Multi-modal and Multi-view Cervical Spondylosis Imaging Dataset.

Multi-modal and multi-view imaging is essential for diagnosis and assessment of cervical spondylosis. Deep learning has increasingly been developed to assist in diagnosis and assessment, which can help improve clinical management and provide new ideas for clinical research. To support the development and testing of deep learning models for cervical spondylosis, we have publicly shared a multi-modal and multi-view imaging dataset of cervical spondylosis, named MMCSD.

Clinical outcome of different surgical approaches for symptomatic Chiari malformation without syringomyelia: a 13-year retrospective study.

Chiari malformation, a condition that disrupts cerebrospinal fluid circulation. While previous studies have extensively explored the symptoms, treatment approaches, and clinical outcomes for patients with Chiari malformation accompanied by syringomyelia, there is limited research focused on those without syringomyelia. This study aims to evaluate the symptoms, treatments, intradural findings, and clinical outcomes in patients with Chiari malformation without syringomyelia.

Impact of intradural abnormalities on symptoms and clinical outcomes in Chiari malformation.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of intradural abnormalities on symptoms and clinical outcomes in Chiari malformation.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 189 patients with Chiari malformation who underwent posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty or tonsillectomy. Intradural abnormalities were categorized as arachnoid abnormalities, foramen of Magendie (FoM) obstruction, and tonsillar abnormalities.

Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Survival Outcome of Ependymoma in Infants.

Background: Treatment modalities of ependymoma in infants remain controversial. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy could prolong overall survival but has the potential to affect nervous system development in infants. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in prolonging overall survival for infants with ependymoma is still unclear.

Microarray analysis of aberrant microRNA expression patterns in spinal cord gliomas of different grades.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the development of several types of tumor; however, their role in spinal gliomas remains unknown. The present study aimed to identify potentially novel spinal cord gliomas (SCG)-associated miRNAs and to characterize their roles in the development and progression of SCG. miRNA expression levels in low-grade SCG (classed as stage I-II SCG based on the World Health Organization grading system), high-grade SCG (classed as stage IV SCG based on the World Health Organization grading system) and 5 control cases were measured using a miRNA expression microarray.
