Medically refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is frequently treated with venous sinus stenosis stenting high success rates. Patient selection has been driven almost exclusively by identification of supraphysiological pressure gradients across stenotic regions based on theoretical assessment likelihood response.To explore the possibility benefit in low gradient patients.Using a single-center, prospectively maintained registry patients IIH undergoing stenting, we defined...
INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common across all age groups resulting in acute and chronic disabilities. Although it known that TBI causes profound transcriptional changes, the influence of sex on response to has not been adequately elucidated. METHODS: Groups (n=4/group) adult male female C57BL\6 mice received a mild-to-moderate or sham surgery. Five days post-injury, animals were euthanized ipsilateral hippocampus was extracted isolate total RNA. RNA quantity integrity...
Transverse surface waves were produced in a rectangular open channel the region where otherwise steady, uniform, flow passed through cluster of vertical circular cylinders. The cylinders could represent either naturally occurring obstacles such as vegetation or man-made structures group piles driven into bed river. from periodic forces created by vortex shedding These generated and then amplified transverse channel. In some experiments had amplitudes 35% mean depth. resonance-generated...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common adult glioma. Differentiating post-treatment effects such as pseudoprogression from true progression paramount for treatment. Radiomics has been shown to predict overall survival and MGMT (methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) promoter status in those with GBM. A potential application of radiomics predicting on pre-radiotherapy (RT) scans patients retrospective review was performed radiomic data analyzed using pre-RT MRI scans. Pseudoprogression defined...
Abstract Neurosurgery is male dominated with women representing only 12% of residents and 5% practicing neurosurgeons. The conflicting demands training versus pregnancy motherhood are significant deterrents to entering the field. We examined incidence timing, perinatal complications, perceived career impact on female neurosurgeons using an anonymous survey 643 training, practicing, retired from United States. Among 260 respondents, 50.8% (132/260) reported pregnancies, average age at first...
Optimal management of grade II meningiomas following resection remains controversial, owing mostly to the heterogeneity post-operative (post-op) recurrence patterns across studies. Improved risk stratification these patients would ensure that only those most at undergo appropriate post-op radiation therapy (RT).Medical records from who underwent for were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, disease characteristics, treatment, and clinical course data collected. Logistic regression, Cox...
Purpose The “July effect” refers to the phenomenon of a higher complication incidence and lower survival rate for patients treated at academic institutions during beginning medical calendar. To date, no multi-center study has examined presence in large cohort trauma patients. We sought determine if there is by-month effect on length stay (LOS) centers. Methods performed multicenter, retrospective between 2010 2020 from five high-volume centers United States. included all adult motor vehicle...
Background: Self-inflicted nail gun injuries are a rare phenomenon that can result in traumatic damage. The velocity of the is generally fast enough to penetrate skull. However, extent damage depends on exact angle and structures brain encountered by nails. Case Description: A 55-year-old male presented with 32 nails head was found down. Initially, patient localization but had be intubated soon after due declining condition. This report describes operative technique for safe removal all...
