Haemorrhagic Complications After Microsurgical Treatment for Intracranial Aneurysms Under Acetylsalicylic Acid: An Impact Analysis.

Background: Patients with intracranial aneurysms often have comorbidities that require them to take acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). In recent years, many patients with aneurysms have been prescribed ASA to prevent aneurysm enlargement. ASA is also prescribed to patients with intracranial aneurysms in preparation for surgical revascularization.

The impact of visual and motor skills on ideational apraxia and transcortical sensory aphasia.

Background: Patients with extensive left hemisphere damage frequently have ideational apraxia (IA) and transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA). Difficulty with action coordination, phonological processing, and complex motor planning may not be indicative of higher-order motor programming or higher-order complex formation. We report on the effects of IA and TSA on the visual and motor skill of stroke patients.

Understanding anterior communicating artery aneurysms: A bibliometric analysis of top 100 most cited articles.

Bibliometric analysis is of paramount importance in assessing the research impact wherein studies are ranked on the basis of citations received. It also brings out the excellent contribution of authors and journals in adding evidence for future research. This study aimed at evaluating the top 100 most cited articles on anterior communicating artery (ACoA) Aneurysms.

Bibliometric Analysis of Major Neurosurgical Publications 2011-2020, Part 2: Journal, Author, Yearly Publication Trends, and Citation Related Metrics.

Background: Scientometrics, a subfield of bibliometrics, examines scientific publications by using bibliometric methods. The aim of a scientometric study is to study the various citation-based metrics of scientific articles, such as parameters pertaining to authors (including institutions and country of origin), articles, journals, and other citation related metrics.

Objective: In this second part of our scientometric analysis of the 6 major neurosurgical journals from 2011-2020, we study journal and author trends, yearly publication trends, and citation related metrics in , , , , , and

Methods: We analyzed parameters, including article and journal metrics (total articles published per journal per year, breakdown of the Bradford's law distribution of journals, and Lotka's law, journal impact factors), author metrics (country of origin, collaborations), citation totals, and keyword counts.

Cognitive deficits and memory impairments after COVID-19 (Covishield) vaccination.

Vaccination is an essential public health strategy to control the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines far outweigh the risks, side effects continue to be reported in the literature. We report a 65-year-old man who developed cognitive deficits and memory impairments following his first dose of Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine (Covishield).

Skull Base Approaches for Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas: Institutional Experience in a Series of 34 Patients.

(1) Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate our institutional outcome in tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) patients treated microsurgically using multiple skull base approaches, including a transcranial approach and an extended endonasal transsphenoidal approach. (2) Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study that includes 34 patients with TSM. The study aimed to observe the efficacy of the different common approaches used by a single neurosurgeon.

The perplexing postsurgical complication of carotid-jugular fistula: A bitter experience.

Background: Vascular injuries occur in approximately 25% of all penetrating neck traumas, with carotid artery injuries being particularly lethal. Penetrating neck injuries are potentially fatal. Vascular injuries occur in approximately 25% of cases, which can lead to the formation of arteriovenous fistulas.

Bibliometric Analysis of Publications From 2011-2020 in 6 Major Neurosurgical Journals (Part 1): Geographic, Demographic, and Article Type Trends.

Introduction: Scientometrics is a subfield of bibliometrics that statistically analyzes publications trends. The aim of this initial study was to investigate trends in the 6 major neurosurgical journals from the last 10 years.

Methods: We searched Web of Science and Scopus for articles published in Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, Operative Neurosurgery, and World Neurosurgery from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2020.

PiWi RNA in Neurodevelopment and Neurodegenerative Disorders.

The discovery of the mysterious dark matter of the genome expands our understanding of modern biology. Beyond the genome, the epigenome reveals a hitherto unknown path of key biological and functional gene control activities. Extraordinary character-P element wimpy testis-induced (PiWi)-interacting RNA (piRNA) is a type of small non-coding RNA that acts as a defender by silencing nucleic and structural invaders.
