“In an attempt to establish cutoff values to predict the occurrence of neurological sequelae, MD and FA measurements in the corpus callosum, thalamus, basal ganglia, corticospinal tract, and frontal white matter have proven to have an excellent ability to predict severe neurological outcomes," states Kenichi Oishi, MD, PhD, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. [...]
“There doesn’t appear to be any long-term benefit of providing Remodulin IV when compared to Sub-Cutaneous injection. The risk of blood infections from intravenous administration of Remodulin using venous access devices such as PICC lines and Ports appear to be unreasonable given there is no long-term benefit other than local pain at the incision site," [...]
“Furthermore, a comparison of court documents and the public record indicates that adverse events and patient deaths were misreported to FDA reviewers and were inaccurately reported in both the published literature and on the device label, providing patients and clinicians with inaccurate information about the device’s safety,” states Harlan M. Kruholz, MD. What else did [...]
“High progesterone receptor positivity was linked to low grade tumors. Meningioma grade and many subtypes can be identified with the use of progesterone receptor expression, particularly in cases that are borderline,” states Dr. Assad Albayati. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, states, “In this study, like others, 79.3 % of Grade I meningiomas, [...]
“The aim was to investigate whether infants with periventricular white matter injury with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy have unique lesions different from lesions in those without cerebral palsy and to evaluate the early diagnostic efficiency of Diffusion Tensor Imaging for differentiating infants with spastic cerebral palsy from those with periventricular white matter injury without cerebral [...]
“Polypropylene and PVDF slings showed similar high cure or improvement rate (91.0% vs. 95.6%) … A higher incidence of long-term pain events were observed in the polypropylene group,” states Dr. Jordi Sabadell. What did a randomized polypropylene tranobturator sling versus PVDF transobturator sling show in Dr. Jordi Sabadell’s article “Polypropylene and polyvinylidene fluoride transobturator slings [...]
“My law firm’s focus is the representation of women who used Depo-Provera and have required brain surgery for meningiomas that are progesterone receptor expression positive," states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, Board Certified PM&R. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, states, “Recent population studies from Europe describe a 5.5x risk of developing meningiomas in [...]
“Clearly, the women who were assigned into the Coloplast Altis group ‘drew the short straw’ as their sexual function was placed at risk as a result of this device when compared with full-length mid-urethral slings” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national mid-urethral sling attorney. Dr. Greg Vigna, national mid-urethral sling attorney, states, “Level 1 Evidence from [...]
“Of the 19 (48%) patients who were ambulatory prior to bilateral amputation, only 2 (11%) remained ambulatory after the second amputation, while 17 (89%) patients lost ambulatory capabilities,” states Dr. Helene Henson, M.D., Michael E. DeBakey, VA Medical Center, Houston, TX. What did Dr. Henson report in “Ambulation and independence among Veterans with nontraumatic bilateral [...]
“Unfortunately, biological aggressiveness … can only be investigated after surgery. Differentiation between low- and high-grade meningiomas using conventional MRI is difficult. Imaging techniques that enable noninvasive, preoperative assessment of tumor biology and WHO grade could potentially be helpful in surgical planning," states Dr. K. Mariam Slot, Neurosurgeon, Amsterdam University Medical Centers. What did Dr. K [...]
