Surgery Research

KEY FINDING: Age at injury, Injury Severity Score, and neurological level of injury are independent risk factors for the development of NeP in both AIS A and AIS B, C, and D subgroups.

KEY FINDING: Transient unilateral limb dysfunction can occur after surgery for intraspinal meningiomas, even without apparent spinal cord injury during the procedure.

KEY FINDING: No patients developed paraplegia, paraparesis, or other nerve damage due to SCII or cerebral infarction.

KEY FINDING: In recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), scRNA-seq analysis revealed overexpression of stemness and cell-cycle-related genes, decreased microglial proportions, high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), increased blood–brain barrier permeability, and activation of the O6-methylguanine deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methyltransferase-related pathway.

KEY FINDING: Transient immunosuppression resulted in severe acute cellular rejection within two weeks of tacrolimus discontinuation, mimicking non-compliance situations.

KEY FINDING: Advanced age, male sex, white race, prior dementia, low Glasgow Coma Scale score, pre-hospital cardiac arrest, SCI level of C3 or above, and concurrent severe head or thorax injury were associated with increased likelihood of WLST.

KEY FINDING: Mesh optimization group had improved operation time (34.8 ± 6.5 min) compared to traditional PVP group (42.7 ± 8.2) min.

KEY FINDING: Octogenarians had significantly higher age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores compared to the 65–79 age group, indicating a greater burden of comorbidities.

KEY FINDING: The complication rate of the geriatric group was twice as high as that of younger patients; however, this finding was independent of the timing of surgery.

KEY FINDING: The mJOA score tends to improve after surgery for the majority of patients, particularly at six months, which is consistent with the literature.
