November 2024
Introduction: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a pain syndrome that develops within few months after the acute herpetic outbreak. The pain may be accompanied by specific cutaneous signs in the distribution of affected dermatomes and feel unbearable reaching up to 9-10/10 on visual analog scale (VAS). Despite the introduction of new medications, drug resistance develops in at least 50% of cases.

- 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.
Open and Percutaneous Trigeminal Nucleotractotomy: A Case Series and Literature Review.

December 2023
Introduction: Nucleotractotomy is an efficient surgical technique that provides a high pain relief rate for specific clinical indications. There are two main approaches for performing this operation: an open and percutaneous technique.
Methods: In the Federal Center of Neurosurgery (Novosibirsk, Russia) from 2016 to 2022, 13 trigeminal nucleotractotomies (7 open and 6 percutaneous) were performed in 12 patients (5 women and 7 men).
Article Synopsis
- 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.
