Necessity of Direct Decompression for Thoracolumbar Junction Burst Fractures With Neurological Compromise

World Neurosurgery, 2020
Surgical management of burst fractures is controversial, with many different operative options. From a posterior approach, decompression of the spinal cord can be performed through both indirect and direct methods, the former relying on ligamentotaxis.

When Indirect Decompression Fails

Spine, 2021
Study Design. A consecutive series of patients who underwent minimally invasive spinal surgery by a single surgeon at a high-volume academic medical center were studied. Objective. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence, radiographic features, and clinical ...

Decompression to altitude: assumptions, experimental evidence, and future directions

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2009
Although differences exist, hypobaric and hyperbaric exposures share common physiological, biochemical, and clinical features, and their comparison may provide further insight into the mechanisms of decompression stress. Although altitude decompression illness (DCI) has been experienced by high-altitude Air Force pilots and is common in ground-based ...

Efficient JPEG decompression by the alternating direction method of multipliers

2016 23rd International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2016
Standard decompression of JPEG images produces artifacts along edges and a disturbing checkerboard pattern. To reduce these artifacts, decompression can be formulated as an image reconstruction problem within Bayesian maximum a posteriori probability framework. In this type of problem, the prior information about an image is typically given by the l 1

Malignant MCA Stroke: an Update on Surgical Decompression and Future Directions

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2015
Despite a decline over the past decade in overall stroke mortality, hemispheric strokes retain a strikingly high mortality due to their potential for malignant edema and herniation. The pathogenesis of ischemic cerebral edema is steered by disruption of ionic homeostasis in the neurogliovascular unit.

Direct observation of human microcirculation during decompressive craniectomy after stroke*

Critical Care Medicine, 2011
Most knowledge related to the pathophysiology of microcirculation in ischemic stroke comes from experimental research. Unfortunately, data on microcirculation in the human brain are limited, partially as a result of the lack of appropriate investigational techniques.

Transcystic Biliary Decompression After Direct Laparoscopic Exploration of the Common Bile Duct

Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 1997
A purpose-designed transcystic common bile duct (CBD) decompression cannula is described for use as an alternative to T-tube insertion following laparoscopic direct CBD exploration. This permits safe primary closure of the choledochotomy.Following direct supraduodenal laparoscopic clearance of large common bile duct stones, the biliary decompression ...

Direct to Operating Room for Decompressive Craniotomy/Craniectomy in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury

Journal of Trauma Nursing, 2023
BACKGROUND: Emergent decompressive craniotomy/craniectomy can be a lifesaving surgical intervention for select patients with traumatic brain injury. Prompt management is critical as early decompression can impact traumatic brain injury outcomes.
