A Rare Case of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Secondary to C4-C5 and T12 Dural Tears Following a Yoga Class.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a potentially debilitating condition caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage through dural tears, leaking meningeal diverticula, or CSF-venous fistulae. This case report describes two yoga-induced dural tears leading to spontaneous SIH. Diagnosing SIH due to dural tears and CSF leaks can be challenging, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aids in confirmation.

Augmented Reality in Interventional Radiology: Transforming Training Paradigms.

The ascent of medical technology places augmented reality (AR) at the forefront of potential advancements in interventional radiology (IR) training. This review delves into the symbiotic relationship between AR and conventional IR training, casting light on the opportunities and hurdles intrinsic to this integration. A targeted literature review was conducted using the databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase.

Patient perspective on the use of carbon fibre plates for extremity fracture fixation.

Introduction: Carbon fibre-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) plates represent an exciting development within trauma and orthopaedic surgery, offering advantages including radiolucency, material properties similar to bone, and lack of localised tissue reaction. As more call for trials examining their use, there is no data available as to the acceptability of these implants to patients. This study aimed to therefore examine the acceptability of CFR-PEEK plates to patients undergoing fracture surgery.
