Relationship between brain tumors and intracranial aneurysms: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of evidence to affirm that the existence of brain neoplasm plays a role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, there is insufficient evidence to confirm a greater prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in individuals with brain tumors. The association of these two disorders does not appear to worsen patient outcome. Prognosis depends on tumor pathology for malignant cases and on subarachnoid hemorrhage in patients with ruptured aneurysms.PMID:38650567 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43614-23.4 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

CONCLUSION: The results obtained in the present study reveal that in case of implant-dependent infection, the first sample taken can be checked for slime factor, and if there is infection with slime factor-negative bacterium, treatment without removing the implant may be recommended. S. aureus was used in the study because it is the most common cause of implant-related infection at surgical sites. Further studies using different bacterial species are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.PMID:38650565 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43753-23.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Health-related quality of life of patients with postural kyphosis compared to spinal deformities in adolescence: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: HRQoL of patients with PK is reduced, similar to that of patients with common structural spine deformities. Recognizing the effects of PK on the HRQoL in adolescents can help physicians to treat these patients.PMID:38650564 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43440-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Comparison of the Use of Peripheral Nerve Stimulator and Quincke Needle for Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections
CONCLUSION: The Stimuplex needle may decrease the possibility of inadvertent intravascular leakages during TFESI and may also improve immediate pain scores after the procedure.PMID:38650563 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43946-23.4 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)
