Quantifying axons and myelin is essential for understanding spinal cord injury (SCI) mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. This study proposes and validates an automated method to measure axons and myelin, applied to compare contusion, dislocation, and distraction SCIs in a rat model. Spinal cords were processed and stained for neurofilament, tubulin, and myelin basic protein, with histology images segmented into dorsal, lateral, and ventral white matter regions.

Background: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a common diagnostic surgical procedure for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. We aimed to describe our initial experience with the recently released NeuroOne Evo SEEG electrode product (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) and review technical specifications for other currently approved depth SEEG electrodes.
Methods: We performed a record review on the first five patients implanted with NeuroOne Evo SEEG electrode product using the robotic stereotactic assistance robot platform and described our surgical technique in detail.

Traumatic direct type carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus post severe craniofacial trauma or iatrogenic injury. We reported a 46-year-old woman who had developed a traumatic direct type CCF after severe head trauma with a skull base fracture and brain contusion hemorrhage. The clinical manifestations of the patient included pulsatile exophthalmos, proptosis, bruits, chemosis, and a decline in consciousness.
