Introduction: Bone mineral density (BMD) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating various systemic chronic diseases. Patients with multiple or singular spinal metastasis (SM) are typically in advanced stages of systemic cancer, often leading to significant alterations in BMD. The present study investigated the prognostic value of perioperative Hounsfield units (HU) as a surrogate independent marker for estimated BMD in patients with SM after surgical treatment (ST).

Such metastases can either develop concurrently with an existing cancer diagnosis (termed metachronous SM) or emerge as the initial indication of an undiagnosed malignancy (referred to as synchronous SM). The present study investigates the prognostic implications of synchronous compared to metachronous SM following surgical resection.

- This study examines the optimal timing for cranioplasty (CP) following decompressive craniectomy (DC), focusing on its impact on patient safety and outcomes.
- A retrospective analysis included 271 patients, finding that a CP performed within 149 days post-DC significantly improved patient recovery as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
- The research concluded that late CP is safe and that better outcomes are tied to additional rehabilitation efforts rather than the timing of the cranioplasty itself.
Introduction: Angiogram-negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (AN-SAH) accounts for 5-15% of spontaneous SAH. This study aims to analyze the frequency and characteristics of spinal bleeding sources in patients with AN-SAH.
Methods: 140 patients suffering from AN-SAH treated at our institution from 2012 to 2022 were included in this retrospective cohort study.
