vertebral hemangioma   epidural extension   stereotactic radiosurgery  

Vertebral hemangiomas are the most common primary tumors of the spine. Most vertebral hemangiomas are asymptomatic benign lesions, but in a few cases, if the mass grows and extends into the epidural space, compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots, it may lead to neurological symptoms such as pain, sensory abnormalities, or motor deficits. The tre...

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Patients with Stroke Presenting with Low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score in Early and Late Time Windows

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke Patients with Low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score Background Acute ischemic stroke is a life-threatening disease, and large vessel occlusion is one of the major causes of severe disability. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has become the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke, with multiple cli...

Caudal Agenesis: Classification Based on the Pathoembryogenesis of the Spinal Cord

caudal agenesis   failure of secondary neurulation   spinal cord malformation  

This is a report on a new classification method for caudal agenesis: Caudal agenesis is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of lower vertebrae. Previous classifications of caudal agenesis were primarily based on the level of bony deficiency or the position of the terminal spinal cord, but there has been debate as to whether these cla...

Correlation between Task Complexity and Accuracy of Cortical Language Mapping Introduction This study aimed to investigate whether task complexity affects the accuracy of mapping language functions during direct cortical stimulation mapping (DCS). The researchers hypothesized that due to the reduced computational ability of neurons in the cortex in...

In this study, researchers explored the role of the TAK1 activation pathway in CAR T cell therapy-associated immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). They established a mouse ICANS model and found that following the transfer of CAR19 T cells, cerebellar cells were activated, underwent morphological changes, and expressed more...
