Objective: This study aimed to create a prediction model of postoperative pulmonary complications for the patients with emergency cerebral hemorrhage surgery.
Methods: Patients with hemorrhage surgery who underwent cerebral hemorrhage surgery were included and divided into two groups: patients with or without pulmonary complications. Patient characteristics, previous history, laboratory tests, and interventions were collected.
To systematically evaluate the risk factors of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD), and to provide theoretical basis for clinical medical staff to identify the risk factors of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with PD. From the establishment of the database to January 2021, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, other English database, were searched for literatures about the risk factors of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, after browsing the title, abstract and full text, the high-quality literature in line with the inclusion criteria was selected, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS)document quality evaluation tool was used to evaluate the literature quality and extract the data.

Methods: Patients with cerebral radiation necrosis after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) confirmed by imaging were included. Bevacizumab (1 mg/kg, once every three weeks, for at least three continuous treatments) was administered.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to construct a nomogram for postoperative delirium (POD) after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: The present study retrospectively enrolled 165 patients with PD who had undergone DBS surgery. The patients were assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit and were divided into 2 groups: the delirium group and nondelirium group.
Background: Microvascular decompression is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm. However, when encountering hemifacial spasm associated with vertebral artery (VA), the procedure is more challenging and requires complicated operation techniques. The authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of this group of cases and investigated reasonable transposition procedures for different anatomic classifications.
