Are magnitude of preoperative cervical lordotic compensation and C2-T3 angle correlated to increased risk of postoperative sagittal spinal pelvic malalignment in adult thoracolumbar deformity patients at 2-year follow-up?
Patients with sagittal spinal malalignment associated with significant cervical compensatory lordosis are at increased risk of realignment failure at 2-year follow-up. Assessment of the degree of cervical compensation may be helpful in preop evaluation to assist in realignment outcome prediction.
The survival of tumor-bearing animals was improved with local delivery of TMZ compared with systemic administration. XRT in combination with intracranial TMZ did not cause additional toxicity and prolonged the survival even further.
