OBJECTIVE: In nonrecovery models of cerebral ischemia, blood-brain barrier (BBB) and
cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes are known to occur during reperfusion. It is unknown, …

The present study was undertaken to ascertain the role of smooth muscles and pericytes in
the microcirculation during hyperperfusion and hypoperfusion following ischemia in rats. …

The supraclavicular artery island (SAI) flap is a viable fasciocutaneous option for the
reconstruction of head and neck defects. Although authors have reported success using SAI flaps …

Background: The optimal method to protect the brain from hemodynamic ischemia during
carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains controversial. This study reports our experience with …

This study was performed to test the hypotheses that (a) resection of the temporal lobe epileptic
focus, amenable to noninvasive as opposed to invasive localization, is associated with …

Introduction Previous studies have confirmed the benefits and limitations of the presacral
retroperitoneal approach for L5–S1 interbody fusion. The purpose of this study was to …

Standard planning for intracranial aneurysm surgery relies on the surgeon's intellectual
reconstruction of the three‐dimensional (3D) surgical field on the basis of a two‐dimensional (2D…

Objectives: Bilateral carotid artery occlusion associated with lymphocytic hypophysitis is
exceedingly rare. We describe this association and review the literature. Methods: The authors …

Background Loss of lumbar lordosis has been reported after lumbar interbody fusion surgery
and may portend poor clinical and radiographic outcome. The objective of this research …

Anesthesia is an essential element during the induction of ischemia/reperfusion and cerebral
blood flow (CBF) measurement in most animal models. Cerebral neuroprotection and …
