A supervised, externally validated machine learning model for artifact and drainage detection in high-resolution intracranial pressure monitoring data
CONCLUSIONS: Here, the authors developed a well-performing supervised model with external validation that can detect normal signals, artifacts, and drainages in ICP signals from patients in neurocritical care units. For future analyses, this is a powerful tool to discard artifacts or to detect drainage events in ICP monitoring signals.PMID:38489814 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS231670 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Topographical anatomy of the subthalamic region with special interest in the human medial forebrain bundle
CONCLUSIONS: According to this study's findings, the streamlines of the MFB described by tractography arise from the limitations of the diffusion-weighted MRI fiber tracking method and actually correspond to subthalamic fiber bundles, especially the ansa lenticularis and lenticular fasciculus, which erroneously continue in the anterior limb of the internal capsule, toward the prefrontal cortex.PMID:38489821 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232066 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Performance of the IMPACT and CRASH prognostic models for traumatic brain injury in a contemporary multicenter cohort: a TRACK-TBI study
CONCLUSIONS: The IMPACT and CRASH models adequately discriminated mortality and unfavorable outcome. Observed overestimations of mortality and unfavorable outcome underscore the need to update prognostic models to incorporate contemporary changes in TBI management and case-mix. Investigations to elucidate the relationships between increased survival, outcome, treatment intensity, and site-specific practices will be relevant to improve models in specific TBI subpopulations (e.g., older adults), which may benefit from the inclusion of blood-based biomarkers, neuroimaging features, and treatment data.PMID:38489823 | DOI:10.31...

Berberine as a potential enhancer for 5-ALA-mediated fluorescence in glioblastoma: increasing detectability of infiltrating glioma stem cells to optimize 5-ALA-guided surgery
CONCLUSIONS: BBR enhanced 5-ALA-mediated PpIX fluorescence by upregulating and activating ALAS1 through deregulation of negative feedback inhibition by heme. BBR is a clinically used drug with no side effects. BBR is expected to significantly augment fluorescence-guided surgery and photodynamic therapy.PMID:38457785 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS231506 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
