Background: Percutaneous rhizotomy of the Gasserian ganglion is a well-established intervention for patients suffering from refractory trigeminal pain, not amenable to pharmacological management or microvascular decompression. Traditionally conducted under fluoroscopic guidance using Hartel's technique, this study investigates a modified approach employing low-dose CT guidance to achieve maximal procedural precision and safety with the emphasis on minimizing radiation exposure.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing percutaneous rhizotomy of the Gasserian ganglion at our institution was undertaken.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections (SSI) are common complications after cranioplasty, but porous polyethylene (PE) is believed to have a low infection rate, although data is limited.
- A study evaluated 30 patients with high risk for SSI who underwent 3D personalized PE cranioplasty from 2014-2023, monitoring infection rates, implant issues, and cosmetic outcomes.
- Results showed no infections or implant exposure, and patients reported high satisfaction with cosmetic results, emphasizing the need for larger studies to confirm findings.
Carabids are considered beneficial arthropods in agroecosystems, where they prey on crop pests or consume weed seeds. Therefore, knowledge of the spatial distribution of carabids in agricultural landscapes is crucial to efficiently manage the ecosystem services that they provide. In the present study, we investigated the spatial distribution of carabids around arable field-woodlot boundaries in different seasons: (1) early spring, (2) late spring, (3) summer and (4) late autumn.
