Context: Despite a high urinary tract infection (UTI) rate in spinal cord injured patents in China, there is limited evidence on the epidemiological character of that.

Objective: The purpose of our article was to characterize the distribution of pathogens of UTI patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and the resistance profile of pathogens.

Methods: A literature search of six electronic databases was carried out to identify the incidence, pathogen distribution, and drug resistance of UTI after SCI based on our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was carried out using R 4.0.2 software; a subgroup analysis was performed by the year 2012.

Results: We screened 1110 eligible studies, 33 were included in our final review. A total of 7271 bacterial species were included in our studies; 6092 were gram-negative (81.13% [76.83-85.11]) and 1003 were gram-positive (14.89% [11.70-18.38]). Before 2012, (45.43%) was the predominant isolated pathogen, followed by Klebsiella (7.49%) and Enterococcus (6.01%). After 2012, (50.23%) was the main pathogen, followed by Klebsiella (12.47%) and Proteus (6.88%). was more likely to be resistant to Levofloxacin, Amikacin, sulfonamides, 4th-generation cephalosporins and Nitrofurantoin before 2012 (81.8% vs. 62.9%, 32.0% vs. 7.6%, 81.3% vs. 61.6%, 81.8% vs. 24.1%, 33.5% vs. 5.1%), whereas was more frequently resistant to Inhibitor-resistant β-lactamas after 2012 (56.3% vs. 34.0%). was more likely to be resistant to Aztreonam, Amikacin before 2012 (80.0% vs. 39.8%, 48.1% vs. 19.0%). presented a high resistance to Levofloxacin, Inhibitor-resistant β-lactamas after 2012 (61.8% vs. 35.6%, 59.1% vs. 5.7%).

Conclusions: UTI in patients with SCI in China were mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria. We observed a remarkable modification in resistance profiles of pathogen distribution before 2012 and after 2012, which suggests reasonable control of the use of antibiotics has a positive effectiveness on resistance profiles.

Imaging characteristics and treatment of recurrent germinoma.

J Neurosurg

January 2025

1Department of Neurosurgery, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima; and.

Objective: An MRI protocol for germinoma surveillance after complete remission has not been established. Moreover, the standard treatment for recurrent or refractory germinoma has not been determined. In this study, the authors explored the imaging characteristics of recurrent germinoma and discuss their institution's experience with multidisciplinary treatment of this malignancy.

Objective: Conventional decompression surgery for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the thoracic spine, whether approached anteriorly or posteriorly, poses several challenges, including technical complexity, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, incomplete decompression, and potential neurological deterioration. Therefore, the authors introduce a novel technique, anterior sliding decompression osteotomy (ASDO), for thoracic myelopathy caused by OPLL and evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.

Methods: Six patients (4 men and 2 women) who underwent ASDO surgery for beak-type OPLL in the thoracic spine with a follow-up period of at least 2 years were included in the cohort.

Altered neural signaling in fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) was investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We employed a novel fMRI network analysis method, Structural and Physiological Modeling (SAPM), which provides more detailed information than previous methods. The study involved brain fMRI data from participants with FM (N = 22) and a control group (HC, N = 18), acquired during a noxious stimulation paradigm.
