Intraoperative angio proves worth for brain surgery
Results from a decade-long study at the National Brain Aneurysm Center in St. Paul, MN, indicate that angiography to monitor intracranial brain aneurysm clip placement is safe and has altered management in more than one of 10 cases.
Results from a decade-long study at the National Brain Aneurysm Center in St. Paul, MN, indicate that angiography to monitor intracranial brain aneurysm clip placement is safe and has altered management in more than one of 10 cases.
NBAC chair Dr. Eric Nussbaum and his colleagues reviewed 1025 cases performed at this institution between 1997 and 2006. They found that angio led to clip repositioning or additional clip placement in 96 (9.3%) patients and helped detect hidden vascular disease in 30 (2.9%) additional cases. Nussbaum discussed the findings at the 2008 American Association of Neurological Surgeons meeting in Chicago.
"Intraoperative angiography did not add a significant amount of time and did not have any significant complications," he said.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
MRI Research Suggests Link Between COVID-19 Related Brain Fog and Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction
February 23rd 2024For people with COVID-19 related brain fog, emerging dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) research findings revealed blood-brain barrier disruption in multiple brain regions, including temporal lobes and the frontal cortex, up to a year after active infection.
