Anatomical Justification of Extradural Resection of the Anterior Clinoid Process.

 The study aimed to provide neuroanatomical justification of the extradural resection of the anterior clinoid process (ACP).  Using a cross-sectional study design, 47 cranial computed tomography (CT) scans were examined. There were 31 (65.

Individual Navigation Templates for Subcortical Screw Placement in Lumbar Spine.

Unlabelled: Subcortical screw placement is currently performed using frontal view fluoroscopy or intraoperative O-arm navigation system. The emergence of a novel technique for spinal navigation based on individual navigation templates created using 3D printing technology determines the need to study their safety and effectiveness in subcortical implantation. was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of subcortical implantation of pedicle screws in the lumbar spine using individual navigation templates versus intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Evaluation of awareness about primary immunodeficiencies among physicians before and after implementation of the educational program: A longitudinal study.

Increasing physicians' awareness is one of the main ways to improve early diagnosis of rare diseases. A survey among physicians of different specialties to evaluate the knowledge about primary immunodeficiencies (PID) was conducted in 2016 and in 2019 -before and after the implementation of an educational program. We compare responses from 82 doctors who participated in the 2016 survey, and 67 doctors who have taken part in the survey in 2019: pediatricians, general practitioners / family physicians and physicians of pediatric sub specialties.

[Assessment of the safety and accuracy of implantation of screws into the C2 vertebra using individual 3D-navigation matrices].

Introduction: Individual 3D-navigation matrices are valuable to increase the safety of screw implantation into the axis.

Objective: To analyze safety and accuracy of screw deployment into the axis using individual 3D-navigation matrices compared to free hand technique.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 23 patients (group 1) who underwent implantation of 44 screws into the axis using the «free hand» technique.
