Neurological disorders are now the leading source of disability globally, and ageing is increasing burden neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease. We aimed to determine global disease between 1990 2016 identify trends enable appropriate public health, medical, scientific responses.Through a systematic analysis epidemiological studies, we estimated global, regional, country-specific prevalence years life lived with for from 2016. proportion mild, moderate, severe on basis...
Seizures and their consequences contribute to the burden of epilepsy because they can cause health loss (premature mortality residual disability). Data on are needed for health-care planning resource allocation. The aim this study was quantify due by age, sex, year, location using data from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study.We assessed in 195 countries territories 1990 2016. measured as deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs; a summary measure defined...
Brain and CNS cancers (collectively referred to as cancers) are a source of mortality morbidity for which diagnosis treatment require extensive resource allocation sophisticated diagnostic therapeutic technology. Previous epidemiological studies limited specific geographical regions or time periods, making them difficult compare on global scale. In this analysis, we aimed provide comparable comprehensive estimation the burden brain cancer between 1990 2016.We report means 95% uncertainty...
A chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgery operations. This study aimed to evaluate effect topical corticosteroids combined with surgery in patients CSDH. The present a clinical trial on referred hospitals associated Ahvaz University Medical Sciences 2019. Patients requiring surgical drainage who met inclusion criteria underwent open craniotomy side hematoma. drain was placed site. On third day after operation, before removing drain, 40 mg methylprednisolone...
Background: The asterion is located at the posterior lateral side of skull junction parietal, temporal and occipital bones.Methods: We examined morphology asterion, its association with deep vein elements, mastoid apex inion in 105 adult cadavas (210 hemicraniums) including 146 males 64 females anatomy lab Legal Medicine Organization.Results: Two types were observed. Type I was found 14.7%, type II 85.3% cases. In 70% cases, or above venous sinus. distance between appendage on right 47.03 mm...
AIM:To determine the effect of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) on traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. MATERIAL and METHODS:A total 94 cases TBI with hemorrhage, admitted to emergency department who did not need surgical intervention based a primary brain spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, were randomly assigned into two groups 47 patients.In group, intravenous TXA was administered as one gram bolus every 6 hours for 48 hours, in control placebo same way.After 6, 24, all underwent CT...
Abstract Introduction Spinal hydatidosis, a zoonotic disease caused by infection with Echinococcus spp. larvae, is rare, but its treatment remains significant medical challenge. Approximately 70% of patients spinal hydatidosis have lesions in their liver, 0–15% lung involvement, and only 0.5–2% bone involvement. Case presentation Here we report 38-year-old Iranian man who had history eight times surgery over 26 years due to hydatid cyst the lungs, chest wall. At most recent admission...
Patients with extensive left hemisphere damage frequently have ideational apraxia (IA) and transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA). Difficulty action coordination, phonological processing, complex motor planning may not be indicative of higher-order programming or formation. We report on the effects IA TSA visual skill stroke patients.The study aims to address question whether in bilingual individuals are results an error function alone due a combined plus cognitive dysfunction effect.Twelve...
Background and Aim: Craniotomy is a surgery in which flap of the skull opened to access affected area brain. Since paying attention aesthetic aspects patient’s head after very important for mental health social life, surgeons should try adopt method that minimizes damage scalp follicles. Methods Materials/Patients: In this clinical trial study, patients who were candidates frontotemporoparietal craniotomy selected. Twenty-three selected randomly divided into 2 groups consisting 12-member...
Postoperative inflammation and infections are common complications of spinal surgery have similar symptoms. However, postoperative infection may lead to a poor outcome must be differentiated from inflammation. The objective this study is determine the changing pattern ESR WBC counts, investigate effects different variables.A total 61 patients who underwent were enrolled in prospective study. erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) white blood cell (WBC) counts measured day before on 1st, 3rd,...
Abstract Cerebral abscess is an extremely rare complication of pregnancy. Among reported cases pregnancy brain abscess, most patients have shown a good neurologic outcome. Herein, we present 25-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks' gestation with acute loss consciousness and sudden herniation. The patient underwent emergency craniotomy was evacuated, but she died after surgery. Rapid deterioration fatal herniation were unique among other reports sinogenic during
Chiari III malformation, one of the rare variants malformations, is including a small dysplastic posterior fossa, hydrocephalus, medullary abnormalities, and hindbrain herniation into low occipital/high cervical encephalocele.This type can be lethal if not treated related to severe neurological deficits, so surgical care should immediately undertaken.We are presenting 1.5-month-old male infant with malformation that was managed surgically good outcome in addition, review radiological,...
Background Spinal dysraphism is characterized by failure of fusion at dorsal midline structures through the embryonic developmental stages. A terminal myelocystocele consists a skin-covered lumbosacral spina bifida and meningocele that directly continuous with spinal subarachnoid space.Observation 43-year-old woman who was diagnosed birth in lower segments lumbar spine. She not operated early stages life. At 43th years her old, during 9-months, sac began to progressively increase size. In...
Background: Newborns are fully capable of pain perception, and uncontrolled pain, especially in the early life will impose unwanted effects on child future. This study was performed to compare analgesic breast milk 20% dextrose caused by hepatitis B vaccination term neonates. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 210 neonates were recruited divided into three groups. The first group given 2 cc milk,the second dextrose orally third group, as control ,was not anything. Then, received...
Arachnoid cyst in the spine frequently arises from posterior to spinal cord thoracic region. Anterior cervical arachnoid is a rare entity of which only few cases have been reported literature. Herein, we present 26-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation with history rapid progressive quadriparesis that harbors large ventral located cyst. She emergently underwent laminectomy and wall fenestration. Postoperatively, her muscles strength was fully recovered without any neurologic deficit.
Reconstruction and restoration of dura is an important issue in many cases craniotomy.In that must be replaced large defects dura, the usage artificial increasing.During period between 2013 till 2017, a total 94 patients who underwent craniotomy for various reasons collagen Dural plates were applied repairing recruited to study.During follow-up these patients, 10 excluded from study, which remaining 84 11 infection "13%" observed.Eight occurred as subdural empyema cured with reoperation...
