Current trends in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring among Asia-Pacific countries: an Asia-Pacific Spine Society survey.

Study Design: A prospective web-based survey.

Purpose: Although intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is critical in spine surgery, its usage is largely based on the surgeon's discretion, and studies on its usage trends in Asia-Pacific countries are lacking. This study aimed to examine current trends in IONM usage in Asia-Pacific countries.

Total Elbow Arthroplasty as the Treatment of Choice for a Young Man with Neglected Terrible Triad of the Elbow Joint and Schizophrenia: A Case Report.

TIMP2 and IGFBP-7 as Biomarkers For The Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Post-operative Patients: An Evidence-Based Case Report.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden reduction in kidney function which commonly occurs as a complication of major surgeries. It is traditionally diagnosed using serum creatinine elevation. AKI has relatively slow kinetics that makes it unable to diagnose at an earlier more reversible stage.

Clinicopathological and Prognostic Significance of Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 39 Overexpression in solid Cancers: A Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between USP39 expression, the prognosis of patients with solid cancer, and to identify the clinicopathological characteristics of these patients.

Material And Method: This study was carried out using PRISMA strategy. Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Ebsco, Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched for relevant studies published up to April 2022.

Pedicle Screw Fixation for Hemiplegia and Bilateral Hypoesthesia Due to C2-C3 Spinal Fracture Dislocation: A Case Report.

Case: A 48-year-old man fell from a tree and presented to the emergency department with right-sided full hemiplegia and C3 bilateral hypoesthesia. Imaging was remarkable for a C2-C3 fracture-dislocation. The patient was effectively managed surgically with a posterior decompression and 4-level posterior cervical fixation/fusion that included pedicle screws in the axis fixation and lateral mass screws.
