AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The article describes current scientific views on the predictors of neurological complications caused by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The authors present the results of the study clarifying the most important predictors of stroke and postoperative delirium. The predictive value of preoperative data of neuropsychological testing in the identification of risk factors for postoperative long-term cognitive decline in patients undergoing CABG has been shown.

A novel posterior decompression technique (anterior sliding decompression osteotomy) for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the thoracic spine.
J Neurosurg Spine
January 2025
3Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Haeundae Bumin Hospital, Busan, South Korea.
Objective: Conventional decompression surgery for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the thoracic spine, whether approached anteriorly or posteriorly, poses several challenges, including technical complexity, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, incomplete decompression, and potential neurological deterioration. Therefore, the authors introduce a novel technique, anterior sliding decompression osteotomy (ASDO), for thoracic myelopathy caused by OPLL and evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.
Methods: Six patients (4 men and 2 women) who underwent ASDO surgery for beak-type OPLL in the thoracic spine with a follow-up period of at least 2 years were included in the cohort.
Association between pituitary adenoma consistency, resection techniques, and patient outcomes: a single-institution experience.
J Neurosurg
January 2025
Departments of1Neurological Surgery.
Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the association between pituitary adenoma (PA) consistency and other measurable tumor characteristics, extent of resection (EOR), postoperative complications, and outcomes.
Methods: In total, 507 PA resections were intraoperatively assigned a consistency grade from 1 (cystic/hemorrhagic tumors) to 5 (calcified tumors) based on intraoperative tumor characteristics. Tumor consistency was analyzed in tertiles (grades 1 and 2, grade 3, and grades 4 and 5) to determine associations with tumor characteristics, EOR, recurrence, postoperative outcomes, and complications.
Survival, Tumor Control, and Safety Outcomes of Proton Therapy in Sinonasal Cancer Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Head Neck
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery, Mayo Clinic Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Background: In sinonasal cancer (SNC), treatment with proton therapy (PT) provides excellent local control, especially after gross total resection. Because of the heterogeneity and rarity of this disease site, a comprehensive assessment of toxicity, survival, and control rates is lacking. Our primary objective was to assess the toxicity outcomes of PT in SNC patients, with a secondary aim of assessing survival and tumor control after PT.

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Liv Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey.
Unlabelled: Spondyloenchondrodysplasia (SPENCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized with skeletal dysplasia, immune dysregulation, and neurological impairment. Patients diagnosed with SPENCD at a single pediatric hematology center were included in the study. The patients' clinical characteristics, symptoms at presentation, imaging and laboratory results, and genetic analysis results were collected retrospectively from their files.
