Differences in the Demographics and Clinical Characteristics between the Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament and Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum in Patients Who Underwent Thoracic Spinal Surgery for Compressive Myelopathy
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2023-0137. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOssification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) are related diseases associated with the ossification of spinal ligaments that can occasionally lead to thoracic myelopathy. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 34 consecutive patients who underwent thoracic spinal surgeries for OPLL and/or OLF at our hospital between July 2010 and June 2022, and statistically compared data between patients with thoracic OPLL (TOPLL; n = 12) and those with thoracic OLF (TOL...

Clinical Significance of Carotid Endarterectomy and Carotid Artery Stenting in Older Patients Over 80
This study included older over 80 years (n = 34) and younger patients (<80 years; n = 222) who underwent CEA or CAS between 2012 and 2022. All of them were followed up for a mean of 55 months. All-cause mortality, the incidence of vascular events, ability to perform daily activities, and nursing home admission rates were assessed. During follow-up periods, 34 patients (13.3%) died due to coronary artery disease, malignancy, and pneumonia, and the incidence was significantly higher in the elderly group than in the younger group (P = 0.03; HR, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.53-5.56). The incidence of vascular events did not differ betwe...

Temporal Muscle Swelling after Clipping Surgery with Frontotemporal Craniotomy Is Associated with Immediate Postcraniotomy Headache
This study aimed to identify the factors associated with immediate postcraniotomy headache in patients who underwent clipping surgery with frontotemporal craniotomy and to examine the effects of these factors on postcraniotomy headache. A total of 51 patients were included in this study. Immediate postcraniotomy headache was defined as pain with numerical rating scale score ≥4 on postoperative day 7. Sixteen patients (31.4%) had immediate postcraniotomy headache. The headache-positive group had a higher incidence of preoperative analgesic use (50.0% vs. 5.7%, respectively, p < 0.001), increased temporal muscle swellin...

Outcomes and Prognostic Factors of Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Essential Tremor at 2-year Follow-up
In conclusion, MRgFUS is effective even after 2 years. The higher the T-max and the larger the lesion size, the better the tremor control. Previously reported cutoff values clearly predict the 2-year prognosis, indicating the usefulness of MRgFUS.PMID:38355128 | DOI:10.2176/jns-nmc.2023-0202 (Source: Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica)

Reconsideration of Surgical Indication for Prolactin-producing Pituitary Tumor Focusing on Visual Impairment
In this study, we examined our experience with the pharmacological and surgical management of PRLomas with visual impairment (VI) to determine whether VI could be a surgical indication. Further, we discussed the function of surgery in situations where the gold standard of PRLoma treatment was CAB administration. Of the 159 patients with PRLomas (age, 13-77 [mean = 36.3] years; men, 29; women, 130) at Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital from 2009 to 2021, 18 (age, 15-67 [mean = 35.8] years; men, 12; woman, 6) had VI (subjectively, 12; objectively, 6). They started CAB treatment immediately (maximum dose: 0.5 to 6 mg/w...

Statistical Analysis of the Factors that Affect Postoperative Length of Hospital Stay after Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment in Japan: A 20-year Nationwide Multicenter Study
In this study, we aim to clarify the factors that affect the LOS of patients treated for UIAs using the Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Database of the Rosai Hospital Group (ICOD-R). This was a nationwide-multicenter study based on ICOD-R data from 2000 to 2019. Patients diagnosed with UIAs who were treated with clipping or coiling were included in the study. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting LOS. LOS was also compared between groups classified by surgical procedure or treatment period. We identified 3294 patients on the database who underwent clipping or coiling of UIAs during the study ...
