Infection
November 2024
Division of Neonatology, Department of Women's and Children's Health, University of Leipzig Medical Center, Liebigstraße 20a, 04103, Leipzig, Germany.
Purpose: Ureaplasma species (spp.) are relevant contributors to preterm birth but may also cause invasive infections particularly in very immature preterm infants. This study aimed to assess the incidence of neonatal Ureaplasma infections of the central nervous system (CNS).

Dr. Asif Bashir, MD, FAANS, FACS Professor of Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery Unit-I, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
Objectives: To evaluate the precision and safety of a novel technique of free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions in a low-middle income country.
Methods: This retrospective study included 45 patients who underwent free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions using the Medtronic-Stealth S7 system over a 5-year period (January 2019 to December 2023) at the Department of Neurosurgery, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
Results: A total of 45 patients were included in this study.

Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Wayne State University, 6135 Woodward Avenue, Rm 1413, Detroit, MI, 48202, USA.
Background: Hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain, is often treated via a shunt system to divert the excess CSF to a different compartment; if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications and permanent brain damage. It is estimated that one in every 500 people are born with hydrocephalus. Despite more than 60 years of concerted efforts, shunts still have the highest failure rate of any neurological device requiring follow-up shunt revision surgeries and contributing to the $2 billion cost of hydrocephalus care in the US alone.

Childs Nerv Syst
December 2024
Pediatric Neurosurgery, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Virchow Klinikum, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353, Berlin, Germany.
Objective: Endoscopic third ventriculocisternostomy (ETV) became the relevant treatment option for non-communicating pediatric hydrocephalus. ETV success was predicted in relation to age, diagnosis, and previous shunt implantation. Radiological factors are usually taken for indication decision-making.
