Venous thromboembolism and anticoagulation in spinal cord lesion rehabilitation inpatients: A 10-year retrospective study.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a concern following the onset of spinal cord lesions (SCL).

Objectives: To assess the current efficacy and risks of anticoagulation after SCL and consider changes in thromboprophylaxis.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included individuals admitted to inpatient rehabilitation within 3 months of SCL onset.

Pfizer/BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as a potential trigger for the development of narcolepsy: a case report.

Unlabelled: Narcolepsy is a rare condition in Israel. Currently, the incidence of narcolepsy following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in Israel is unknown. We are reporting a case report of a 51-year-old woman of Ashkenazi Jewish descent who was evaluated for complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness and relative functional decline that immediately followed receipt of the Pfizer/BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.

Artificial neural networks can be effectively used to model changes of intracranial pressure (ICP) during spinal surgery using different noninvasive ICP surrogate estimators.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques play a major role in anesthesiology, even though their importance is often overlooked. In the extant literature, AI approaches, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), have been underutilized, being used mainly to model patient's consciousness state, to predict the precise number of anesthetic gases, the level of analgesia, or the need of anesthesiological blocks, among others. In the field of neurosurgery, ANNs have been effectively applied to the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebral tumors, seizures, low back pain, and also to the monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP).
