Study Looks At Reasons For Lack Of Improvement In Outcomes For Treatment Of Unruptured Brain Aneurysms
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of unruptured brain aneurysms, outcomes have remained stagnant over the last 10 years. This can be explained by the dramatic proliferation of minimally invasive endoscopic coiling procedures at lower-volume community hospitals, where outcomes are inferior. These findings are reported in a study by neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuro-anesthesiologists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and published in the journal Stroke...

Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Florida have shown that cerebral optically-based near infra-red spectroscopic oximetry applied to patients who have suffered a stroke can help monitor regional cerebral perfusion in real time, and thus “may serve as a useful, noninvasive, bedside intensive care unit monitoring tool to assess brain oxygenation in a direct manner.” The study looked at the device called Fore-Sight from Casmed of Branford, CT, that measures blood oxygen, similar to a finger clip pulse oximeter. The Mayo study results have been published in Journal of Neurosurgery this month.Regional cerebral blood flo...

Contrary to earlier findings, surgical breast biopsies may not be as overused as previously thought, according to a study in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

We describe the anesthetic management of a patient with severe myasthenia gravis and tracheal stenosis; the patient was scheduled for direct laryngoscopy and dilatation. The combination of myasthenia gravis and tracheal obstruction presents several difficulties for anesthetic management. The airway is shared; therefore, any complications are also shared by the anesthesiologist and bronchoscopists. The potential for respiratory compromise in patients undergoing the two procedures requires that anesthesiologists be familiar with the underlying disease state, as well as the interaction of anesthetic and nonanesthetic drugs in...

Conclusion. Acute TUDCA infusion and chronic UDCA treatment both stimulate bile flow in CF conditions independently from Cftr function. Chronic UDCA treatment reduces the hydrophobicity of the bile salt pool in Cftr(-/-) mice. These results support a potential beneficial effect of UDCA on bile flow and bile salt metabolism in CF conditions.

Thus, in our study it was not a rare variation of the IAN, where in most cases it innervated the lateral pterygoid muscle. In some cases, it terminated in the lateral pterygoid muscle. In others, it penetrated the musc...

Airway obstruction in animals leads to compensation and avoidance behavior and elicits respiratory mechanosensation. The pattern of respiratory load compensation and neural activation in response to intrinsic, transient, tracheal occlusions (ITTO) via an inflatable tracheal cuff are unknown. We hypothesized that ITTO would cause increased diaphragm activity, decreased breathing frequency, and activation of neurons within the medullary and pontine respiratory centers without changing airway compliance. Obstructions were performed for 2–3 breaths followed by a minimum of 15 unobstructed breaths with an inflatable cuff ...

From this, a complete management program can be instituted. The following description of gynecologic, urologic, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurologic conditions that can cause or are associated with chronic pelvic pain l...

Immediate-rescue designs using opioid-sparing, rather than pain scores, as a primary outcome measure have been successfully used in pediatric analgesic efficacy t...
