Moreover, BKP may result in a partial realignment of the sagittal shape of the vertebra and the spine. However, it is unclear whether BKP may result in long-term improvement of the sagittal alignment of the spine. The aim of the current study was to investigate if there is a significant loss of correction of the sagittal alignment of the thoracolumbar spine following BKP.A prospective, noncontrolled, nonrandomized study, consisting of 71 patients treated for single level osteoporotic compression fracture by BKP at 1 institution and by 1 s...

They were acting at a time when the global economic crisis and a consolidating Nazi dictatorship caused a cascade of alarming changes in political and social life. On the one hand it is fascinating to see how the restless work and energy of Tönnis managed to build up the first independent neurosurgical unit in Germany and to tighten efficient international connections all over the world within a few years. On the other hand – from a present-day perspective – it is difficult to understand how his strive towards a specialist's success, in contrast to that ...

For improved standardization of high-velocity trauma, new trauma devices for initiating closed traumatic brain injury in sheep were developed. The following new devices were tested: 1. An anatomically shaped rubber bolt with an integrated oscillation absorber for prevention of skull fractures; 2. Stationary mounting of the bolt to guarantee stable experimental conditions; 3. Varying degrees of trauma severity, i. e., mild and severe closed traumatic brain injury, using different cartridges; and 4. Trauma analysis via high-speed video recording.

Reduction of intracranial air will ultimately reduce brain shift. That total operation time does not influence intracranial air is discussed as well as the limitations of this pilot series. In the authors’ opinion, this straightforward and cost-effective technique has the potential to reduce brain shift and to increase DBS placement accuracy during functional stereotactic neurosurgical procedures performed in the seated or half-sitting position. A larger more standardized patient series is necessary to substantiate the findings.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full t...

However, our understanding of the mechanism of action of DBS is only minimal. This is largely due to a rudimentary understanding of dystonia pathophysiology itself, which in turn reflects an insufficient understanding of the functional significance of the cortico-striato-pallido-thalamocortical loops. The initial dystonia pathophysiology concept was one of changes in oscillation rate. Soon, it was realized that not only rate but also the pattern of basal ganglia activity is crucial in the etiology of the disease.

In general, the clinical course of these patients is more favorable than that of patients with a detected ruptured aneurysm. We wanted to assess whether vessel variants of the vertebro-basilar circulation are more common in patients with PMSAH than in patients with SAH caused by intracranial aneurysms.

In this review the evidence-based data are analysed. Monitoring appears useful especially in sedated patients, but there is no study which provides evidence of its overall benefit for the patient. The decision for or against ICP monitoring must therefore be based on weighing the potential benefits versus the risk for the individual patient according to the personal experience and judgement of the attending neurosurgeon.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkGet connected:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Zentralblatt fur Neurochirurgie - Central European Neurosurgery) Zentralblatt fur Neurochirurgie - Central European Neurosurgery journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3507910 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:48:09 +0100 3507910 Posterior Fossa Extradural Haematomas http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3507909&cid=s_36630_153_f&fid=36630&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thieme-connect.com%2FDOI%2FDOI10.1055%2Fs-0030-1249046 Cen Eur NeurosurgDOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1249046Abstract Posttraumatic epidural haematoma (EDH) of the temporal region is the most common site of supratentorial extradural bleeding; other locations are considered atypical.
