CONCLUSION: This imaging modality can provide object perfusion data of the nidus of injury, surrounding penumbra and healthy neural tissue in a traumatized spinal cord. Investigation in its use in humans is ongoing and remains promising to be an effective diagnostic and prognostic tool for those suffering from spinal cord injury.

Single-cell transcriptomics has unveiled a vast landscape of cellular heterogeneity in which the cell cycle is a significant component. We trained a high-resolution cell cycle classifier (ccAFv2) using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) characterized human neural stem cells. The ccAFv2 classifies six cell cycle states (G1, Late G1, S, S/G2, G2/M, and M/Early G1) and a quiescent-like G0 state, and it incorporates a tunable parameter to filter out less certain classifications. The ccAFv2 classifier...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder that results in multiple bouts of intermittent hypoxia. OSA has many neurological and systemic comorbidities, including dysphagia, or disordered swallow, and discoordination with breathing. However, the mechanism in which chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) causes dysphagia is unknown. Recently, we showed the postinspiratory complex (PiCo) acts as an interface between the swallow pattern generator (SPG) and the...

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that Hispanic patients with IA are more likely to have a poor outcome at 90 days after endovascular treatment or MST than White patients. Physicians have to pay attention to the selection of treatment modalities, especially for Hispanic patients with specific factors to reduce racial discrepancies.

CONCLUSIONS: We differentiated 3 neurobehavioral symptom profiles among persons with chronic TBI and determined differences in sociodemographic factors between the groups. Future research should focus on validating these profiles in another sample of individuals with chronic TBI. Characterizing persons according to multidimensional symptom profiles could allow for more tailored approaches to predict and prevent long-term negative outcomes.

Diffuse gliomas are epigenetically dysregulated, immunologically cold, and fatal tumors characterized by mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). Although IDH mutations yield a uniquely immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, the regulatory mechanisms that drive the immune landscape of IDH mutant (IDHm) gliomas remain unknown. Here, we reveal that transcriptional repression of retinoic acid (RA) pathway signaling impairs both innate and adaptive immune surveillance in IDHm glioma through...

United States (US) Special Operations Forces (SOF) are frequently exposed to explosive blasts in training and combat, but the effects of repeated blast exposure (RBE) on SOF brain health are incompletely understood. Furthermore, there is no diagnostic test to detect brain injury from RBE. As a result, SOF personnel may experience cognitive, physical, and psychological symptoms for which the cause is never identified, and they may return to training or combat during a period of brain...

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains an untreatable malignant tumor with poor patient outcomes, characterized by palisading necrosis and microvascular proliferation. While single-cell technology made it possible to characterize different lineage of glioma cells into neural progenitor-like (NPC-like), oligodendrocyte-progenitor-like (OPC-like), astrocyte-like (AC-like) and mesenchymal like (MES-like) states, it does not capture the spatial localization of these tumor cell states. Spatial transcriptomics...

CONCLUSION: MOUD group had lower risk of non-fatal opioid overdose immediately after jail release. Wider implementation of MOUD in US jails could potentially reduce post-release overdoses, ED utilization, and associated healthcare costs.

Grade IV glioma, formerly known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal type of brain tumor, and its treatment remains challenging in part due to extensive interpatient heterogeneity in disease driving mechanisms and lack of prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Using mechanistic inference of node-edge relationship (MINER), we have analyzed multiomics profiles from 516 patients and constructed an atlas of causal and mechanistic drivers of interpatient heterogeneity in...

CONCLUSION: mmSYGNAL provides improved individualized risk stratification that accounts for a patient's distinct set of genetic abnormalities and can monitor risk longitudinally as each patient's disease characteristics change.

Retrospective cohort study. Level of Evidence Level III. Dural tears (DT) are a frequent complication after lumbar spine surgery. With this study we sought to determine the incidence of DT and the related impact on healthcare expenditures after lumbar discectomies. All patients with first-time single level lumbar discectomies at our institution that underwent minimally-invasive surgery from 2015 to 2019 were reviewed. Age, sex, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), costs, revenues, length of...

The incidence of human illness due to Salmonella Infantis reported to Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network and the prevalence of Infantis on chicken carcasses reported by the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service have increased significantly in the past decade. However, the trends do not appear coincident, as would be expected if the increased prevalence in chicken led to the increase in the incidence of human illness. Salmonella Infantis incidence...

Spontaneous CSF leaks frequently cause headaches, meningismus, and nausea due to intracranial hypotension. When conservative treatment fails, surgical repair is indicated. Especially ventral leaks necessitate invasive approaches with substantial blood loss and tissue trauma. Full endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) enables circumferential access via the transforaminal approach. Here, the authors show the successful repair of a ventral CSF leak in the thoracic spine after removal of bony osteophytes...

The patient is a 22-year-old male with a history of C1 avulsion fracture causing vertebral artery compression with pseudoaneurysm and symptomatic stroke. Cerebral angiography demonstrated dynamic compression of the V3 segment of the vertebral artery due to a chronic C1 avulsion fracture. The authors utilized a full endoscopic approach with intraoperative angiography for proximal control and Doppler ultrasound to confirm adequate decompression. The surgery duration was 3 hours with blood loss < 5...

Synovial spinal cysts cause radiculopathy and back pain, with rare reports of cauda equina syndrome. Hypermobility and instability are cornerstones for synovial cyst formation. The incidence is around 5%, and data for bilateral cysts are lacking. Surgery is indicated after conservative measures fail. Recurrence is common and is potentially due to joint violation and destabilization from open surgery. This could be prevented via ultra-minimally invasive approaches. The authors present full...
