Maximum safe resection of infiltrative brain tumors in eloquent area is the primary objective in surgical neuro-oncology. This goal can be achieved with direct electrical stimulation (DES) to perform a functional mapping of the brain in patients awake intraoperatively. When awake surgery is not possible, we propose a pipeline procedure that combines advanced techniques aiming at performing a dissection that respects the anatomo-functional connectivity of the peritumoral region.

Context: Haller's cells or infraorbital ethmoid cells refer to the ethmoidal pneumatization of the superior aspect of the maxillary sinus, and floor of the orbit can be seen on panoramic radiographs. They appear as well-defined, round-, oval-, or teardrop-shaped radiolucencies with smooth corticated or noncorticated borders.

Aims And Objective: To determine the prevalence and scrutinize the characteristics of Haller's cells on panoramic radiographs.

Background: Parkinson's disease is typically treated with oral dopamine replacement therapies; however, long-term treatment leads to motor complications and, occasionally, impulse control disorders caused by intermittent stimulation of dopamine receptors and off-target effects, respectively. We aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bilateral, intrastriatal delivery of ProSavin, a lentiviral vector-based gene therapy aimed at restoring local and continuous dopamine production in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease.

Methods: We undertook a phase 1/2 open-label trial with 12-month follow-up at two study sites (France and UK) to assess the safety and efficacy of ProSavin after bilateral injection into the putamen of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Context: Interruption or maintenance of oral antiplatelet therapy (OAT) during an invasive procedure may result in ischaemic and/or haemorrhagic complications. There is currently a lack of clear guidance regarding the issue of treatment interruption during surgical procedures.

Objective: To evaluate the rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and major or minor bleeding complications and their associated independent correlates in coronary stented patients undergoing urgent or planned non-cardiac surgery.
