چکیده
The authors used a computerized neurocognitive assessment tool (CNS Vital Sign, CNSVS) in a pediatric trauma patient in the emergency department to examine neurocognitive functioning in children and adolescents. They compared a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) group with orthopedic injury controls (OICs). CNSVS was developed to rapidly screen cognitive abilities and has high adequate concurrent validity. It is composed of several cognitive function tests including a verbal memory test and Stroop task. Each test score is computed and summarized in domain scores. The CNSVS comprises three domain scores: Verbal memory, cognitive flexibility, and reaction time.

Hyperglycemia and antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 in traumatic brain injury patients on parenteral nutrition
Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...

متن کاملRole of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Adults with Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis: A Narrative Review
Background and Aim: Degenerative lumbar scoliosis is a spinal deformity resulting from advanced disc degeneration and facet arthropathy. Given the inconclusive available literature and lack of high-quality data supporting the role of minimally invasive surgical management of degenerative lumbar scoliosis, this review intends to highlight and compare the various viable minimally invasive surgica...
متن کاملMinimally invasive procedures for the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome.
Failed back surgery syndrome has become unfortunately a common clinical entity. FBSS does not have one specific treatment because it does not have one specific cause. Some features are shared with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and some pathological processes are specific. Both pathologies are leading causes of disability in the industrialized world and costly medical and surgical treatments are ...
