Assessment of Myocardial Function by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Our results suggest that GLS is associated with stroke severity on admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke. GLS is an indicator of myocardial deformation with a different from LVEF. GLS can detect early myocardial dysfunction despite preserved LVEF. (Source: Neurology India)

Anti-Seizure Monotherapy and Early Abortion Under Real-World Conditions
Conclusions: Although the sample size of our study was small, these results indicate that the use of anti-seizure monotherapy in pregnant epilepsy patients may not increase the risk of early miscarriage. Larger prospective studies are needed for sufficient statistical analysis. (Source: Neurology India)

Effects of Serum Cholesterol on Severity of Stroke and Dosage of Statins on Functional Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: It was found that serum cholesterol levels were inversely related to the stroke severity. However, a higher the dose of statins resulted in better functional outcome and survival in post-stroke patients, possibly due to its neuroprotective effect. (Source: Neurology India)

Role of Cavernous Sinus Extension and MRI T2 Hypointensity in the Extent of Resection following Trans-Sphenoidal Surgery for Giant Pituitary Adenomas
Conclusions: Most cases of GPA can be adequately handled by trans-sphenoidal surgery. The presence of retrosellar, subfrontal, cavernous sinus extensions, and T2 hypointensity should alert the surgeon for likelihood of STR, postoperative residual tumor hemorrhage and need for second-stage endonasal or transcranial surgery. However, utilization of extended endoscopic route has allowed good debulking of tumors having subfrontal and parasellar extensions, which was not possible previously using traditional microscopic transsphenoidal surgery.

Measuring the Delay in the Referral of Unstable Vertebral Metastasis to the Spine Surgeon: A Retrospective Study in a Latin American Institution
Conclusion: We report a mean delay of 83.5 days in the surgical referral of VM (SINS >6, n = 98). Both groups showed cases of serious referral delay, with 25% of patients having the first surgical consultation more than three months after the CT study. (Source: Neurology India)

Topical Vancomycin for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection in Cranial Surgeries: Results of an Updated Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression
Conclusion: The limited systemic absorption of vancomycin and broad-spectrum led to its widespread applicability in the prevention of SSI in all types of cranial neurosurgery. Cases with implantable pulse generators, cranioplasty, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedures have all demonstrated their unequivocal effectiveness. (Source: Neurology India)
