Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a systematic review and a streamlined six-step algorithm endorsed by the Italian Society of Neurosurgery (SINCH).

Introduction: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a triad of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes. However, the diagnosis of iNPH remains challenging due to its variable presentation and overlap with other neurological conditions.

Sex Differences in Patient-rated Outcomes After Lumbar Spinal Fusion for Degenerative Disease: A Multicenter Cohort Study.

Study Design: Heterogeneous data collection via a mix of prospective, retrospective, and ambispective methods.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of biological sex on patient-reported outcomes after spinal fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative disease.

Summary Of Background Data: Current literature suggests sex differences regarding clinical outcome after spine surgery may exist.

One-food versus 4-food elimination diet for pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis: A multisite randomized trial.

Background: A 6-food elimination diet in pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is difficult to implement and may negatively affect quality of life (QoL). Less restrictive elimination diets may balance QoL and efficacy.

Objective: We performed a multisite, randomized comparative efficacy trial of a 1-food (milk) elimination diet (1FED) versus 4-food (milk, egg, wheat, soy) elimination diet (4FED) in pediatric EoE.

Thalamic ventral-Oralis complex/rostral zona incerta deep brain stimulation for midline tremor.

Background: Midline Tremor is defined as an isolated or combined tremor that affects the neck, trunk, jaw, tongue, and/or voice and could be part of Essential Tremor (ET), or dystonic tremor. The clinical efficacy of deep brain stimulation for Midline Tremor has been rarely reported. The Ventral Intermediate Nucleus and Globus Pallidus Internus are the preferred targets, but with variable outcomes.

Lateral transorbital neuroendoscopic approach for tumors of the orbital apex and spheno-orbital region: Technique, feasibility, efficacy, and safety based on a consecutive case series.

Introduction: Surgical approaches for tumors of the orbital apex and the spheno-orbital region (SOR) comprehend medial and lateral corridors. The TransOrbital NeuroEndoscopic (TONE) approach has recently been reported as a possible effective alternative to the classic lateral corridors, but literature about is still underestimated.

Research Question: The aim of this study was to make a critical appraisal of the results of using the lateral TONE approach in a monocentric consecutive series of SOR tumors.
