Is a small coil more effective as a finishing coil for the embolization of intracranial aneurysms? Outcomes using GALAXY G3™ MINI micro-coils as finishing coils in a single center.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of coil embolization using a 0.009 inches primary outer diameter coil as finishing coil (FC) to that of 0.01 inches.

A Dedicated Neurological Intensive Care Unit Offers Improved Outcomes for Patients With Brain and Spine Injuries.

Background: Admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) specialized for brain and spine injury patients is associated with improved outcome. We investigated the effects of the first dedicated, combined neurological and neurosurgical ICU (NeuroICU) in Korea on patient outcomes.

Methods: The first dedicated NeuroICU in Korea was established in March 2013.
