Vertebral artery injury during foraminal decompression in "low-risk" cervical spine surgery: incidence and management.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The COVID19 lockdown has altered the dynamics of living. Its collateral fallout on head injury care has not been studied in detail, especially from low- and middle-income countries, possibly overwhelmed more than developed nations. Here, we analyze the effects of COVID19 restrictions on head injury patients ...

abstract：:Recent animal research has provided evidence that brain ischaemia is associated with a shift of energy related metabolites (lactate, adenosine, inosine, and hypoxanthine) and several transmitters from the intracellular to the extracellular fluid (ECF). These chemical changes of the ECF reflect the energy crisis of the...
