The authors reviewed records of patients undergoing spine surgery, with reported incidence of peripheral nerve injury from positioning. IOM changes related to arm and leg positioning and sensitivity and specificity predicting the development of a new position-related peripheral nerve injury was calculated.
This study investigated the influence of psychiatric comorbidities on 30-day all-cause readmissions following elective spine surgery. The authors hypothesized that patients with high baseline affective disorders are most likely to be readmitted within 30 days of discharge.
For this study, the authors defined variables associated with neurosurgical NIH funding, the prevalence of funded topics by neurosurgical subspecialty and identified temporal trends in NIH neurosurgical funding by conducting a retrospective review of NIH-funded AANS members.
This research investigates the role of intraventricular transplantation using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell in stroke patients.
When evaluating complication rates against the timing of the cranioplasty, the authors found infection was significantly higher when the cranioplasty was performed 14 days from the original decompression.
While the OPD details physician interactions with industry, it suffers from multiple inaccuracies and a lack of appropriate context for value transfers.
This year, the organizations jointly offered a B*CURED-NREF Research Grant of $50,000, funded by B*CURED, for adult or pediatric brain tumor research.
