Introduction: Lobectomy has recently been employed in the management of glioblastoma (GB). Compared to subtotal, gross total and supramarginal resection, lobectomy provides maximum cytoreduction and improves overall survival (OS).
Research Question: The primary aim of this study is to compare lobectomy to other techniques for managing GB in terms of OS and progression-free survival (PFS).
Purpose: Perioperative management of patients medicated with antithrombotics requiring elective intracranial procedures is challenging. We ought to (1) identify the clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and recommendations (CPRs) on perioperative management of antithrombotic agents in elective intracranial surgery and (2) assess their methodological quality and reporting clarity.
Methods: The study was conducted following the 2020 PRISMA guidelines for a systematic review and has been registered (PROSPERO, CRD42023415710).
The vestibular system plays a fundamental role in body orientation, posture control, and spatial and body motion perception, as well as in gaze and eye movements. We aimed to review the current knowledge regarding the location of the cortical and subcortical areas, implicated in the processing of vestibular stimuli. The search was performed in PubMed and Scopus.

It has been demonstrated that early intervention is of paramount importance. The aim of our study is to evaluate the functional outcome and the overall survival of early microsurgically treated patients.
