Objective: To observe interdepartmental variation in the availability of resources and academic activities within the various neurosurgery programs of Pakistan.
Methods: This was a proforma-based survey of neurosurgery trainees and young neurosurgeons of Pakistan, looking at the academic infrastructure and output of their programs. The proforma was filled by 36 respondents from 11 neurosurgery centers of the country. All these centers were accredited for neurosurgery training in Pakistan.
Results: Out of the 36 respondents, 30 were completing a Fellowship training (FCPS) and six were enrolled for a Master in Surgery (MS) program. About 80% of the participants used the Youman's …

Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea: An Institutional Perspective From Pakistan, Muhammad Zubair Tahir, Muhammad Babar Khan, Muhammad Umair Bashir, Shabbir Akhtar, Muhammad Ehsan Bari
Section of Neurosurgery
Background:The management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea has evolved over the last two decades. We present here a review of our 11-year data on CSF rhinorrhea and its management at a tertiary care hospital in a developing country, with particular reference to the diagnosis, surgical management and outcome of the disease.
Methods: The medical charts of all Patients with a diagnosis of CSF rhinorrhea over an 11-year period were reviewed. The etiology of CSF rhinorrhea was classified into three categories: spontaneous, iatrogenic and traumatic. All the Patients were divided into three categories based on the type of management as …

Jean-Martin Charcot - Neurologist By Avocation, Nephrologist By Yearning, Gary Eknoyan
Houston History of Medicine Lectures
In an age of medical advances and specialization, Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) helped found the discipline of neurology and in 1882 was appointed the first professor of Diseases of the Nervous System in France. As an investigator with broad interests and vast knowledge Charcot contributed to several other disciplines. An early mentor and dominant figure in Charcot's formative years was Pierre Rayer (1793-1867), famous for his seminal contributions to the study of the kidney, who gifted Charcot with his passion for clinical pathological correlations and likely a yearning for the study of kidney diseases. Famous for the clarity and incisiveness of …

Variations In Practice Patterns Among Neurosurgeons And Orthopaedic Surgeons In The Management Of Spinal Disorders, Manzar Hussain, Sadaf Nasir, Amber Moed, Ghulam Murtaza
Section of Neurosurgery
Study design: This is a case series.
Purpose: We wanted to identify variations in the practice patterns among neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons for the management of spinal disorders.
Overview of literature: Spinal disorders are common in the clinical practice of both neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons. It has been observed that despite the availability of various guidelines, there is lack of consensus among surgeons about the management of various disorders.
Methods: A questionnaire was distributed, either directly or via e-mail, to the both the neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons who worked at 5 tertiary care centers within a single region of Korea. …

Non-Operative Management Is Superior To Surgical Stabilization In Spine Injury Patients With Complete Neurological Deficits: A Perspective Study From A Developing World Country, Pakistan, Muhammad Shahzad Shamim, Syed Faizan Ali, Ather Enam
Section of Neurosurgery
Background: Surgical stabilization of injured spine in Patients with complete spinal cord injury is a common practice despite the lack of strong evidence supporting it. The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of surgical stabilization versus conservative management of spinal injury in Patients with complete deficits, essentially from a developing country's point of view.
Methods: A detailed analysis of Patients with traumatic spine injury and complete deficits admitted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Pakistan, from January 2004 till January 2010 was carried out. All Patients presenting within 14 days of injury were divided in …

What Are The Implications Of Accountable Care Organizations For Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation Practices?, John L. Melvin, Greg Worsowicz
What Are The Implications Of Accountable Care Organizations For Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation Practices?, John L. Melvin, Greg Worsowicz
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine Faculty Papers
The goal of delivering quality health care at a lower overall cost through accountable care organizations (ACO) as described as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) has gained momentum among payers, providers, and the public. The concept includes developing an organization that provides incentives for quality care while lowering the overall cost of the care. If the goals are met, then both providers and payers would be able to share in the financial savings produced by the lower health care costs achieved while improving the quality of care delivered. The Centers for Medicare and …

Fungal vertebral osteomyelitis (FVO) is an uncommon but aggressive disease that may cause spinal instability, neurological insult, and possible death. Little data about treatment strategies and patient outcomes exist. A retrospective review of medical and surgical management with follow-up of this disease was performed.

Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques to the spine have focused mainly on the lumbar region. Many reports exist on the ability to decompress the neural structures in the lumbar and thoracic spine both via an anterior and posterior approach. Familiarity with these techniques now allows one or two level interbody and pedicle fusions, and treatment of trauma through MIS approaches. Controversy exists as to the efficacy of these techniques because direct studies comparing MIS approaches with open techniques are lacking. However, proponents of these techniques site smaller incision, less muscle retraction, less blood loss, shorter length of stay and better …

A traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a common neurosurgical pathology that affects about 20 of 100,000 people every year with a mortality of at least 40%. However, a specific etiology, cannot be identified in about 30% of spontaneous ICH. Here, we present a rare case of ICH related to a patient's previously undiagnosed cryoglobinemia.

JHN Journal
Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a rare but serious event that may occur after spinal surgery. Vascular endothelial damage during surgery and immobilization of the patient after surgery contribute to a higher risk of thrombosis and subsequent PE. Prophylaxis including intermittent pneumatic compression stockings, heparin, and other interventions is often employed by the treatment team to lower the risk of thromboembolic complications. In orthopedic, trauma, burn and other high-risk surgical patients, the incidence of PE has been thoroughly studied, and this knowledge has been used to establish prophylaxis guidelines specifically for these patients. The incidence of PE in spinal fusion patients, …

JHN Journal
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite the current regimen of surgical resection with subsequent external beam radiotherapy and temozolomide, mean survival is 14.6 months and 2-year survival is 26%. GBM is a highly vascular tumor, a result of its increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) compared to other brain tumors. VEGF promotes endothelial cell proliferation, and is thought to have a pivotal role during tumor progression. Multiple treatment modalities have targeted VEGF and VEGF receptors (VEGFTs) due to their essential roles in the regulation of angiogenic processes. Bevacizumab is a …

HIV-associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a well-documented phenomenon, typically occurring at seroconversion. GBS may result in functional impairment treated with a combination of medications, plasmapheresis, and rehabilitation. The quantified functional recovery of HIV-associated GBS with or without HIV treatment is not well-described. Utilizing serial FIM scoring, we describe a patient’s recovery from HIV-associated GBS after treatment with IVIg and acute inpatient rehabilitation without HIV treatment.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors for, and the association with in-hospital mortality of, AMI after AIS, and to study the effect of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) in this setting. We hypothesized that AMI would be associated with lower survival rate at hospital discharge but that intravenous r-tPA would be associated with lower risk of AMI.
