Afterglow Copper(I) Iodine Cluster Scintillator.

Copper(I) iodine clusters have drawn intense attention due to their advantageous photophysical properties, such as a high luminescence efficiency, large Stokes shift, and tunable luminescence lifetimes. In this work, a copper(I) iodine cluster (CuI-CHCN) was synthesized, which exhibits unique afterglow emission, ultrahigh quantum yield (90.1 % in solid state) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior.

Radiosurgery versus observation for brainstem cavernous malformations: a 5-year multicentre cohort study.

The role of radiosurgery in preventing haemorrhage in brainstem cavernous malformations remains a subject of debate. This study aims to evaluate whether radiosurgery provides a protective benefit against haemorrhage in these patients. This multicentre, prospective observational study was conducted in 17 centres and enrolled eligible patients with brainstem cavernous malformations consecutively.

Hemorrhagic Outcome of Brainstem Cavernous Malformations following Radiosurgery: Dose-Response Relationship.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the impact of gamma knife radiosurgery on brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs).

Methods: A total of 85 patients (35 females; median age 41.0 years) who underwent gamma knife radiosurgery for brainstem CMs at our institute between 2006 and 2015 were enrolled in a prospective clinical observation trial.

Extra-axial cavernous malformations of the foramen magnum: illustrative cases.

Background: Extra-axial cavernous malformations involving the foramen magnum are rare, and preoperative diagnosis becomes difficult when they mimic meningiomas.

Observations: The authors present 2 cases of extra-axial cavernous malformations involving the foramen magnum. Surgical removal of the lesions was performed via far lateral craniotomy.
