The adoption of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare demands a careful analysis their potential to spread false medical knowledge. Because LLMs ingest massive volumes data from the open Internet during training, they are potentially exposed unverified knowledge that may include deliberately planted misinformation. Here, we perform threat assessment simulates data-poisoning attack against Pile, popular dataset used for LLM development. We find replacement just 0.001% training tokens...
Typical carotid webs are nonatherosclerotic shelf-like projections of fibromyxoid tissue extending from the posterior wall proximal internal artery (ICA). Carotid may precipitate acute embolic stroke, especially in younger patients. We describe our experience with pathology-proven atypical appearance, or (ACWs), a subset exhibiting abnormal location, morphology, association atherosclerotic changes. Our electronic medical record database was queried for all imaging impressions containing...
INTRODUCTION: Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (dAVF) surgery is a microsurgical procedure that requires confirmation of obliteration using formal cerebral angiography. However, the lack intraoperative angiogram or need for post operative in some settings necessitates search alternative, less invasive methods to verify surgical success. Beyond qualitative confirmations ICG can provide, we aimed assess quantitative results as an additional FLOW800. This study explores potential FLOW800 technology...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate intraoperative flow measurements are important for cerebral revascularization surgeries. Traditionally, these require direct manipulations of the vessels to measure with transonic probes. This study evaluates feasibility estimating using ICG-videoangiography-FLOW800 technology – a hands-off method quantifying hemodynamics. METHODS: We conducted retrospective analysis 39 cases, assessing FLOW800 features (Speed, Delay Time, Rise Time Peak) from three Regions Interests...
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is an aggressive fungal infection involving the paranasal sinuses, orbit, and intracranial cavity, with a propensity for vascular invasion. This can lead to complications such as internal carotid artery (ICA) thrombosis occlusion, presenting major neurosurgical challenges. Although surgical debridement antifungal therapy are mainstays of treatment, cases significant neurovascular involvement require specialized...
Introduction Flow diversion with the pipeline embolization device (PED) is an effective endovascular treatment. However, metal surface's thrombogenicity and need for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) are notable limitations. Few prior studies have reported specifically on flow diverters’ safety in patients hemoglobinopathies, a population at increased risk of thrombotic hemorrhagic complications. Methods Natural language processing queried our institution's medical records intracranial...
The objective of this study was to report the results a bibliometric analysis on modern corpus literature pertaining endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). Prior bibliometrics studies ETV have focused highly cited articles, but an advanced has not yet been conducted.
Iatrogenic cerebrovascular injury can cause intracranial hemorrhage and pseudoaneurysm formation, putting patients at high risk for postoperative bleeding. No consensus management exists. This study describes endovascular treatment of these acute injuries with flow diverter stents.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral (STA-MCA) bypass is the workhorse for flow augmentation surgery. Although either interrupted or running sutures can be used complete anastomosis with high intraoperative patency rates, no previous study in cranial literature has compared long-term and maturity of end-to-side STA-MCA anastomoses. We anastomoses performed vs by evaluating anastomotic maturation on follow-up vascular imaging. METHODS: Ninety-six were from...
Objective: We sought to analyze public and private hospital patient cohorts in New York City (NYC) assess differences access outcomes from 2009-2022.Methods: Inpatient neurosurgical discharges, as determined by APR-DRG codes, 2009-2022 were aggregated for seven NYC hospitals, four three public, via the Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System (SPARCS). Statistical analyses (Z-tests) performed Python.Results: 325,351 patients identified, 223,361 101,990 public. Private hospitals had...
Abstract Objective To validate the carotid web (CW) risk stratification assessment described in our previous work with a larger cohort of patients incidentally found asymptomatic CWs. Methods A retrospective analysis electronic medical record database identified all diagnosis CW from 2017-2024 at institution. We included symptomatic and those webs, meaning webs no history stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Patient charts were reviewed for demographics, imaging, comorbidities,...
BACKGROUND Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the multisystem development of benign tumors. Patients with TSC are also at an increased risk developing intracranial aneurysms early in life. While have historically been treated open surgical clipping, endovascular approaches increasingly being used both pediatric and adult populations. OBSERVATIONS In this case series, authors report treatment three young patients fusiform using Pipeline embolization...
