In 46 STN-DBS patients, intraoperative stimulation sites differed from chronic optimal contacts by ~2 mm and did not predict one-year motor outcomes. Imaging-guided targeting achieved comparable results, supporting simplified DBS workflows.

Meta-analysis of 39 studies on sacral/mobile spine chordomas: Proton beam therapy improves survival vs. conventional RT. Radical resections for negative margins didn’t boost survival and worsened QoL. Progress in radiotherapy noted, but surgery/systemic roles remain uncertain.

👁 Ionizing radiation therapy can compromise the visual acuity of the affected eye and improve dyschromatopsia and campimetry defects. The life prognosis is good for these patients, with a zero mortality rate, but their vision prognosis is poor.

🧠 Serum substance P is strongly associated with the severity of cerebral edema after TBI.
🧠 Brain-specific gravity does not directly correlate with posttraumatic cerebral edema severity.
🧠 Serum substance P does not influence the clinical outcome of traumatic brain injury.

Thx to @worldnsx for highlighting this crucial finding- frailty, using RAI (risk analysis index) predicts death after a major complication better than mFI-5 or old age #frailtyfighter @HurleyMedical @MINeuroSurgeons

[World Neurosurgery: X @WorldNSX]

🔹When a major complication arises after neurosurgical procedures, frail patients have a higher likelihood of dying within 30 days than their non-frail counterparts.

➡️ Spinal CAPNON are most commonly lumbar and extradural in location, with pain as the most common presenting symptom.
➡️ Lesions are well-defined and hypointense on T1 and T2 MRI sequence.
➡️ The majority of cases had near complete resolution of pain and associated symptoms.

🧠 The majority of EDHPF can be treated safely with conservative management. Measures to avoid an increase in intracranial venous pressures are key to success in conservative therapy. Indications for surgical evacuation should be considered on an individual basis.
