Following a medical records review, subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria were consented and enrolled in the prospective arm of the study. CT-scans and dynamic X-rays were performed to assess fusion rates, range of motion and translation. Adverse events during the 2-year post-index procedure were also analyzed. Pre-operative and 2+ year Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) back and leg scores and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were also obtained. Results: A total of 112 subjects were enrolled with 56 patients included in the PS and FFX groups. Mean age was 63.1±11.2 and 67.1±10.9 years and the mean number of levels operated was 1.8±0.8 and 2.3±1.0 respectively for the PS and FFX groups. There was no difference between the two groups for the primary composite fusion endpoint assessed (respectively 60.0% vs. 70.9%, p=0.120). There was also no difference in postoperative complications or adverse events during the 2-year follow-up period. A higher percentage of patients in the PS group (10.7%) required reoperation compared to the FFX group (3.6%). While both groups experienced significant improvements in VAS and ODI scores versus pre-operative assessment, there was no difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The present study documents the long-term safety and efficacy of the FFX device in patients with LSS with a reduction in reoperation rate when compared to PS fixation.","PeriodicalId":501051,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Surgery","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138816638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the lack of early assessment of the impact on cognitive structural systems, Therefore, there is a need to develop early predictive and/or decision-making models, termed the a-SAH Early Brain Edema/Hematoma Compression Neural (Structural Brain) Networks Score System (SEBE-HCNNSS). Methods 202 consecutive patients with spontaneous a-SAH and initial CT/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (24 h of ictus) and follow-up 2 months. Clinically relevant factors and a variety of traditional different scale ratings were defined using Linear regression analysis (Univariate, multivariate). The risk factors with highest values for area under the curve (AUC) were included in the multivariate analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis or Cox regression analysis.\u0000Results A total of 177 patients were enrolled in this study, 43 patients had a high SEBE-HCNNSS classification (grade 3 to 5). After a mean follow-up of 2month, 121 individuals (68.36%) with a-SAH and 3 control subjects had incident CI. The CT inter-observer reliability of the SEBE-HCNNSS scale was high, with a Kappa value of 1. ROC analysis showed that the SEBE-HCNNSS scale (OR 3.322, 95% CI 2.312-7.237, p = 0.00025) was determined to be an independent predictor of edema, CI and unfavorable prognosis.

Geographically, postoperative adhesions and hernia have been documented as the most common aetiology of mechanical bowel obstruction in high-income and low-and-middle-income countries, respectively. Whether there has been a change in this trend in low- and middle-income countries is a matter of speculation in the surgical community. Therefore, to fill this knowledge gap, this study aims to systematically review the existing literature on the aetiology of mechanical bowel obstruction with a focus on understanding the most common cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in low- and middle-income countries in both paediatric and adult populations to guide surgical practice.\u0000Methodology and Analysis: This protocol was designed and written according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocol 2015 (PRISMA-P 2015) statement. However, the results of the systematic review will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. We will consider studies published in English and French between 2002 and 2022 that reported on the aetiology of mechanical bowel obstruction in any age group in low- and middle-income countries. We will conduct a literature search using Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, CINAHL on EBSCO and Web of Science databases employing relevant subject headings, keywords and synonyms, which will be combined using Boolean operators to refine the search results. A hand search of references of retrieved literature will be conducted. The retrieved articles will be imported into Zotero for de-duplication. The resulting set of titles and abstracts will be uploaded to Rayyan (an AI-assisted online systematic review tool), where they will be double-checked to identify articles eligible for inclusion. Two independent reviewers will screen articles to be included and disagreement will be resolved by discussion or by a third reviewer as a tie-breaker. Also, data extraction will be done by one reviewer and confirmed by another. Critical appraisal to assess the quality of the included studies will be carried out by two independent reviewers using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tools. We anticipate that the eligible studies will be quite heterogeneous in terms of their design, outcomes of interest, populations and comorbidities. Therefore, results may be synthesised descriptively without meta-analysis using charts, graphs and tables. Where possible, we will conduct a sub-analysis using conceptual frameworks based on age, WHO regions and continents.\u0000Ethics and Dissemination: No ethical approval will be sought because the required data is already in the public domain.

Surgical intervention is frequently required to correct these deformities and restore spinal alignment. Multi-rod constructs have emerged as a valuable technique in the surgical management of ASD. This approach involves the utilization of multiple rods in the spinal fusion procedure, offering enhanced stability and correction of deformities. The primary objective of this review is to explore the benefits and outcomes associated with multi-rod use in adult spinal deformity. The study highlights key findings from several studies that demonstrate the advantages of multi-rod constructs over single-rod constructs. These advantages include improved three-dimensional correction, increased fusion rates, and enhanced stability.

Establishment of a perioperative safety concept for the clinical administration of MDN-PIPAC by ex- and in-vivo porcine simulation studies. Consecutive unicentric case series of 30 MDN-PIPACs in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM). Endpoints were intraoperative adverse events and perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo).\u0000Results: Toxicological studies/risk assessment confirm the safety of administering PIPAC with the MDN. The horizontal nozzles must protrude at least 7 mm beyond the most distal end of the trocar tip and lateral tilting should be prevented by fixation of the device in a single-arm holder. A total of 21 patients (male/female ratio: 2:1) with a mean age of 62 (range: 38-86) years underwent 30 consecutive MDN-PIPACs for peritoneal surface malignancies of different origin. ECOG 0 and 1 were seen in five and 16 patients, respectively. Thirteen, seven and one patient underwent one, two and three MDN-PIPACs, respectively. Two patients received only one cycle of MDN-PIPAC because they were considered candidates for cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. There were no intraoperative technical/medical problems observed. Four patients suffered from postoperative grade I complications.\u0000Conclusions: Compounds leached during chemotherapy nebulization with the MDN are toxicologically safe. MDN-PIPAC administration is safe and the postoperative course comparable to that of the conventional PIPAC nebulizer.","PeriodicalId":501051,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Surgery","volume":" 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138493434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
