- There is ongoing debate about whether chronic low back pain could be linked to the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), prompting a study to analyze this relationship in surgical disc samples from patients undergoing microdiscectomy.
- The study involved 23 patients and utilized various methods (culture, Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing, and qPCR) to detect C. acnes, finding it in only 21.7% of samples.
- Results indicate that the more sensitive methods (NGS and qPCR) detected only minimal traces of C. acnes, with no significant links to clinical factors such as Modic changes, suggesting any detected C. acnes likely resulted from skin contamination rather than a true infection contributing
Objectives: Since the introduction of endovascular treatment for cerebral aneurysms, hospitals in which subarachnoid hemorrhage is treated show different availability and/or preferences towards both treatment modalities. The main aim is to evaluate the clinical and angiographic results according to the hospital's treatment preferences applied.
Methods: This study was conducted based on use of the subarachnoid hemorrhage database of the Vascular Pathology Group of the Spanish Neurosurgery Society.
Introduction: The neurovascular conflict is now considered an unquestionable dogma in the pathophysiology of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN). However, there are more and more papers that provide information about other factors that promote such conflict or neuralgia itself. AIMS.
