Surgical Management Of Fungal Vertebral Osteomyelitis, Benjamin M. Zussman, Bs, David L. Penn, Ms, James S. Harrop, Md Nov 2011

Surgical Management Of Fungal Vertebral Osteomyelitis, Benjamin M. Zussman, Bs, David L. Penn, Ms, James S. Harrop, Md

JHN Journal

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.


Mis Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Five-Level Fusion Through A Novel Cervical Tube, Ashwini Sharan Md, Mitchell A. Hardenbrook, Md, John K. Ratliff Md, James Harrop, Md Nov 2011

Mis Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Five-Level Fusion Through A Novel Cervical Tube, Ashwini Sharan Md, Mitchell A. Hardenbrook, Md, John K. Ratliff Md, James Harrop, Md

JHN Journal

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 …


Case Report On Intracranial Hemorrhage Related To Type I Cryoglobulinemia, Richard Dalyai, Md, L. Fernando Gonzalez, Md Nov 2011

Case Report On Intracranial Hemorrhage Related To Type I Cryoglobulinemia, Richard Dalyai, Md, L. Fernando Gonzalez, Md

JHN Journal

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.


On The Incidence Of Pulmonary Embolism In Spinal Arthrodesis And The Need For Better Evidence And Prevention Guidelines, Zachary J. Senders, Bs, Benjamin Zussman, Bs, James S. Harrop, Md Nov 2011

On The Incidence Of Pulmonary Embolism In Spinal Arthrodesis And The Need For Better Evidence And Prevention Guidelines, Zachary J. Senders, Bs, Benjamin Zussman, Bs, James S. Harrop, Md

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, …


Bevacizumab: A Controversial Agent Against High-Grade Gliomas, Sussan Salas, Md, Miguel Guzman, Md, Kevin Judy, Md Nov 2011

Bevacizumab: A Controversial Agent Against High-Grade Gliomas, Sussan Salas, Md, Miguel Guzman, Md, Kevin Judy, Md

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 …
