Comparative study of neck pain in relation to increase of cervical epidural pressure during percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. OBJECTIVE: By monitoring cervical epidural pressure (EP) changes throughout the procedure, we intend to discover the effect of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) on cervical epidural pressure and ... Read more...

Preemptive craniectomy with craniotomy: what role in the management of severe traumatic brain injury?

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) require aggressive management to prevent secondary brain injury. "Preemptive" craniectomy (CE)--craniectomy performed as a primary procedure in conjunction with craniotomy--has been used ... Read more...

Brain microbleeds relate to higher ambulatory blood pressure levels in first-ever lacunar stroke patients.

4 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypertension is an important risk factor for brain microbleeds (BMBs) in lacunar stroke patients. However, beyond the qualitative label "hypertension," little is known about the association with ambulatory blood pressure (BP) ... Read more...
