
