Neuroendovascular treatment via transradial access (TRA) has gained popularity as a minimally invasive technique. However, the flow reversal (FR) system, reported useful in carotid artery stenting (CAS), cannot be applied via TRA because it requires an access route of more than 8 F. Herein, we report the utility of a modified FR system applied via TRA using a sheathless 8-F balloon guide catheter and a 2.6-F balloon catheter. ⋯ This study suggests that CAS with FR using our modified system is feasible via TRA and may be an effective technique with a low rate of vascular complications.

The aim of this study, a retrospective database analysis, was to assess the impact of baseline cannabis use disorder (CUD) on perioperative complication outcomes in patients undergoing primary 1- to 2-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. ⋯ These findings indicate that isolated baseline CUD is associated with an increased risk of hospital readmission at 90 days postoperative and cervical spine reoperation at 1 year after primary 1- to 2-level ACDF surgery with a decrease in overall medical complications, cardiac arrhythmias, and acute renal failure.

We aim to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS)-29 profile domains among patients with chronic low back pain. ⋯ We present data supporting the validity and reliability of the Hungarian PROMIS-29 profile short forms for patients with low back pain. This instrument will be useful for research and clinical applications in spine care.

We aimed to construct 3 predictive models, including a clinical model, a radiomics model, and a combined model, to forecast the discharge prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage on admission. ⋯ The combined model demonstrates reliability and efficacy in predicting the discharge prognosis of ICH, enabling physicians to perform individualized risk assessments, and make optimal choices about patients with ICH.
