Risk Factors for Recanalization after Coil Embolization.

Unlabelled: The aim of our study was to identify risk factors for recanalization 6 months after coil embolization using clinical data followed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.

Methods: Firstly, clinical data of 184 patients treated with coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. Secondly, aneurysm models for high/low recanalization risk were generated based on ROC curves and their cut-off points.

The Role of Urine F2-ISOPROSTANE CONcentration in Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage-A Poor Prognostic Factor.

The pathophysiology of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remains unclear. One of the hypotheses suggests that reactive oxygen species play a role in its onset. Thus, we studied F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs)-oxidative stress biomarkers.

Predictors for ophthalmic segment aneurysms recanalization after coiling and flow diverter embolization in 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms are indication for endovascular treatment. Coil embolization is associated with a high recanalization rate and thus usage of flow diverter (FD) could constitute the treatment of choice. Although implementation of FD is very effective, it carries a significant risk of complications.

Intracerebral electroencephalography in targeting anterior thalamic nucleus for deep brain stimulation in refractory epilepsy.

Background: Results of DBS of ATN in refractory epilepsy depend on accuracy of the electrode's location. We searched for characteristic intraoperative, intracerebral EEG recording pattern from anterior thalamic nuclei (ATNs) as a biological marker for verifying the electrode's position.

Methods: There were six patients with refractory epilepsy scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure.

Value of oxyneurography, based on near infrared spectroscopy, in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome in comparison to provocative clinical diagnostic tests and nerve conduction studies.

Objective: Evaluation of the diagnostic utility of the oxyneurography (ONG) in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: ONG examination of the median nerve was performed in 260 patients. The results were compared with nerve conduction studies and clinical provocative tests.

Intracranial video-EEG monitoring in presurgical evaluation of patients with refractory epilepsy.

Objective: Reviewing our experience in intracranial video-EEG monitoring in the presurgical evaluation of patients with refractory epilepsy.

Methods: We report on 62 out of 202 (31%) patients with refractory epilepsy, who underwent a long term video-EEG monitoring (LTM). The epileptogenic zone (EZ) was localised either based on the results of LTM or after intracranial EEG recordings from depth, subdural or foramen ovale electrodes.

Optimal time of duration of a long-term video-EEG monitoring in paroxysmal events - A retrospective analysis of 282 sessions in 202 patients.

Purpose: To find the optimal duration of the long-term video-EEG (LTM) and assess diagnostics utility of LTM in patients with epilepsy and other paroxysmal events in terms of future diagnosis and management.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 282 LTMs performed in the last 5 years in our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), in 202 consecutive patients. The analysis included demographic data, monitoring time, number and type of paroxysmal events, the time until their onset, influence of LTM result on the diagnosis and future management.
