Microvascular decompression is considered a first-line treatment in classical trigeminal neuralgia. Teflon is the material commonly used. The use of autologous muscle has been occasionally reported.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has emerged as a valuable liquid biopsy source for glioma biomarker discovery and validation. CSF produced within the ventricles circulates through the subarachnoid space, where the composition of glioma-derived analytes is influenced by the proximity and anatomical location of sampling relative to tumor, in addition to underlying tumor biology. The substantial gradients observed between lumbar and intracranial CSF compartments for tumor-derived analytes underscore the importance of sampling site selection.

Method: As genetic and environmental factors interactively impact these conditions, we investigated how risk factors such as APOE genotype, age, and sex influence immune activation markers and AD biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in elderly individuals enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging cohort. Among cognitively unimpaired individuals aged over 65 at the baseline visit (N=298), we measured 365 CSF immune activation markers using the proximity extension assay.

Background: Plasma and cerebrospinal (CSF) biomarkers are promising candidates for detecting neuropathology. While CSF biomarkers directly reflect pathophysiological processes within the central nervous system, their requirement for a lumbar puncture is a barrier to their widespread scalability in practice. Therefore, we examined cross-sectional associations of plasma biomarkers of amyloid (Aβ42/Aβ40 and pTau-181), neurodegeneration (Neurofilament Light, NfL), and neuroinflammation (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, GFAP) with brain volume, cognition, and their corresponding CSF levels.

Background: Existing biomarkers including cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis are relatively invasive and expensive. Application of exhaled breath collection and volatile organic compound (VOC) detection for AD diagnosis remains unclear.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, high-pressure photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPPI-ToF-MS) was used to detect VOCs from breath in three datasets and patients diagnosed as Parkinson's disease (PD).
