Expansion duroplasty improves intraspinal pressure, spinal cord perfusion pressure, and vascular pressure reactivity index in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury: injured spinal cord pressure evaluation study. [PDF]

, 2015
We recently showed that, after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), laminectomy does not improve intraspinal pressure (ISP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), or the vascular pressure reactivity index (sPRx) at the injury site sufficiently because ...

Guidelines for replacement of a balloon gastrostomy tube in infants and pediatric patients: The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Balloon gastrostomy tube (BGT) placements are increasing due to their ability to facilitate care of medically complex children. Management for routine and nonroutine tube replacement, including verification of proper replacement, lacks standardization, varying widely among different institutions and settings.

Factors Affecting Outcomes in Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study examined perioperative complications after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) in 3401 patients treated at a tertiary academic institution. Otolaryngologist co‐surgeons in revision and upper cervical spine (C1‐4) cases, and high‐volume spine surgeons (≥ 15 annual cases) were associated with lower complication rates ...

Altered Cerebrospinal Fluid Tryptophan–Kynurenine Pathway Metabolism in Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alterations in tryptophan–kynurenine (TRP‐KYN) metabolism, which is associated with neuroinflammation, remain unclear in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Objective The aim was to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TRP metabolites in MSA and their associations with other biomarkers.

No increased risk of spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak after spinal manipulative therapy: A retrospective cohort study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...

Pneumatization pattern of the temporal bone with volumetric assessment and its impact on the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid leak in patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma surgery via the retrosigmoid approach

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionVestibular schwannomas are benign tumors that account for 8% of all intracranial tumors. Due to their location in the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal, access to these lesions requires disruption of the temporal bone.
