Gliomatosis cerebri: Prognosis based on current molecular markers.

This study aims to review the literature and identify key molecular markers affecting the prognosis of Gliomatosis cerebri (2) to evaluate the level of evidence and identify outstanding markers requiring further study. A literature search was conducted across 5 major databases using the key terms: "Molecular markers" AND "Gliomatosis cerebri" OR "diffuse astrocytoma." Critical appraisal and data presentation was performed inline with the PRISMA guidelines.

Dynamic plates in anterior cervical fusion surgery: graft settling and cervical alignment.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of graft subsidence associated with the use of dynamic cervical plates on cervical alignment and clinical outcome of patients undergoing anterior cervical decompression and fusion.

Summary And Background Data: Dynamic cervical plates allow graft loading which may enhance fusion.
