..This case was the first case of nosocomial meningitis due to ESBL positive K. pneumoniae together with Acinetobacter spp. in the available literature...

..Histological examination revealed an adenoma with spheroid amyloid deposits adjacent to prolactin-staining adenoma cells. The patient recovered from the surgery without complications...

..The multilevel noncommunicating cyst was totally removed by simple delivery without rupture through a single-level laminoplasty. To our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the literature...

..0001; p=0.007). G4 had higher cell counts compared to G2 and G3 (p=0.0001; p=0.05). These findings indicated that dexmedetomidine might have neuroprotective effects in spinal cord injury...

..We herein review the literature describing cases in which a bullet in the spinal canal has migrated; we describe the treatment used and the outcomes in these cases...

..0001). Mean luminal diameter of the basilar artery was significantly smaller in G3 than in G2 (p=0.02), G4 (p<0.018) and G5 (p<0.001). Our results confirm that ebselen may have neuroprotective effects by acting to prevent vasospasm...

..We suggest that elderly patients presenting with a first seizure need detailed evaluation and giant aneurysms, which may be confused with other intracranial space-occupying lesions, need to be considered in the differential diagnosis...

..Patients with these pathologies are likely to show a good neurologic outcome when treatment, whether with or without surgery, is administered early in the course of the disease...

..There was no difference between the hospitalization duration of the groups. In conclusion, this study suggests that EA is an important alternative to GA during lumbar disc surgery...

..To our knowledge, myelopathy due to condylus occipitalis has not been reported before. Deaths of two cases were previously reported, but these were not live cases...

..The compliance of the patient to cervical immobilization in nonoperative treatment plays a very important role in the development of late complications. MRI in the acute period may be useful in determining instability...

..In conclusion, NS treatment might be beneficial in spinal cord tissue damage, and therefore shows potential for clinical implications...

..3D MRM technique may be useful in selected cases such as patients with multilevel disc abnormalities or lumbar spinal stenosis where it allows a rapid and easy appreciation of the level most likely to account for the pathology...
