Tau PET has attracted increasing interest as an imaging biomarker for 4-repeat (4R)-tauopathy progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). However, the translation of in vitro 4R-tau binding to in vivo tau PET signals is still unclear. Therefore, we performed a translational study using a broad spectrum of advanced methodologies to investigate the sources of [F]PI-2620 tau PET signals in individuals with 4R-tauopathies, including a pilot PET autopsy study in patients.

This study aims to estimate real-world clinical practice trends in time to surgery following thoracolumbar spinal cord injury (SCI) in trauma centers across North America over the last decade (2010-2020). A multi-center retrospective observational study was conducted using Trauma Quality Improvement Program data from 2010 to 2020. All surgically treated patients with thoracic and lumbar SCI were included.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzes the time to surgery for patients with complete traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries in North America from 2010 to 2020, using data from trauma centers and focusing on the period post-hospital arrival.
  • Over the decade, the median time to spine surgery decreased by an average of 0.6 hours per year, indicating a trend towards quicker surgical intervention.
  • The research involved 6855 patients and showed a significant annual reduction of 5% in time to surgery, emphasizing the improvement in response time across accredited trauma centers.
