Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how men and women are affected differently after surgery for unruptured brain aneurysms.
- They found that more women were part of the study and that women were usually older but had fewer other health issues.
- Although women had fewer lung problems after surgery, both men and women had similar overall health issues, survival rates, and brain function immediately after the operation.
Background And Objectives: Microsurgical aneurysm repair by clipping continues to be highly important despite increasing endovascular treatment options, especially because of inferior occlusion rates. This study aimed to present current global microsurgical treatment practices and to identify risk factors for complications and neurological deterioration after clipping of unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms.
Methods: Fifteen centers from 4 continents participated in this retrospective cohort study.
Background: Crooke cell adenomas (CCAs) are a rare, aggressive subset of secretory pituitary corticotroph adenomas (sCTAs) found in 5%-10% of patients with Cushing disease. Multiple studies support worse outcomes in CCAs but are limited by small sample size and single-institution databases. We compared outcomes in CCA and sCTA using a multicenter, international retrospective database of high-volume skull base centers.

- Benchmarks for surgical outcomes of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are lacking globally, prompting this study to establish standardized outcome metrics based on a large analysis of 2,245 microsurgical cases across multiple centers.
- The research classified patients into low-risk ("benchmark") and high-risk ("nonbenchmark") groups using established factors, defining benchmark outcomes such as surgery duration, complications, and recovery metrics based on percentages from the patient data.
- The findings resulted in various benchmark cutoffs, revealing significant patient outcome improvements in the benchmark group, including higher rates of favorable neurological outcomes and lower complication rates compared to the nonbenchmark group at follow-up.
Importance: Benchmarks aid in improve outcomes for surgical procedures. However, best achievable results that have been validated internationally for transsphenoidal surgery (TS) are not available.
Objective: We aimed to establish standardized outcome benchmarks for TS of pituitary adenomas.
Background And Objectives: There is considerable controversy as to which of the 2 operating modalities (microsurgical or endoscopic transnasal surgery) currently used to resect pituitary adenomas (PAs) is the safest and most effective intervention. We compared rates of clinical outcomes of patients with PAs who underwent resection by either microsurgical or endoscopic transnasal surgery.
Methods: To independently assess the outcomes of each modality type, we sought to isolate endoscopic and microscopic PA surgeries with a 1:1 tight-caliper (0.
Key Points: IAs location distribution in patients with ADPKD differ from the ones in non-ADPKD patients. IAs in patients with ADPKD are more commonly located in the anterior circulation and in large caliber arteries. Because of IA multiplicity and singular IA distribution, patients with ADPKD represent a special population who need to be closely followed.

Methods: In the current report, a new therapeutic approach in curing malignant neoplasms has been performed on the U87 human glioblastoma model. This approach, termed "Karanahan", is aimed at the eradication of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which were recently shown to be capable of internalizing fragments of extracellular double-stranded DNA.
Background Context: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is a common procedure for degenerative cervical radiculopathy. In 1996, Dr. H.
