    Abstract Primary spinal cord tumors are relatively rare, comprising approximately 4%-16% of all tumors originating from the central nervous system. These tumors are anatomically separable into 2 broad categories: intradural intramedullary and intradural extramedullary. Intramedullary tumors are composed predominantly of gliomas (infiltrative astrocytoma) and ependymomas.

    Abstract Background: The computed tomography angiography (CTA) "spot sign" is a well-recognized radiographic marker in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Although it has been demonstrated to represent an area of active hemorrhage or contrast extravasation, the exact pathophysiology remains unclear. Vascular mimics of the spot sign have been identified; however, those representing pseudoaneurysm and small vessel aneurysm have rarely been reported.
    Observations: A 57-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with 2 weeks of acute-onset, worsening headache. Computed tomography scanning showed a right interior frontal lobe intraparenchymal hemorrhage. CTA demonstrated a punctate focus of hyperattenuation within the hematoma, consistent with a spot sign, which corresponded to a distal anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm on a cerebral angiogram. The patient subsequently underwent emergent resection of the pseudoaneurysm and hematoma evacuation without complications. Her postoperative course was unremarkable without acute concerns or residual symptoms at the 4-month follow-up.
    Lessons: The authors present a unique case of a distal anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as a spot sign in a relatively young patient without underlying vascular disease. Given the need for emergent intervention, intracranial pseudoaneurysm is an important diagnosis to consider in the presence of a spot sign in atypical clinical presentations of primary ICH.

    Abstract Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be associated with various neurological manifestations, including cerebrovascular disease, seizures, peripheral nerve disease, and encephalitis. Intracranial abscess related to COVID-19 is rare but illustrates a serious complication in the studied cases.
    Observations: The authors report 3 cases of patients presenting with COVID-19 complicated by sinusitis with associated intracranial abscesses. Each patient underwent craniotomy with washout and sinus debridement during their hospital stay. All 3 patients improved to their baseline following treatment. Similar outcomes have been observed in other cases of intracranial abscess associated with COVID-19 infections.
    Lessons: Patients achieved significant improvement following evacuation of the abscess and intravenous antibiotics. Further investigation is needed to determine treatment in relation to COVID-19, and the authors recommend following the standard treatment of intracranial abscess at this time.

    Abstract Background: Delayed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are a known complication following intradural spinal tumor surgery. The placement of subfascial drains in these patients undergoing requisite intradural surgery is controversial. Here, we demonstrated that placing a subfascial drain on partial suction for 48 h, with early ambulation, proved to be safe and effective in preventing early/delayed recurrent CSF fistulas.
    Methods: Medical records of 17 patients undergoing surgery for intradural spinal tumors over a 30-month were reviewed. All patients underwent intradural tumor resection followed by primary dural closure, placement of Gelfoam in a non-compressive fashion, application of fibrin sealant, and utilization of a subfascial drain placed on partial suction for 48 h postoperatively. Patients are mobilized the morning following surgery. We tracked the incidence of postoperative recurrent CSF leaks, over drainage, infection, wound dehiscence, pseudo meningocele formation, and the reoperation rate.
    Results: For the 17 patients, our programmed average utilization of subfascial drains was 48 h. Moreover, the average drain output was 165 mL. Over the 1-year follow-up period, no patient developed a recurrent early/ delayed CSF leak, there were no wound complications, nor need for revision surgery.
    Conclusion: Utilizing subfascial drains on partial suction following the resection of intradural spinal tumors with primary dural closure proved to be safe and effective.

    Abstract This thesis describes the thorough analysis of the rare B meson decay into ϕ K* on data taken by the Belle Collaboration at the B-meson-factory KEKB over 10 years. This reaction is very interesting, because it in principle allows the observation of CP-violation effects. In the Standard Model however, no CP violation in this reaction is expected. An observation of CP asymmetries thus immediately implies new physics. This thesis presents an amplitude analysis of this decay and the search for CP violation in detail and discusses methods to solve related problems: The quantification of multivariate dependence and the improvement of numeric evaluation speed of normalization integrals in amplitude analysis. In addition it provides an overview of the theory, experimental setup, (blind) statistical data analysis and estimation of systematic uncertainties

    Abstract Objective: The aging global population presents an increasing challenge for spine surgeons. Advancements in spine surgery, including minimally invasive techniques, have broadened treatment options, potentially benefiting older patients. This study aims to explore the clinical outcomes of spine surgery in septuagenarians and octogenarians.
    Methods: This retrospective analysis, conducted at a US tertiary center, included patients aged 70 and older who underwent elective spine surgery for degenerative conditions. Data included the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), ASA classification, surgical procedures, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and reoperation rates. The objective of this study was to describe the outcomes of our cohort of older patients and discern whether differences existed between septuagenarians and octogenarians.
    Results: Among the 120 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, there were no significant differences in preoperative factors between the age groups (P > 0.05). Notably, the septuagenarian group had a higher average number of fused levels (2.36 vs. 0.38, P = 0.001), while the octogenarian group underwent a higher proportion of minimally invasive procedures (P = 0.012), resulting in lower overall bleeding in the oldest group(P < 0.001). Mobility outcomes were more favorable in septuagenarians, whereas octogenarians tended to maintain or experience a decline in mobility(P = 0.012). A total of 6 (5%) intraoperative complications and 12 (10%) postoperative complications were documented, with no statistically significant differences observed between the groups.
    Conclusions: This case series demonstrates that septuagenarians and octogenarians can achieve favorable clinical outcomes with elective spine surgery. Spine surgeons should be well-versed in the clinical and surgical care of older adults, providing optimal management that considers their increased comorbidity burden and heightened fragility.
