Imaging features of invasion and preoperative and postoperative tumor burden in previously untreated glioblastoma: Correlation with survival
Date of publication: 10-Aug-2010
Background:A paucity of data exists concerning the prognostic usefulness of preoperative and postoperative imaging after resection of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This study aimed to connect outcome with imaging features of GBM.

Intradiscal electrothermal therapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain: Experience with 93 patients
Date of publication: 04-Aug-2010
Background:Low back pain (LBP) has become a main cause of absenteeism and disability in industrialized societies. Chronic LBP is an important health issue in modern countries. Discogenic LBP is one of the causes of chronic low back pain. The management of chronic discogenic LBP has been limited to either conservative treatment or operative treatment. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is now being performed as an alternative treatment.
Bifrontal solitary fibrous tumor of the meninges
Date of publication: 29-Jul-2010
Background:We report the case of a bifrontal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) arising from the meninges. The points of interest in this case report are the particular imaging appearance, the immunohistochemical findings and the surgical features.
Delayed sub-aponeurotic fluid collections in infancy: Three cases and a review of the literature
Date of publication: 21-Jul-2010
Background:Sub-aponeurotic fluid collections (SFCs) in the neonatal period are poorly described in the literature. We describe the occurrence, possible etiologies and treatment of sub-aponeurotic fluid collections following the neonatal period.

Deformative stress associated with an abnormal clivo-axial angle: A finite element analysis
Date of publication: 16-Jul-2010
Background:Chiari malformation, functional cranial settling and subtle forms of basilar invagination result in biomechanical neuraxial stress, manifested by bulbar symptoms, myelopathy and headache or neck pain. Finite element analysis is a means of predicting stress due to load, deformity and strain. The authors postulate linkage between finite element analysis (FEA)-predicted biomechanical neuraxial stress and metrics of neurological function.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus: A central nervous system etiology
Date of publication: 16-Jul-2010
Background:Insulin resistance (hyperinsulinemia) is said to be the signal event and causal in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pulsatile arterial compression of the right anterolateral medulla oblongata is associated with autonomic dysfunction, including “driving” the pancreas, which increases insulin resistance causing type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this prospective study, we hypothesize that decompressing the right cranial nerve X and medulla will result in better glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
