Time-frequency analysis reveals an association between the specific nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal properties of serum samples and arteriosclerotic lesion progression in a diabetes mouse model.

Diabetes causes arteriosclerosis, primarily due to persistent hyperglycemia, subsequently leading to various cardiovascular events. No method has been established for directly detecting and evaluating arteriosclerotic lesions from blood samples of diabetic patients, as the mechanism of arteriosclerotic lesion formation, which involves complex molecular biological processes, has not been elucidated. "NMR modal analysis" is a technology that enables visualization of specific nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal properties of blood samples.

Acoustic Neurinoma with Synchronous Ipsilateral Cerebellopontine Angle Lipoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Lipomas of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and internal auditory canal (IAC) are relatively rare tumors. Acoustic neurinoma is the most common tumor in this location, which often causes hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. Occasionally, this tumor compresses the brainstem, prompting surgical resection.

[A Case of Guyon's Canal Syndrome Associated with Cubital Tunnel Syndrome].

A 51-year-old man had a 1-year history of numbness on the ulnar side of the 4th finger, the 5th finger, and the ulnar side of the forearm, and weakness of the right hand. The Spurling sign was negative, and cervical radiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed no abnormality. The Tinel-like signs at the Guyon's canal and cubital tunnel were positive.

Preliminary Clinical Microneurosurgical Experience With the 4K3-Dimensional Microvideoscope (ORBEYE) System for Microneurological Surgery: Observation Study.

Background: The exoscope has been reported as a novel neurosurgical instrumentation in clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the possibility that ORBEYE (OE), a novel instrument that excludes eyepiece lenses and allows for microsurgery by observation of the 4K3D monitor, could replace microscopes.

Methods: We report 22 clinical cases by 5 experienced neurosurgeons and the comparative results of training 10 residents.

Spinal Cavernous Angioma Associated with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a rare congenital vascular disorder characterized by the classic triad of cutaneous nevi, venous varicosities, and osseous and soft tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb. Various vascular anomalies of the central nervous system have also been described in patients with KTWS. The English language literature to date contains 6 reports of associations between KTWS and spinal cord cavernous angioma (CA), but management of these patients has not been well described.
