Frailty predicts non-home discharge in anterior lumbar interbody fusion patients
CONCLUSIONS: Frailty, as measured by mFI-5 and RAI-rev, was associated with an increased likelihood of NHD in patients who underwent ALIF. This finding supports recent literature on the promising utility of these indices, especially the RAI-rev, in preoperative decision-making across multiple facets of neurosurgery.PMID:38451062 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.24.06179-4 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences)

Pycnogenol ® improves cognitive function in post-stroke patients: a 6 month-study
CONCLUSIONS: In post-stroke subjects, Pycnogenol® supplementation resulted in better recovery outcome and faster COFU 'normalization' after the stroke in comparison with SM; it can be considered a safe, manageable post-stroke, adjuvant management possibly reducing local brain edema. Nevertheless, more patients and a longer period of evaluation are needed to confirm these results.PMID:38299491 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.22.05855-6 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences)
