Quick cell-free DNA testing for the prediction of postconcussion syndrome: a single-center prospective pilot trial.

Objective: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a major cause of emergency room (ER) admission. Thirty percent of mTBI patients have postconcussion syndrome (PCS), and 15% have symptoms for over a year. This population is underdiagnosed and does not receive appropriate care.

Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hematoma Evacuation Using a Novel Cost-Effective Tubular Retractor: Single-Center Experience.

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (ICH) is a common disease with a dismal overall prognosis. Recent development of minimally invasive ICH evacuation techniques has shown promising results. Commercially available tubular retractors are commonly used for minimally invasive ICH evacuation yet are globally unavailable.

The Utility of Early Postoperative Neuroimaging in Elective/Semielective Craniotomy Patients: A Single-Arm Prospective Trial.

Background: The necessity and timing of early postoperative imaging (POI) are debated in many studies. Despite the consensus that early POI does not change patient management, these examinations are routinely performed. This is the first prospective study related to POI.
