Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Final Assessment

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
The era of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has nearly closed; only occasional cases with exceptionally long incubation periods are still appearing.

Managing the risk of iatrogenic transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the UK.

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: With the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in the UK, there is concern about iatrogenic transmission, and the approach to managing this risk is unique.

Paresthesia thresholds in spinal cord stimulation: a comparison of theoretical results with clinical data [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The potential distributions produced in the spinal cord and surrounding tissues by dorsal epidural stimulation at the midcervical, midthoracic, and low thoracic levels were calculated with the use of a volume conductor model.

Ultrasound Activated Piezoelectric Dural Patches to Drive Endogenous Neural Stem Cell–Mediated Repair Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a wireless, non‐invasive strategy for neural repair by developing a biodegradable piezoelectric dural patch that, under transcranial ultrasound, generates localized electrical fields to drive endogenous neural stem cells toward neuronal differentiation and functional integration.

Role of human dural fibroblasts in the angiogenic responses of human endothelial cells: An in vitro dural model and the application of lab‐on‐a‐chip for EDAS

open access: yesBioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2023
Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS), an indirect anastomosis procedure, is widely accepted as a primary treatment for moyamoya disease (MMD) to improve collateral blood flow. During surgical intervention, dural fibroblasts (DuF) are thought to produce

Hyperostosis cranialis interna and an ectopic ossification on the endosteal dura deep to the trigeminal ganglion: Case analysis and clinical implications

open access: yesTranslational Research in Anatomy, 2023
Introduction: Hyperostosis cranialis interna (HCI) is a hereditary sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by excessive endosteal bone growth in the cranium.

Spinal Cord Trauma: An Overview of Normal Structure and Function, Primary and Secondary Mechanisms of Injury, and Emerging Treatment Modalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The structures of the spinal cord and vertebral column are designed to provide flexibility, while still providing ample protection for the spinal cord deep within.

Dynamic Active Constraints for Surgical Robots using Vector Field Inequalities

open access: yes, 2019
Robotic assistance allows surgeons to perform dexterous and tremor-free procedures, but robotic aid is still underrepresented in procedures with constrained workspaces, such as deep brain neurosurgery and endonasal surgery.

A novel mouse model simulating C5 palsy after cervical surgery

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study establishes a reliable mouse model of permanent C5 palsy (post‐laminectomy complication) via dorsal approach, selectively severing the C5 anterior nerve root while preserving the posterior root through partial C4 and C5 laminectomy. The model successfully replicates clinical C5P features—flaccid shoulder paralysis, electrophysiological ...

Slippery Epidural ECoG Electrode for High-Performance Neural Recording and Interface

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
Chronic implantation of an epidural Electrocorticography (ECoG) electrode produces thickening of the dura mater and proliferation of the fibrosis around the interface sites, which is a significant concern for chronic neural ECoG recording applications ...
