[ 1 ] - Cotreatment with Furosemide and Hypertonic Saline Decreases Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Serum Creatinine Concentrations in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized, Single-Blind Clinical Trial

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs both after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and after hypertonic saline administration; furosemide may be useful in preventing AKI indirectly. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) is superior to serum creatinine (sCr) in diagnosing early AKI. We compared the administration of hypertonic saline plus furosemide (HTS+F) versus hypertonic saline (HTS...

[ 5 ] - Role of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Adults with Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis: A Narrative Review

Background and Aim: Degenerative lumbar scoliosis is a spinal deformity resulting from advanced disc degeneration and facet arthropathy. Given the inconclusive available literature and lack of high-quality data supporting the role of minimally invasive surgical management of degenerative lumbar scoliosis, this review intends to highlight and compare the various viable minimally invasive surgica...

[ 6 ] - Effect of Topical Vancomycin on Prevention of Surgical Site Infection in Spinal Surgery

Background and purpose: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most commonly reported post-operative condition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical vancomycin powder on prevention of SSI in spinal surgery. Materials and methods: A single blind clinical trial was performed in 200 patients who were randomly divided into two groups. In both groups IV injection of ...

[ 7 ] - Effects of minocycline on neurological outcomes in patients with acute traumatic brain injury: a pilot study

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health problem worldwide. Secondary damage of brain injury begins within a few minutes after the trauma and can last a long time. It can be reversible, unlike primary injury. Therefore, therapeutic intervention can be used. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of minocycline on neurological function and serum S100B protein and neuron-specifi...

[ 9 ] - Relationship between Quality of Life after Traumatic Brain Injury and Demographic Characteristics in a Three-Year Follow-Up

Background and purpose: Quality of life among traumatic brain injury patients is of great importance in having more effective treatment. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between quality of life after traumatic brain injury and demographic characteristics. Materials and methods: In this cohort study, the statistical population included 409 patients with traumatic brain injury...

[ 10 ] - Spinal Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis: an Update

Background and Aim: Neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1) is a common genetic condition in children. It is becoming increasingly recognized that in neurofibromatosis, there might be anomalous development of bone with or without any local anomaly of neuro-ectodermal basis. This review was conducted to highlight the different features of spinal disorders in this congenital disease. Methods and Materials: Di...

[ 11 ] - Comparing the Effect of Alendronate and Vitamin D Administration on Lumbosacral Fusion and Severity of Low Back Pain in Patients After Posterior Lumbar Fusion Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background and purpose: Bone fusion is a dynamic process and availability of calcium and balance of vitamin D can be effective in post spinal cord fusion. There are contradictory results on this issue, so, we decided to compare the effect of administration of vitamin D and alendronate on lumbosacral vertebral fusion in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery. Materials and methods:...
