A retrospective review.The purpose of this study was to determine the role in body habitus and weight distribution on developing a surgical site infection (SSI).SSI after lumbar spine surgery remains significant cause morbidity. The literature demonstrates an increased risk postoperative infections associated with obesity, diabetes, multilevel surgeries.A review performed consecutive cohort 298 adult patients who underwent fusion surgeries between 2006 2008 at Duke University Medical Center....
The prognosis of elderly patients with glioblastoma (GBM) is universally poor. Currently, few studies have examined postoperative outcomes and the effects various modern therapies such as bevacizumab on survival in this patient population. In study, authors evaluated factors overall a cohort newly diagnosed GBM.A retrospective review was performed (≥ 65 years old) GBM treated between 2004 2010. Various characteristics were univariate multivariate stepwise models to examine their complication...
Surgical site infections increase the incidence of morbidity and mortality as well health-care expenses. The cost care increases threefold to fourfold a consequence surgical infection after spinal surgery. aim present study was determine role subcutaneous fat thickness in development following cervical spine fusion surgery.We performed retrospective review consecutive cohort 213 adult patients who underwent posterior between 2006 2008 at Duke University Medical Center. horizontal distance...
Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with two well-developed ventricles and a remote ventricular septal defect (VSD) may present therapeutic challenge. Echocardiographic imaging of such complex cases does not always provide all the information required to decide on an operative approach (biventricular or univentricular) design intracardiac baffle direct left outflow through VSD aorta for biventricular repair. A three dimensional (3D) printed model heart based upon data derived...
Object Tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) have always proven difficult for neurosurgeons to optimally manage. Studies investigating natural history and treatment vestibular schwannomas dominated literature in this regard. Distinguishing meningiomas from location carries particular importance as each tumor type has certain prognostic surgical considerations. In study, authors characterized outcomes 34 patients surgically treated CPA investigated various factors that may affect...
A consecutive case series from a single center of patients undergoing primary microdiscectomy for lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) who received microbiologic laboratory culture excised disc material.To determine the prevalence positive bacterial cultures in material immunocompetent without diabetes mellitus or other immune compromise.The intradiscal space is physiologically tenuous environment terms oxygen tension, pH, and vascularity. This may be susceptible to indolent infections...
Abstract Purpose Sonodynamic therapy, which combines a tumor cell-selective sonosensitizer with ultrasound, is gaining attention as promising new treatment approach for glioblastoma. The objective of this case study to report on the first applications 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in combination low-intensity, non-targeted ultrasound neo-adjuvant therapy naïve Methods Three patients newly diagnosed glioblastoma were treated once before cytoreductive surgery 5-ALA hemispheric, assuming cell...
Introduction: Pituitary adenomas are classified according to their size and cell-type of origin. While a third half pituitary do not secrete hormones (NFA), majority functional. Secreted include prolactin, growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating (TSH), gonadotropin-secreting hormones. However, all that stain for hormone-secreting cells truly Microsurgical removal is the standard care types clinically significant adenomas, except prolactinomas. Studies about...
Introduction: Unplanned readmissions to the hospital after neurosurgical procedures are burdensome patients, clinicians, and systems. Research has continued show that race socioeconomic status influence health outcomes. Understanding how race, status, medical comorbidities recovery pituitary surgery is crucial for improving quality of care. The aim this study identify significant factors impact likelihood emergency room readmission 90 days tumor resection.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are a type of vascular malformation that form within the dura mater. Though historically considered rare, their detection is expected to increase with broader use advanced cerebral angiography techniques. We describe two 80-year-old men presented for neurovascular procedures. The first, following an emergency craniotomy subdural hematoma (SDH) evacuation, underwent middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE). During procedure, incidental, asymptomatic and...
Despite advances in technology and understanding spinal physiology, reoperation for symptomatic adjacent-segment disease (ASD), same-level recurrent stenosis, pseudarthrosis elderly patients continues to occur. While revision lumbar surgery is effective, attention has turned questions on the utility value of decompression fusion procedure. To date, an analysis cost health state gain associated with pseudarthrosis, ASD, or stenosis yet be performed. The aim this study was assess long-term...
Abstract Introduction Prolactinomas are a common intracranial neoplasm and constitute most pituitary tumors. Although patients can present with variable hormone dysregulation symptom severity, the use of dopamine agonists remains first-line treatment. While bromocriptine has been found to increase tumor fibrosis, effect cabergoline on collagen deposition disputed. The aim this article is understand influence fibrosis prior resection. Case Presentations Four male who underwent prolactinoma...
Standard-of-care first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM) is maximal safe surgical resection, then concurrent radiotherapy and temozolomide, followed by maintenance temozolomide. IGV-001, the first product of Goldspire™ platform, a first-in-class autologous immunotherapeutic that combines personalized whole tumor–derived cells an antisense oligonucleotide (IMV-001) in implantable biodiffusion chambers, intent to induce tumor-specific immune response ndGBM....
