Musculoskeletal demands in microsurgery-an explorative study comparing the ergonomics of microscope and 3D exoscope.

To assess neurosurgeons' physical demands and investigate ergonomic aspects when using microsurgical visualization devices. Six neurosurgeons performed micro-surgical procedures on cadaveric specimens using the prototype of a digital 3D exoscope system (Aeos®, Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) and a standard operating microscope (Pentero 900, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) at two different patient positions (semisitting (SS), supine (SP)). The activities of the bilateral upper trapezius (UTM), anterior deltoid (ADM), and lumbar erector spinae (LEM) muscles were recorded using bipolar surface electromyography and neck flexion, arm abduction, and arm anteversion angles by gravimetrical posture sensors.

One-on-one mentoring for final year medical students during the neurosurgery rotation.

Background: Medical students show varying clinical practical skills when entering their final year clinical clerkship, which is the final period to acquire and improve practical skills prior to their residency. We developed a one-on-one mentoring program to allow individually tailored teaching of clinical practical skills to support final year students with varying skill sets during their neurosurgical clinical clerkship.

Methods: Each participating student (n = 23) was paired with a mentor.

Connection between traumatic frontal intracerebral hemorrhage and lower urinary tract symptoms.

Objective: There have been no previous studies of urinary symptoms in patients with traumatic frontal intracerebral hemorrhage. The purpose of this work was to provide first insights into the potential role of traumatic frontal intracerebral hemorrhage in the development of urinary symptoms. This condition is known to cause compression in and around the prefrontal cortex, and we wanted to examine its effect on the micturition center.

The connection between frontal lobe brain tumors and lower urinary tract symptoms - Series of 347 patients.

Objective: The present study aimed to provide an early insight into the effect of intra-axial frontal lobe tumors on the micturition center and its potential role in producing compression in and around the prefrontal cortex.

Patients And Methods: A total of 149 symptomatic patients were selected for urodynamic testing. The study sample included all patients with intra-axial frontal lobe tumors treated at two locations: the University Medical Center Tuebingen (Germany), and Azad University of Medical Sciences (Iran) between 2017 and 2020.

[The interdisciplinary diagnostics and treatment of peripheral nerve lesions].

Nerve lesions are a frequent and often neglected problem in the daily routine of hospitals and clinical work and necessitate an intensive interdisciplinary treatment. In addition to correct anatomical allocation, the correct timing of the appropriate diagnostics, the timely decision for a possible intervention and the appropriate accompanying treatment are important prerequisites for a favorable prognosis. The basic diagnostics are, above all, neurography and electromyography after a sound clinical examination and documentation.
