Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a chronic relapsing disease of unknown aetiology. The diagnosis of this disease is still very complicated. The treatment is medical but, in some cases, a surgical decompression might be required. In rare cases it develops a radicular hypertrophy that can cause a cervical myelopathy; this pathology should be put in differential diagnosis with neurofibromatosis 1 and CharcotMarie-Tooth (CMT) syndromes. The cases of CIDP cervical myelopathy reported in the literature are rare and even more rarely a surgical decompression was described. Here we report a first and unique case of CIDP cervical myelopathy treated with an open-door laminoplasty technique with 10-year postoperative follow-up (FU). The surgical decompression revealed to be effective in stopping the progression of myelopathy without destabilizing the spine. The patient that before surgery presented a severe tetraparesis could return to walk and gain back his self-care autonomy. At 10-year FU he did not complain of neck pain and did not develop a cervical kyphosis. In case of cervical myelopathy caused by radicular hypertrophy, CIDP should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis and an open-door laminoplasty is indicated to stop myelopathy progression.

<P>The Advanced LIGO observatories detected gravitational waves from two binary black hole mergers during their first observation run (O1). We present a high-energy neutrino follow-up search for the second gravitational wave event, GW151226, as well as for gravitational wave candidate LVT151012. We find two and four neutrino candidates detected by IceCube, and one and zero detected by ANTARES, within +/- 500 s around the respective gravitational wave signals, consistent with the expected background rate. None of these neutrino candidates are found to be directionally coincident with GW151226 or LVT151012. We use nondetection to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW151226, adopting the GW event's 3D localization, to less than 2 x 10(51)-2 x 10(54) erg.</P>

Objective: The role of the craniocervical complex in spinal sagittal alignment has rarely been analyzed but it may play a fundamental role in postoperative mechanical complications. The aim of the study is to analyze the normative value of the cervical inclination angle (CIA) in an adult asymptomatic multiethnic population. Methods: Standing full-spine EOS of adult asymptomatic volunteers from 5 different countries were analyzed. The CIA was analyzed globally and then in each decade of life. Different ethnicities were compared. Comparisons between different groups was performed using a t-test and statistical significance was considered with a p-value < 0.05. Results: EOS of 468 volunteers were analyzed. The global mean CIA was 80.2° with a maximum difference of 9° between T1 and T12 (p < 0.001). The CIA remains constant until 60 years old then decreases significantly passing from a mean value before 20 years old of 82.25° to 73.65° after 70 years old. A statistically significant difference was found between the Arabics and other ethnicities with the formers having an inferior CIA: this was related to a mean older age (p < 0.05) and higher body mass index (p < 0.05) in the Arabics. Conclusion: The CIA remains constant until 60 years old and then reduces slightly but never under 70°. This angle is helpful to evaluate the lever arm at the upper instrumented vertebra after an adult spinal deformity surgery and could predict the occurrence of a proximal junctional kyphosis when its value is lower than normal. Further clinical studies must confirm this theory.

Objective: To define a novel radiographic measurement, the posterior cranial vertical line (PCVL), in an asymptomatic adult population to better understand global sagittal alignment. Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective review of prospectively collected radiographic data on asymptomatic volunteers aged 20–79. The PCVL is a vertical plumb line drawn from the posterior-most aspect of the occiput. The horizontal distances of the PCVL to the thoracic apex (TA), posterior sagittal vertical line (PSVL, posterosuperior endplate of S1), femoral head center, and tibial plafond were measured. Classification was either grade 1 (PCVL posterior to TA and PSVL), grade 2 (PCVL anterior to TA and posterior to PSVL), or grade 3 (PCVL anterior to TA and PSVL). Results: Three hundred thirty-four asymptomatic patients were evaluated with a mean age of 41 years. Eighty-three percent of subjects were PCVL grade 1, 15% were grade 2, and 3% were grade 3. Increasing PCVL grade was associated with increased age (p < 0.001), C7–S1 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (p < 0.001), C2–7 SVA (p < 0.001). Additionally, it was associated with decreased SS (p = 0.045), increased PT (p < 0.001), and increased knee flexion (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The PCVL is a radiographic marker of global sagittal alignment that is simple to implement and interpret. Increasing PCVL grade was significantly associated with expected changes and compensatory mechanisms in the aging population. Most importantly, it incorporates cervical alignment parameters such as C2–7 SVA. The PCVL defines global sagittal alignment in adult volunteers and naturally distributes into 3 grades, with only 3% being grade 3 where the PCVL lies anterior to the TA and PSVL.

<P>The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst (GRB) that followed the merger of this binary was also recorded by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM), and the Anti-Coincidence Shield for the Spectrometer for the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), indicating particle acceleration by the source. The precise location of the event was determined by optical detections of emission following the merger. We searched for high-energy neutrinos from the merger in the GeV-EeV energy range using the ANTARES, IceCube, and Pierre Auger Observatories. No neutrinos directionally coincident with the source were detected within +/- 500 s around the merger time. Additionally, no MeV neutrino burst signal was detected coincident with the merger. We further carried out an extended search in the direction of the source for high-energy neutrinos within the 14 day period following the merger, but found no evidence of emission. We used these results to probe dissipation mechanisms in relativistic outflows driven by the binary neutron star merger. The non-detection is consistent with model predictions of short GRBs observed at a large off-axis angle.</P>
