Deep Brain Stimulation for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Review of the Experimental and Clinical Literature
Conclusions: PTSD is the only potential clinical indication for DBS that shows extensive animal researchprior to human applications. Nevertheless, DBS for PTSD remains highly investigational. Despite several years of government funding of DBS research in view of treating severe PTSD in combat veterans, ethical dilemmas, recruitment difficulties, and issues related to use of DBS in such a complex and heterogenous disorder remain prevalent.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery System: A Preliminary Analysis of Clinical Applications within a Retrospective Case Series
Conclusion: This preliminary assessment of the first series of patients treated with the Zap-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery system documents its overall feasibility in clinical applications. Although the duration of follow-up was brief, GRS appeared to be both safe and effective. Additional analysis, with an ongoing prospective registry, is underway.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Mask-Based versus Frame-Based Gamma Knife ICON Radiosurgery in Brain Metastases: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Conclusion: In selected patients, with brain oligo-metastases out of critical location, single-dose mask-based GKS can be done with a comfort and a safety efficacy comparable to frame-based GKS. There seems to be no clear patient data that confirm the value of the mask system with regards to comfort.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Anterior Nucleus of Thalamus Deep Brain Stimulation: A Clinical-Based Analysis of the Ideal Target in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy
Conclusions: A relationship between stimulated contacts ’ coordinates and responder status was observed in drug-resistant epilepsy. The possibility to target different locations inside HELIA may help surpass anatomical variations and eventually obtain increased clinical benefit.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Use of Topical Vancomycin Powder to Reduce Surgical Site Infections after Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery: UCSF Experience and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Surgical infections after DBS surgery are uncommon events, with studies demonstrating mixed results on whether topical vancomycin reduces this risk. Our single-institution retrospective analysis and systematic review of prior studies both demonstrated no significant SSI rate reduction with topical VP. This is likely due to low baseline SSI rates, resulting in a small effect size for prevention. Given the cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and low risk, topical, intrawound VP remains a treatment option to further reduce risk of SSI, particularly in settings with higher baseline infection rates.Stereotact Funct Neur...

Multicenter Validation of Individual Preoperative Motor Outcome Prediction for Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson ’s Disease
Conclusion: Proving generalizability and feasibility of preoperative STN DBS outcome prediction in an external multicenter cohort is an important step in creating clinical impact in DBS with data-driven tools. Future prospective studies are required to overcome several inherent practical and statistical limitations of including clinical decision support systems in DBS care.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Is Real-Time Inverse Planning Optimizing Dose to the Normal Brain? A Prospective Comparative Trial in a Series of Brain Metastases Treated by Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Conclusion: This IP demonstrated its capacity to generate multi-target plans rapidly, with a dose to the brain (V10) and BOT noninferior to the one of a human expert planner. These results would benefit from confirmation in a larger prospective series.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)
