Abstract The early neuropathological features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) are protein aggregates in motor neurons and microglial activation. Similar pathology characterizes Guamanian ALS/Parkinsonism dementia complex, which may be triggered by the cyanotoxin β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA). We report here occurrence ALS/MND-type pathological changes vervets (Chlorocebus sabaeus; n = 8) fed oral doses a dry powder BMAA HCl salt (210 mg/kg/day) for 140...
In this paper we provide a framework for combining multiple quantum simulation methods, such as Trotter-Suzuki formulas and QDrift into single Composite channel that builds upon older coalescing ideas reducing gate counts. The central idea behind our approach is to use partitioning scheme allocates Hamiltonian term the Trotter or part of within simulation. This allows us simulate small but numerous terms using while simulating larger high-order formula. We prove rigorous bounds on diamond...
Abstract Background: Cavernous angiomas (CAs) affect 0.5% of the population, predisposing to serious neurologic sequelae from brain bleeding. A leaky gut epithelium associated with a permissive microbiome, was identified in patients who develop CAs, favoring lipid polysaccharide producing bacterial species. Micro-ribonucleic acids along plasma levels proteins reflecting angiogenesis and inflammation were also previously correlated CA symptomatic hemorrhage. Methods: The metabolome hemorrhage...
Background: Large decompressive craniectomies may be life-saving; however, they also result in syndrome of the trephined. This postrecovery sequela is characterized by dizziness, fatigue, depression, weakness, speech slowing, gait disturbance, and impaired mentation. Because this entity poorly understood, authors attempted to quantify functional improvement patients with trephined after cranial vault reconstruction. Methods: Patients defects (>50 cm 2 ) from trauma, meningioma, hemorrhage...
BackgroundIn the context of increased attention afforded to hospital efficiency and improved but safe patient throughput, decreasing unnecessary length stay (LOS) is imperative. Given that lumbar spine procedures may be among a hospital's most profitable services, identifying patients at risk healthcare resource utilization prior surgery valuable opportunity develop targeted pre- peri-operative intervention quality improvement initiatives. The purpose present investigation was examine...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating neurologic disorder that can result in significant morbidity and mortality, as well long term disability. Pediatric spinal injuries account for only 5% of all injuries. Understanding differences anatomic epidemiologic characteristics between pediatric adult SCI paramount to the accurate evaluation, diagnosis, treatment this potentially pathology. Standardized neurological examination dedicated spine imaging guide optimal management. For both...

The Internet of Things (IoT) holds great potential for productivity, quality control, supply chain efficiencies and overall business operations.However, with this broader connectivity, new vulnerabilities attack vectors are being introduced, increasing opportunities systems to be compromised by hackers targeted attacks.These pose severe threats a myriad IoT applications within areas such as manufacturing, healthcare, power energy grids, transportation commercial building management.While...
The aim of this study was to describe a minimally invasive transforaminal surgical technique for treating awake patients presenting with lumbar radiculopathy and compressive facet cysts.Awake endoscopic decompression surgery performed in 645 over 6-year period from 2014 2020. Transforaminal utilizing high-speed drill 25 who had cysts. All surgeries were as outpatient procedures patients. Nine the previously undergone laminectomies at treated level. A retrospective chart review...
Diagnosis, pathophysiology, and rationale for surgical intervention in adult-onset tethered cord syndrome (ATCS) remain controversial. In this population, comorbid degenerative spinal disease (DSD) prior trauma may sometimes distract from radiologic evidence of TCS. We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records consecutive patients (2011–2019) presenting with back pain, lower extremity neurological symptoms, and/or urinary or bowel who had fatty filum terminale (FT) low-lying conus...
Background: Socioeconomic factors can bias clinician decision-making in many areas of medicine. Psychosocial characteristics such as diagnosis alcoholism, substance abuse, and major psychiatric disorder are emerging potential sources conscious unconscious bias. We hypothesized that these psychosocial factors, addition to socioeconomic may impact the decision operate on patients with a traumatic cervicothoracic fracture associated spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: performed cohort analysis...
<h3>Background</h3> Due to its ultraminimally invasive nature, endoscopic spinal surgery is an attractive tool in oncologic care. To date, there has been no comprehensive review of this topic. The authors therefore present a thorough search the medical literature on techniques for oncology. <h3>Methods</h3> A systematic using PubMed was conducted following keywords: spine surgery, oncology, and tumors. <h3>Results</h3> Collectively, 19 cases described Endoscopic employed care patients with...
