In the first group, normal DuraGen® samples without antibiotic impregnation and in the second group, DuraGen® samples with antibiotic impregnation (30 mg vancomycin) were used. Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228) were selected for this study. Antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated by counting the number of colonies on and by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone around the samples.Results: There was no zone diameter around the normal DuraGen® for the 2 types of bacteria. There was significant bacterial growth (10 (5)) according to the colony count. For antibiotic-impregnated DuraGen®, there was a zone with a mean diameter of 32 mm in the agar with S. aureus and a zone with a mean diameter of 35 mm in the agar with S. epidermidis. Antibiotic-impregnated DuraGen® was quite effective against both microorganisms and there was no bacterial growth according to the bacterial colony count.Conclusions: In our in vitro study, antibiotic-impregnated DuraGen® material significantly inhibited microorganism growth. Our results show that antibiotic-impregnated DuraGen® has the potential to prevent infection.","PeriodicalId":51241,"journal":{"name":"Central European Neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0030-1267246","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29691970","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}

Some patients may search for non-scientific or unconventional therapeutic options to treat the symptoms induced by the tumor itself or arising from treatment. The extent of non-scientific therapy use, the rationale behind it, and costs of these forms of therapy are unknown.Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions was sent to 60 patients of a single neurosurgical center who had undergone surgery for an intramedullary spinal cord tumor. A retrospective study was carried out based on this data. Histological findings ranged from ependymoma (52.9%), hemangioblastoma (17.6%), cavernoma (14.7%), astrocytoma (8.8%), oligodendroglioma (2.9%) to ganglioglioma (2.9%). Non-scientific therapy was defined as a method not used in routine clinical practice for the treatment of symptoms induced by intramedullary spinal cord tumors.Results: A total of 38 questionnaires was returned. About 55.3% of the patients claimed to use non-scientific therapies. No significant difference between histological types and the percentage of alternative therapy use was detected. There was a gender difference. One third (non user group) to one fourth (user group) did not feel adequately informed about their disease. The monthly costs for non-scientific therapies ranged from 50 to 500 Euros. The main motive for the use of non-scientific therapies was the wish to try everything possible.Conclusion: In the daily clinical routine, patients' use of non-scientific therapies may be largely overlooked and underestimated. Neurooncologists should be aware of this phenomenon and encourage an open but critical dialogue with their patients.","PeriodicalId":51241,"journal":{"name":"Central European Neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0030-1252009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29011425","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}

ALA-induced Porphyrin Accumulation in Medulloblastoma ... Cen Eur Neurosurg 2011; 72: 101 – 104 Introduction ▼ Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Most children with this disease are treated in controlled studies to improve survival and advance cure rates [6] . The current treatment includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Depending on the classifi cation into standardrisk (age ≥ 4 years, non-metastatic disease, and complete or almost complete tumor resection) and high-risk patients, the treatment options diff er, ranging from postoperative chemotherapy alone [18] , to postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to stem cell therapy in the case of recurrence [5] . According to the classifi cation, maximum cytoreductive surgery appears to be essential for the effi cacy of adjuvant treatment. All controlled studies so far have aimed at optimizing adjuvant therapies, i. e., chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but to our knowledge none have been devoted to improving surgery. We report the fi rst operation performed with fl uorescence guidance using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for the resection of medulloblastoma to avoid incomplete tumor resection as a favorable basis for adjuvant therapy [11] .","PeriodicalId":51241,"journal":{"name":"Central European Neurosurgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0030-1252010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29337987","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}

Delayed Diagnosis of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage ... Cen Eur Neurosurg 2011; 72: 49 – 51 Delayed Diagnosis of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Associated with Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy Discussion & Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a recently described acute cardiac syndrome characterized by transient systolic dysfunction. Main criteria for tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy are: a) transient apical and midventricular dyskinesis that extends beyond the distribution of a single coronary artery; b) the absence of signifi cant coronary artery disease or acute plaque rupture on coronary angiography; and c) electrocardiographic evidence of new ST elevation or T-wave inversion. The cause of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is unknown, but most cases seem to be related to emotional (33 – 45 % ) and / or physical stress (17 – 22 % ) [10] . There is a strong predominance of postmenopausal women [3] .
