A taxonomic review of the snailfish genus Careproctus (Liparidae) with a reduced pelvic disk-the Careproctus gilberti species group-from the western North Pacific recognized three new species from the southern Sea of Okhotsk, and confirmed the validity of Careproctus gilberti, Careproctus mederi, Careproctus ostentum, and Careproctus parvidiscus. One of the newly described species, Careproctus longibarbatus sp. nov.

Background: Although herniated discs in the cervical spine are rare overall, patients with this clinical picture regularly present themselves in orthopedic and neurosurgical practice. Initially, those affected often have severe local and predominantly radicular pain and, optionally, dermatome-related neurological deficits in the upper extremities, with medullary signs occasionally being found.
Prognosis: The prognosis for complete remission is usually favorable, so that primary therapy is almost always conservative.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a novel subperception spinal cord stimulation (SCS) waveform paradigm designed to target the dorsal horn dendrites for treating chronic neuropathic low back pain (LBP). The final 12-month results are reported here.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants were implanted with a commercial SCS system.

: Binocular optical microscopy (OM) paved the way for a new era in brain and spine neurosurgery fields with the introduction of microsurgery. Despite its enormous contribution to modern neurosurgery, OM presents some intrinsic limitations that surgeons need to face during procedures such as prolonged non-ergonomic positions and decreased vision quality to the assistant eyepiece. To overcome these limitations, in recent years, new operative tools have been introduced, such as exoscopes.

Background Radially sampled averaged magnetization inversion-recovery acquisition (rAMIRA) imaging shows hyperintensity in the lateral corticospinal tract (CST) in patients with motor neuron diseases. Purpose To systematically determine the accuracy of the lateral corticospinal tract sign for detecting patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at rAMIRA MRI. Materials and Methods This study included prospectively acquired data from participants in ALS and other motor neuron disease imaging studies at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland.
