Survival Analysis of Patients Undergoing Intraoperative Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound in the Surgical Treatment of Malignant Glioma
ConclusionICEUS facilitates the identification of residual tumors. Age and ICEUS are prognostic factors for malignant glioma surgery, and use of ICEUS offers a better prognosis for patients with malignant glioma.

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1543: Predicting Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Status in Non-Contrast-Enhanced Adult-Type Astrocytic Tumors Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging and 11C-Methionine, 11C-Choline, and 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET

We aimed to differentiate the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status among non-enhanced astrocytic tumors using preoperative MRI and PET. We analyzed 82 patients with non-contrast-enhanced, diffuse, supratentorial astrocytic tumors (IDH mutant [IDH-mut], 55 patients; IDH-wildtype [IDH-wt], 27 patients) who underwent MRI and PET between May 2012 and December 2022. We calculated the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values using diffusion tensor imaging. We evaluated the tumor/normal brain uptake (T/N) ratios using 11C-methionine, 11C-choline, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET; extracte...

Uptake and 4-week quit rates from an opt-out co-located smoking cessation service delivered alongside community-based low-dose computed tomography screening within the Yorkshire Lung Screening Trial
Extract
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer has been shown to reduce lung cancer-specific mortality in two large, randomised trials [1, 2], and implementation of screening is currently underway in many high- and middle-income countries [3]. Of those people responding to an invitation for lung cancer screening and subsequently eligible, between 30% and 50% are currently smoking [4, 5]. Evidence of the impact of screening alone on smoking cessation rates in randomised trials is mixed. Three studies have compared quit rates in participants randomised to LDCT screening versus a non-screened control gr...

Rare vermian pilocytic astrocytoma with recurrent spontaneous hemorrhage in the elderly: A case report and review of literature
CONCLUSION: PA in the elderly is a rare disease with distinct histologic and genetic peculiarities. This case review showed one of the oldest cases of cerebellar vermian PA presenting with recurrent spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage, an extremely rare occurrence in benign glioma. Although complete surgical excision is recommended, partial resection is advocated for morbidly adherent tumors. Overall prognosis is worse in elderly PA.PMID:38628526 | PMC:PMC11021065 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_978_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Primary extranodal marginal zone mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type B-cell lymphoma involving the dura: A case report
CONCLUSION: EMZMBCL is a rare disease that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subdural lesions, especially when there is no history of trauma or abnormalities in the coagulation system. The patient had a favorable outcome after selecting radiotherapy as the adjuvant therapy.PMID:38628522 | PMC:PMC11021089 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_792_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Analysis of prognostic factors and the role of epilepsy in neurosurgical patients with brain metastases
CONCLUSION: Our study has highlighted prognostically favorable patient and tumor factors. Among those, a clinical onset with epileptic seizures can help identify brain metastasis hitherto silent. This could lead to immediate diagnostic-therapeutic interventions with more aggressive therapies after appropriate multidisciplinary evaluation.PMID:38628515 | PMC:PMC11021078 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_735_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Cortical incisions and transcortical approaches for intra-axial and intraventricular lesions: A scoping review
CONCLUSION: Transcortical approaches are crucial techniques for managing a wide range of intracranial lesions, with the transcortical-transtemporal approach being the most common. According to the current literature, the selective choice of cortical incision and surgical corridor based on the lesion's pathology and anatomic-functional location correlates with acceptable functional outcomes.PMID:38628541 | PMC:PMC11021096 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_58_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
