Local regional recurrence (LRR) remains the primary cause of treatment failure in solid tumors despite advancements cancer therapies. Canady Helios Cold Plasma (CHCP) is a novel Atmospheric device that generates an Electromagnetic Field and Reactive Oxygen Nitrogen Species to induce cell death. In first FDA-approved Phase I trial (March 2020-April 2021), 20 patients with stage IV or recurrent underwent surgical resection combined intra-operative CHCP treatment. Safety was endpoint; secondary...
Diffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) has a high local recurrence rate and as such can lead to erosive destruction of the involved joint. Multiple surgical modalities exist, but it is unknown which technique best minimizes morbidity.We compared rates, arthritis progression, complications between arthroscopic open for diffuse PVNS knee.We retrospectively identified 103 patients with treated 1993 2011. Of these, 48 had diffuse-type knee by all-arthroscopic, posterior anterior,...
Augmented reality-mediated spine surgery (ARMSS) is a minimally invasive novel technology that has the potential to increase efficiency, accuracy, and safety of conventional percutaneous pedicle screw insertion methods. Visual 3D spinal anatomical 2D navigation images are directly projected onto operator's retina superimposed over surgical field, eliminating field vision attention shift remote display. The objective this cadaveric study was assess accuracy precision ARMSS implant insertion.
Abstract Background and Objectives Wide margin resection for pelvic tumors via internal hemipelvectomy is among the most technically challenging procedures in orthopedic oncology. As such, surgeon experience technique invariably affect patient outcomes. The aim of this clinical study was to assess how an individual surgeon's experiences advancements technology techniques treatment have impacted outcomes at our institution. Methods This retrospectively examined a single tertiary academic...
Prospective questionnaire.To describe patient perceptions of minimally invasive spine (MIS) versus open surgery, and to determine which factors are most heavily considered by the when choosing between approaches.MIS surgery has increased in popularity due proposed advantages perioperative immediate postoperative periods. However, preferences understanding with regard differences MIS have not been elucidated.An anonymous questionnaire consisting 30 questions was administered patients...
Retrospective cohort.Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) may be complicated by subsidence, which can lead to significant morbidity including pain, disc space collapse, neural compression, segmental kyphosis, instability, and vertebral body fracture. This study sought identify patient procedural risk factors for subsidence in patients undergoing ALIF.This analyzed consecutive who underwent ALIF at a single institution with minimum of 2 years follow-up. Patients were grouped as either...
Abstract Background Lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS), characterized as degeneration of the intervertebral disc and structural changes facet joints, is a condition with varying degrees instability that may lead to pain, canal stenosis, subsequent surgical intervention. However, etiology LDS remains inconclusive. Gut microbiome dysbiosis stimulate systemic inflammation in various disorders. role such upon spine health under‐studied. The current study assessed association gut...
