Cervical kyphoscoliosis due to substance abuse: a case series on introduction and neurosurgical treatment.
Spine Deform
October 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between multi-directional cervical kyphoscoliosis (CKS) and crack cocaine addiction, as well as evaluating treatment results.
- It presents three cases of patients with a history of crack cocaine abuse who developed CKS due to prolonged poor posture, treated with a complicated surgical method.
- The results show successful surgeries restored spinal alignment with no significant complications, suggesting that long-term cocaine abuse may have a connection to CKS, and that complex surgical interventions can lead to positive outcomes.
Comparative Risks of Potential Adverse Events Following COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination Among Older US Adults.
JAMA Netw Open
August 2023
Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research, Brown University School of Public Health, Providence, Rhode Island.
Importance: Head-to-head safety comparisons of the mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 are needed for decision making; however, current evidence generalizes poorly to older adults, lacks sufficient adjustment, and inadequately captures events shortly after vaccination. Additionally, no studies to date have explored potential variation in comparative vaccine safety across subgroups with frailty or an increased risk of adverse events, information that would be useful for tailoring clinical decisions.
Objective: To compare the risk of adverse events between mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 (mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2) overall, by frailty level, and by prior history of the adverse events of interest.
3D Printing and processing of miniaturized transducers with near-pristine piezoelectric ceramics for localized cavitation.
Nat Commun
April 2023
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, 94720, USA.
The performance of ultrasonic transducers is largely determined by the piezoelectric properties and geometries of their active elements. Due to the brittle nature of piezoceramics, existing processing tools for piezoelectric elements only achieve simple geometries, including flat disks, cylinders, cubes and rings. While advances in additive manufacturing give rise to free-form fabrication of piezoceramics, the resultant transducers suffer from high porosity, weak piezoelectric responses, and limited geometrical flexibility.

Neurocrit Care
April 2023
Institute of Anesthesiology, Cleveland Clinic, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Background: The use of processed electroencephalography (pEEG) for depth of sedation (DOS) monitoring is increasing in anesthesia; however, how to use of this type of monitoring for critical care adult patients within the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unclear.
Methods: A multidisciplinary panel of international experts consisting of 21 clinicians involved in monitoring DOS in ICU patients was carefully selected on the basis of their expertise in neurocritical care and neuroanesthesiology. Panelists were assigned four domains (techniques for electroencephalography [EEG] monitoring, patient selection, use of the EEG monitors, competency, and training the principles of pEEG monitoring) from which a list of questions and statements was created to be addressed.
Frailty, Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy, and Outcomes in HFrEF: From the GUIDE-IT Trial.
JACC Heart Fail
April 2022
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA. Electronic address:
Objectives: In this study, we sought to evaluate the association of frailty with the use of optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Background: The burden of frailty in HFrEF is high, and the patterns of GDMT use according to frailty status have not been studied previously.
Methods: A post hoc analysis of patients with HFrEF enrolled in the GUIDE-IT (Guiding Evidence-Based Therapy Using Biomarker Intensified Treatment in Heart Failure) trial was conducted.
