Neural Interface-Based Motor Neuroprosthesis in Poststroke Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation: An Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of neural interface-based neurorehabilitation, including brain-computer interface, through conventional and individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis and to assess clinical parameters associated with positive response to neural interface-based neurorehabilitation.

Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases up to February 2022 were reviewed.

Study Selection: Studies using neural interface-controlled physical effectors (functional electrical stimulation and/or powered exoskeletons) and reported Fugl-Meyer Assessment-upper-extremity (FMA-UE) scores were identified.

Modeling the Properties of White Matter Tracts Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging to Characterize Patterns of Injury in Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively novel magnetic resonance-based imaging methodology that can provide valuable insight into the microstructure of white matter tracts of the brain. In this paper, we evaluated the reliability and reproducibility of deriving a semi-automated pseudo-atlas DTI tractography method vs. standard atlas-based analysis alternatives, for use in clinical cohorts with neurodegeneration and ventriculomegaly.

Incidence of biomarkers in high-grade gliomas and their impact on survival in a diverse SouthEast Asian cohort - a population-based study.

Background: Gliomas consist of a heterogeneous group of tumors. This study aimed to report the incidences of O-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation, 1p19q co-deletion, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutations, and inactivating mutations of alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) in high-grade gliomas in an ethnically diverse population.

Methods: Records of patients who underwent surgery for high-grade gliomas from January 2013 to March 2017 at our institution were obtained.

Effects of surgery on neurocognitive function in patients with glioma: a meta-analysis of immediate post-operative and long-term follow-up neurocognitive outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the neuropsychological tests commonly used for assessment in each neurocognitive domain, and quantify the post-operative changes in neurocognitive function in the immediate post-operation and follow-up.

Methods: With the use of the PubMed, a comprehensive search of the English literature was performed following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. There were 1021 publications identified for screening.
