Osteochondroma With Odd Clinical and Radiological Presentation.

Osteochondroma is a cartilage-capped bony projection arising on the external surface of the bone, containing a marrow cavity continuous with that of the underlying bone. This benign tumor develops within the metaphysis of long bones. The growth is directed away from the growing end of long bones.

Evaluating CAPO®: A biocompatibility, transparency, and fitment assessment for use with CEREBO® in traumatic intracranial injury detection.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a global concern affecting millions of patients, requiring robust infection prevention and control measures. In particular, patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are highly susceptible to nosocomial infections, emphasizing the importance of infection control. Non-invasive near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device, CEREBO® integrated with a disposable component CAPO® has emerged as a valuable tool for TBI patient triage and this study evaluated the safety and efficacy of this combination.

Neurovascular Structures at Risk During Surgical Access to Trigeminal Ganglion and Meckel's Cave - An Anatomical Study.

Background: It is difficult to approach the Trigeminal Ganglion (TG) and Meckel's cave (MC) during surgeries. Therefore, the exact knowledge of the relationship of surgical landmarks to related anatomical structures is vital to reduce the associated postoperative morbidity. The aim of the present study was to enhance the knowledge of the surgical anatomy of structures that are present in the conduit of all surgical approaches to TG and MC, their distances from surrounding neurovascular structures, and their variations.

Endoscopy-Assisted Microneurosurgery for Sella and Optic Foramen Invading Anterior Cranial Fossa Base Meningiomas.

Background: Anterior skull base meningioma produces symptoms as a result of mass effect and neurovascular compression. The bony anatomy of the anterior skull base is complex and houses the critical cranial nerves and vessels. Traditional microscopic approaches remove these tumors effectively but require extensive brain retraction and bone drilling.

Clinical and Radiological Characteristics for Recurrence of Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is one of the most studied clinical entities in the neurosurgical literature. Management of cSDH is complicated by its propensity to recurrence. Various factors for the development of recurrence of cSDH have been described in various clinical, epidemiological, and observational studies, yet the evidence available is limited.

Obesity as a predictor of outcome following traumatic brain injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Obesity adversely affects the outcome in trauma patients. However, the impact of obesity on the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and outcomes is not well known. This study aimed to explore the impact of obesity/body mass index on the severity and outcomes following TBI.

A scoping review to understand the indications, effectiveness, and limitations of cabergoline in radiological and biochemical remission of prolactinomas.

Cabergoline has long been used in the medical management of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. However, there is contradicting and inadequate evidence on the efficacy of cabergoline in achieving radiological and biochemical remission in prolactinoma. This article presents scoping review of evidence in cabergoline achieving radiological and biochemical remission in cases of prolactinoma.

Non-dysraphic extramedullary intradural spinal lipoma with neurocutaneous melanocytosis.

Introduction: Intradural spinal lipomas are very rare and constitute less than 1% of all spinal tumors. Such tumors are usually associated with spinal dysraphism and occur mostly in the lumbosacral or cervical region. Intradural spinal lipomas tends to be intramedullary or subpial.

Enigma of what is Known about Intracranial Aneurysm Occlusion with Endovascular Devices.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid Hemorrhage is a major cause of neurological morbidity and mortality. Over the years vascular neurosurgery has witnessed technological advances aimed to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Several endovascular devices have been used in clinical practice to achieve this goal in the management of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

Heart Rate Variability as a Predictor of Mortality in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To systematically review the medical literature to determine the utility of heart rate variability in predicting mortality for moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.

Methods: A search for randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized trials, and prospective and retrospective cohort studies was carried out using PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and EMBASE. Reference lists of included studies were also searched to identify potentially eligible studies.

Role of Music Therapy in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: Music therapy has promising results in improving rehabilitation outcomes of patients with various neurologic disorders; however, its effectiveness in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not clear.

Methods: A search that compared the effect of music therapy as rehabilitation to controls in motor and cognitive outcomes in patients with TBI was carried out. The outcome of interest were gait velocity, stride length, and cadence to determine the motor outcome.

A Botrytis cinerea KLP-7 Kinesin acts as a Virulence Determinant during Plant Infection.

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen that infects many important crops. In an attempt to unravel some novel factors that govern pathogenicity in B. cinerea, Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation (ATMT) was deployed, and a number of tagged transformants were generated.
