Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze how deep brain stimulation (DBS) impacts self-injurious behavior (SIB) across different neurological disorders by reviewing various research findings.
- A systematic review of literature identified 59 patients from multiple articles, highlighting that DBS is effective in reducing SIB severity and frequency, particularly in conditions like Tourette syndrome.
- The findings suggest that treating the primary neurological disorder with DBS can also help alleviate SIB, but less success was noted in certain conditions like dystonia when targeting specific brain regions.
Objective: To examine the virtual family conference as an educational, preparatory, and transition planning intervention in stroke rehabilitation.
Design: Observational-cross-sectional study.
Setting: Inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
Background: Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have diverse applications in medicine. As AI tools advance towards clinical implementation, skills in how to use and interpret AI in a healthcare setting could become integral for physicians. This study examines undergraduate medical students' perceptions of AI, educational opportunities about of AI in medicine, and the desired medium for AI curriculum delivery.

Introduction: Robotic neuroendovascular intervention is defined as any endovascular procedure within the vasculature of the central nervous system with the assistance of a robotic system for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Robotic systems are described as a 2-component system consisting of a patient-side mechanical robot, and a separate operator control station.
Background: We have recommended active surveillance as the preferred management option for clinical stage I (CSI) testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) since 1980. Over time, the recommended intensity of surveillance has decreased; however, the impact on relapse detection has not been investigated.
Objective: To examine relapse rate, time to relapse, extent of disease, and burden of treatment at relapse across decreasing surveillance intensity over time.
Background: This study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on clinical outcomes in patients with low grade glioma (LGG).
Methods: In a retrospective propensity-matched cohort study, we compared patients with LGG based on whether they underwent fMRI as part of preoperative assessment. Twelve patients with LGG who underwent preoperative fMRI were selected, and a contemporaneous group of 12 control patients with LGG who did not undergo fMRI were matched to the fMRI group based on age, sex, and 1p/19q status.
