Background: Mechanomyography (MMG) is a neurodiagnostic technique with documented ability to evaluate the compression of nerve roots. Its utility in degenerative spine surgery unknown. Objective: To assess intraoperative MMG during cervical posterior foraminotomy, minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF), and tubular lumbar far lateral discectomy. Methods: A prospective feasibility study was conducted which applied three procedures. Adhesive accelerometers were placed on...
Background: The goal of this study was to relate diffusion MR measures white matter integrity the retinofugal visual pathway with prolactin levels in a patient downward herniation optic chiasm secondary medical treatment prolactinoma. Methods: A 36-year-old woman prolactinoma presented progressive bilateral field defects 9 years after initial diagnosis and treatment. She diagnosed empty-sella syndrome instructed stop cabergoline. Hormone testing conducted tandem routine clinical evaluations...
Objective:Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face many challenges compared to industrialized nations, most notably in regard the health care system. Patients often have travel long distances receive medical with few reliable transportation mechanisms. In time-critical emergencies, this is a significant disadvantage. One specialty that particularly affected by spine surgery. Within field, traumatic injuries acutely compressive pathologies are time-critical. Increasing global networking...
Context Prolactin, a hormone synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland demonstrates promise as neuroprotective agent, however, its role in humans and vivo during injury is not fully understood. Objective To investigate whether elevated levels of prolactin attenuate to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) following compression optic chiasm patients with secreting macroadenoma (i.e., prolactinoma). Design setting participants A retrospective cross-sectional study all treated at single...
INTRODUCTION: The literature points to a strong relationship between the composition of acute ischemic stroke thrombi and their susceptibility thrombolytic or endovascular treatment. Composition can be determined by molecular studies clot itself, but there is tremendous utility in being able predict solely on data available at patient presentation. METHODS: Quantitative proteomes were generated using mass spectrometry thromboembolic material retrieved thrombectomy from 59 patients. Of 2,790...
The Translational Brain Mapping Program at the University of Rochester is an interdisciplinary effort that integrates cognitive science, neurophysiology, neuroanesthesia, and neurosurgery. Patients who have tumors or epileptogenic tissue in eloquent brain areas are studied preoperatively with functional structural MRI, intraoperatively direct electrical stimulation mapping. Post-operative neural outcome measures fuel basic science studies about factors mediate good versus poor after surgery,...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND To correlate structural integrity of visual pathway white matter tracts with prolactin levels in a patient who demonstrates downward herniation the optic chiasm secondary to medical treatment prolactinoma. METHODS A 36-year-old woman prolactinoma presented progressive bilateral field defects nine years after initial diagnosis and treatment. She was diagnosed empty-sella syndrome instructed stop cabergoline. Hormone testing conducted tandem routine clinical evaluations...
