Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

Fluoroscope guided epidural needle insertioin in midthoracic region: clinical evaluation of Nagaro's method [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
BackgroundIn the midthoracic region, a fluroscope guided epidural block has been proposed by using a pedicle as a landmark to show the height of the interlaminar space (Nagaro's method).

New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

An algorithm for seizure detection in rodents

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy animal research often relies on long‐term intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings. Here, we describe an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm for automatic detection of seizures. Methods The algorithm was trained on iEEG recordings of three mouse models of chronic epilepsy: (1) the pilocarpine model of ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Feasibility of Cervical Epidural Anesthesia for Breast Cancer Surgery

Anesthesiology Research and Practice, 2017
Background. Effects of perioperative cervical level neuraxial blocks on the dissemination of cancer metastases have become a matter of substantial interest. However, experience with these catheters has been limited and data on feasibility and efficacy is

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Very Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Multidimensional Health‐Related Quality of Life After Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas: A Prospective Cohort Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate postoperative health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) for pituitary adenoma patients, multidimensional assessment is important. Available data is limited on long‐term follow‐up. Methods Prospectively, 52 nonfunctioning (NFA) and functioning (FA) pituitary adenoma patients were included.
