“…Radiation therapy appears highly beneficial and safe in the treatment of pain caused by vertebral hemangiomas and even for epidural extension to some degree. [42][43][44][45][46] Percutaneous injection of ethanol under fluoroscopic guidance has also been efficacious in the treatment of pain. Encouraging results were seen in 86% of patients in one study, 47 provided the dose was less than 15 mL 48 and provided that pretreatment test injection of contrast medium was retained by the hemangioma.…”

Spinal cord vascular malformations are often a cause of spinal myelopathy. Endovascular surgical approaches to spinal cord vascular malformations have become an important adjunct and often the primary treatment of these disorders. Spinal cord vascular malformations may be divided into several categories based on their anatomy and location. They may present with a wide range of symptoms far removed from the vascular pathology. Early recognition and treatment can effect a better outcome and often reverse presenting neurologic deficits. Emerging magnetic resonance imaging techniques allow visualization of flow voids, some vascular anatomy, and intramedullary pathology and are a good screening modality. However, selective diagnostic spinal angiography remains the study of choice to diagnose and elaborate on the anatomy and potential treatment protocols. Rapidly evolving endovascular techniques and technology are revolutionizing the treatment of vascular pathology in the central nervous system, either as an adjunct to traditional neurosurgical techniques or as definitive therapy. We review the diagnosis and treatment options for spinal cord vascular malformations.

An adaptive extremum seeking control scheme for a class of nonlinear distributed parameter systems is presented. It addresses the real‐time optimization of a parallel chemical reaction system in an isothermal tubular reactor with uniform distributed feed described by a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations. Only limited knowledge of the kinetics is assumed. An adaptive learning technique is introduced to design an extremum seeking algorithm that drives the system states to a set point that maximizes the value of an objective function. Lyapunov's stability theorem is used in the design of the extremum seeking controller structure and the development of the parameter learning laws. © 2006 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2006
