Description

Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7 or osteogenic protein-1) versus autograft (autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) or cancellous bone) fusion success in posterolateral fusion (PLF) of the spine is the subject of this study. A deliberate hunt of all articles distributed through January 1, 2000 to January 2022 was led in data sets like PubMed, Cochrane Cooperation Library, and Cross Reference. BMP-7 and autograft were compared in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis, with the clinical success rate and fusion rate assessed using the terms "bone morphogenetic protein" and "spinal fusion." Two free examiners screened qualified investigations, evaluated the predisposition of unique articles, separated information including radiological combination achievement, Oswestry inability record improvement. Randomized controlled trials that were conducted in English or Indonesian were considered for inclusion. Introductory choice yielded 246 investigations, and 8 examinations were chosen for the orderly survey. Posterolateral combination had been utilized as treatment for spondylolisthesis and suggestive waterway stenosis.

The current systematic review reveals that a number of studies provide comprehensive data on the success of fusion. There is no huge contrast between BMP-7 and autograft. The Oswestry Disability Index and successful radiological fusion are both influenced by a number of factors, including the composite carrier, the use of instruments, the decompression factor, and the definition of successful radiological fusion. Further exploration is expected to analyze the advantage of BMP-7 as compelling substitute for autograft. Sarcoidosis of the spinal cord is a rare condition with a variety of clinical and radiographic manifestations. Because it looks like cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), a more common neurosurgical pathology, neurosarcoidosis could be wrongly diagnosed. Albeit extraordinary, there is a need to recognize these elements and distinguish a way to deal with finding and treatment. Neurosurgeons who receive these patient referrals will be guided by a review of the most recent research.

Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

In order to locate case reports of patients who presented with myelopathic symptoms as a result of neurosarcoidosis, a systematic literature review was carried out by using the keywords "sarcoid," "cervical," and "myelopathy" in the PubMed database. All articles examining patients with an assumed finding of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) treated precisely with decompression yet later determined to have neurosarcoidosis were evaluated. PubMed recognized 83 up-and-comer articles, of which five met incorporation models. A total of nine patients were examined. With a mean age of 57 11.5 years (range: 29 to 69), 55% of respondents were men. For the presumed diagnosis of CSM, all patients underwent surgical decompression. Within an average of 1.4–1.7 months (range: 0–5 months) following surgery, the postoperative course led to subsequent neurologic decline. After additional testing, a diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made, and either steroids or immunosuppressant therapy was started, with varying degrees of improvement. Even though it is uncommon, neurosarcoidosis is an important diagnosis in the myelopathy etiology differential and should be treated with extreme suspicion. In patients with thought discoveries, early determination and clinical treatment might forestall avoidable medical procedure and related entanglements. The Woven Endobridge (WEB) gadget fills in as an endosaccular stream disruptor in the treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms. Regardless of the changing accessibility of various WEB sizes, there are still limits. Particularly challenging are aneurysms with widths and heights greater than 10 mm and 10.4 mm, respectively. Here we present a case report and specialized note in the treatment of a huge center cerebral corridor (MCA) aneurysm utilizing the Internet gadget and adjunctive curling. WEB-helped looping (WAC) of enormous aneurysms is a seldom depicted method that permits intrasaccular embolization alone without the requirement for intracerebral stenting. In situations like these, the WEB device's precise sizing is crucial. In any case, aneurysm repeat should be thought of and may require further treatment. To better assess this method's efficacy and safety, additional research is required. During endovascular treatment of a cerebral aneurysm, overlaying stenting may be attempted as a rescue for coil herniation, stent mal-positioning, or in-stent thrombosis. During stent-assisted coiling of saccular aneurysms, we retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of additional rescue stenting (ARS) with a Neuroform Atlas stent (NAS). Between March 2018 and December 2021, we gathered clinical and radiological information from patients whose NASs were used to treat saccular aneurysms with ARS. The Y or X stentaided coiling method was not used. Eighteen unruptured and 5 cracked aneurysms in 23 patients were treated with ARS utilizing NASs. Aneurysm sizes ranged from 2.0 to 10.0 millimeters (mean: 5.0 mm). 11 aneurysms had complete occlusion, four had residual neck, and eight had residual sac upon immediate angiography. There was 4.3% peri-operative morbidity. The mean follow-up time for conventional angiography was 9.9 months for 19 out of 23 patients. Ten patients (52.6%) experienced progressive occlusion, and three patients (15.8%) experienced asymptomatic in-stent stenosis. All 18 patients without subarachnoid hemorrhage had excellent clinical outcomes (mRS of 0) at the end of the observation period (mean, 17.4 months), with the exception of one patient (mRS of 1).

Clinical and Angiographic Outcomes

Four of the five patients who suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage experienced a favorable outcome (mRS of 0–1), while the remaining patient was dependent. ARS with NASs for treating saccular aneurysms demonstrated good technical safety and favorable clinical and angiographic outcomes in this report on 23 patients. Be that as it may, postponed in-stent stenosis was normal. Wide-necked aneurysms pose a challenge for treatment in the context of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, so regular imaging follow-up is required. Wide-necked aneurysm treatment options include balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) and stent-assisted coiling (SAC). Comaneci-assisted coiling (CAC) is a new method that uses a temporary stent to help coil an aneurysm. We intend to present the initial meta-analysis comparing these aneurysm rupture treatments. Patients with SRC have been shown to have a higher incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA); patients with SRC has a less versatile aortic wall than those without SRC. Aneurysm sac shrinkage after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for true TAA in patients with and without SRC was the focus of this study. This study included 143 patients with genuine thoracic aortic aneurysms who underwent TEVAR at our university hospital between November 2013 and December 2021. Aneurysm sac size was thought about between that on pattern preoperative figured tomography (CT) and that on postoperative CT checks at 1 year. Whether due to expansion or shrinkage, a change in aneurysm sac size of less than 5 mm was considered significant. There were two groups of patients: 46 patients, or 45 percent, had SRC, while 57 patients, or 55 percent, did not. Patients with SRC had a significantly higher rate of aneurysm sac shrinkage at one year than patients without SRC (23.9% vs. 59.6%, p 0.001). Aneurysm sac shrinkage was significantly lower in patients with SRC than in those without (-1.8 5.6 mm vs. -5.1 6.6 mm, p = 0.009). Univariable and multivariable examinations showed that underlying sac breadth (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03-1.14; p = 0.002), as well as the presence of SRC (OR: 0.15; 0.06-0.40; 95 percent confidence interval (CI); were, respectively, positively and negatively correlated with aneurysm sac shrinkage following TEVAR. The presence of SRC was freely connected with disappointment of aneurysm sac shrinkage after TEVAR for genuine TAA. As a result, the presence of SRC may be a factor in the failure of an aneurysm sac shrinkage procedure following TEVAR.
