To determine the long-term efficacy of anterior temporal lobectomy for medically refractory lobe epilepsy in patients with nonlesional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).We identified a retrospective cohort 44 modern "seizure protocol" MRI who underwent treatment partial epilepsy. Postoperative seizure freedom was determined by Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis. Noninvasive preoperative diagnostic factors potentially associated excellent surgical outcome were examined univariate analysis 40...
Reinitiating warfarin sodium therapy in a patient with recent warfarin-related intracerebral hemorrhage (WAICH) is difficult clinical decision. Therefore, it important to assess the outcome of resumption or discontinuation after WAICH.To compare patients who survived an episode WAICH and restarted group did not resume therapy. Design, Setting, Patients We conducted follow-up study from November 1, 2001, through December 31, 2005, cohort single center. Long-term was assessed at last via...
Although subtraction ictal SPECT coregistered to MRI (SISCOM) is clinically useful in epilepsy surgery evaluation, it does not determine whether the ictal-interictal difference statistically different from expected random variation between 2 studies. We developed a statistical parametric mapping and voxel-based method of analyzing data (statistical [STATISCOM]) compared with SISCOM.Two serial studies were performed 11 healthy volunteers without (control subjects) measure individuals....
Because focal encephalomalacia is an important cause of medically intractable partial epilepsy and few studies have evaluated the efficacy safety resecting focal-encephalomalacias to improve seizure control, we studied a cohort 17 consecutive patients who underwent resection encephalomalacias in frontal lobes as treatment their epilepsy.We several factors for value predicting postsurgical control. Pre- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were reviewed independently by 2 blinded...
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the pathogens involved in gingival inflammation, which may trigger neuroinflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate protective (preventive and treatment) effects a lactobacilli mixture combining Lactobacillus reuteri PTCC1655, brevis CD0817, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus PTCC1637, plantarum PTCC1058 against P. gingivalis-induced inflammation AD-like pathology rats. These probiotic strains exhibited...
Tc-99m ethyl cysteinate diethylester (ECD) and hexamethyl propylene amine oxime (HMPAO) are commonly used for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies of a variety neurologic disorders. Although these tracers have been very helpful in diagnosing guiding treatment disease, data describing the distribution laterality normal resting brain limited. Advances quantitative functional imaging demonstrated value using from control populations as baseline to account physiologic...
As with any evolving surgical discipline, it is difficult to predict the future of practice and science spine surgery. In last decade, there have been dramatic developments in both techniques as well tools employed delivery better outcomes patients undergoing such this article, we explore four specific areas surgery: namely role minimally invasive surgery; motion preservation; robotic-aided surgery neuro-navigation; use biological substances reduce number traditional revision...
Currarino syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic condition that presents with the defining triad of anorectal malformations, sacral bone deformations, and presacral masses, which may include teratoma. Neurosurgeons are involved in surgical treatment anterior meningoceles, often associated this condition. The accepted staged anterior-posterior resection mass obliteration meningocele.This case 36-year-old female who presented late onset symptoms attributed to CS (e.g., mass, meningocele, agenesis)....
Of patients who have undergone lateral approaches to the thoracic spine, surgical site postoperative pain appears be greater among those transection and removal of a rib segment than not. Therefore, techniques that conserve anatomical position minimize tissue disruption would theoretically result in less quicker recovery. Herein, we describe rib-sparing osteoplastic technique used when segments need displaced order create an unobscured corridor operative target. Our approach minimizes soft...
In this video, the authors demonstrate a minimally invasive approach and resection of paraspinal schwannoma. Using an expandable retractor, were able to identify important adjacent bony landmarks hence visualize remove peripheral nerve sheath tumor. While tubular retractor is commonly used for interbody fusion procedures, location tumor allowed resulting in excellent access, minimal soft-tissue injury, short hospital stay. The present as less yet effective technique otherwise...
Consistent with EBSJ’s commitment to fostering quality research, we are pleased feature some of the most highly rated abstracts from 10th Annual AOSpine North America Fellows Forum in Banff, Canada. Enhancing evidence spine care means acknowledging and supporting efforts young researchers within our network. We look forward seeing more these promising future.
We present a rare case of thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis secondary to pulmonary Blastomyces dermatitides.A 27-year-old male presented with three months chest pains and non-productive cough. Examination revealed diminished breath sounds on the right. CT/MR imaging confirmed right-sided pre-/paravertebral soft tissue mass destructive lytic lesions from T2 T6. CT-guided needle biopsy granulomatous Blastomycosis. Conservative management antifungal therapy was initiated. Neurosurgical review no...
