Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how blood glucose levels around the time of spine surgery can impact complications and outcomes, particularly in patients with traumatic spine injuries.
- Results showed that patients with blood glucose levels of 200 mg/dL or higher had significantly higher risks for respiratory issues, skin complications, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality.
- However, despite these higher risks, elevated blood glucose did not correlate with any improvement in neurological recovery following surgery based on the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale.
Provoked vulvodynia (PV) is characterized by localized chronic vulvar pain. It is associated with a history of recurrent inflammation, mast cell (MC) accumulation and neuronal sprouting in the vulva. However, the mechanism of how vulvar-inflammation promotes neuronal sprouting and gene-expression adaptation in the spinal cord, leading to hypersensitivity and painful sensations, is unknown.
