Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients, such as immunocompromised patients. Candida is currently the predominant fungal pathogen in these patient populations and is associated with significant morbidity and a high m…

Though the utility of NVM5 neuromonitoring by stimulating within the surgical site during XLIF has been demonstrated, it is hypothesized that more information may be gathered if a greater section of the motor neural pathway was monitored (i.e., stimulation above the surgical site…

The combined measurement of Ab42 and tau protein (total and phosphorylated) in the spinal fluid has been shown to be promising in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and has justified its inclusion new diagnostic criteria. However, it can sometimes yield discordant results…
