Scai Shock Stage Classification: What Is Missing From The Latest Update?, Biykem Bozkurt

Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics

The revised Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions classifications reflect graduation of severity within each stage and pathway by which patients progress or recover. However, they are limited regarding the following: their predictive role to guide therapy; escalation of therapy or referral; variability in diagnostic criteria and interpretation; presence of other disease modifiers and confounders; variability of etiology and reversibility of cause; response to therapy and trajectory to be taken into risk stratification; magnitude and phenotypes of end-organ damage. Thus, we need a modified risk score to predict the necessity to escalate therapy and consider advanced therapies, such as mechanical …

PURPOSE: Studies have shown that bracing is an effective treatment for patients with idiopathic scoliosis. According to the current classification, almost all braces fall in the thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) category. Consequently, the generalization of scientific results is either impossible or misleading. This study aims to produce a classification of the brace types.

METHODS: Four scientific societies (SOSORT, SRS, ISPO, and POSNA) invited all their members to be part of the study. Six level 1 experts developed the initial classifications. At a consensus meeting with 26 other experts and societies' officials, thematic analysis and general discussion allowed to define the classification …

Innovations In Cervical Spine Trauma: Developing The Next Generation Upper Cervical Spine Injury Classification System, Brian A Karamian, Hannah Levy, Paul D. Minetos, Michael L. Smith, Alex R. Vaccaro

Rothman Institute Faculty Papers

The upper cervical spine not only consists of intricate bony and ligamentous anatomy affording unique flexibility but also has increased susceptibility to injuries. The upper cervical spine trauma can result in a wide spectrum of injuries that can be managed both operatively and nonoperatively. Several existing classification systems have been proposed to describe injuries of the upper cervical spine, many of which rely on anatomic descriptions of injury location. Prior fracture classifications are limited in scope, characterizing fractures restricted to a single region of the upper cervical spine, and fail to provide insight into injury management. The AO Spine Upper …

Uncertainty Estimation In Classification Of Mgnt Using Radiogenomics For Glioblastoma Patients, W. Farzana, Z. A. Shboul, A. Temtam, K. M. Iftekharuddin

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is one of the most malignant brain tumors among all high-grade brain cancers. Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen for glioblastoma patients. The methylation status of the O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) gene is a prognostic biomarker for tumor sensitivity to TMZ chemotherapy. However, the standardized procedure for assessing the methylation status of MGMT is an invasive surgical biopsy, and accuracy is susceptible to resection sample and heterogeneity of the tumor. Recently, radio-genomics which associates radiological image phenotype with genetic or molecular mutations has shown promise in the non-invasive assessment of radiotherapeutic treatment. This study proposes a machine-learning framework …
