Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how total REBOA (tREBOA) affects cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure (ICP) in pigs during controlled hemorrhagic shock and subsequent resuscitation.
- Researchers used 22 anesthetized pigs, splitting them into two groups: one with elevated ICP (EICPG) and one with normal ICP (NICPG), and monitored their vital parameters before and after inducing shock.
- Results showed that tREBOA effectively restored cerebral perfusion in both groups, even with periods of impaired autoregulation, confirming its potential as a lifesaving intervention during critical resuscitation scenarios.
Background: Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common conditions encountered in neurosurgical practice. After surgery, the patients often improve dramatically; but their long-term outcome is more uncertain. The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors of outcome 6 months after surgery.

- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death for young people and is increasingly common in the elderly, with Sweden reporting 20,000 new cases annually, mostly mild.
- The initial impact of TBI can lead to severe complications like brain hemorrhages and requires monitoring of consciousness levels and intracranial pressure for proper assessment.
- The primary focus of acute management is to prevent secondary injuries that can worsen the initial damage, with about 4-5% of cases necessitating surgical intervention.
Background: Although high grade gliomas largely affect older patients, current evidence on neurosurgical complications is mostly based on studies including younger study populations. We aimed to investigate the risk for postoperative complications after neurosurgery in a population-based cohort of older patients with high grade gliomas, and explore changes over time.
Methods: In this retrospective study we have used data from the Swedish Brain Tumour Registry and included patients in Sweden age 65 years or older, with surgery 1999-2017 for high grade gliomas.
Background: Meningioma is the most common primary CNS tumour. Most meningiomas are benign, and most patients are 65 years or older. Surgery is usually the primary treatment option.
