Opiate-reduction protocol for common outpatient spinal procedures: a long-term feasibility study and single-center experience
CONCLUSIONS: A standardized discharge protocol for postoperative outpatient spinal procedures can lead to long-term reductions in opioid discharge quantity, without compromising patient safety or increasing the utilization of hospital resources through readmissions, refill requests, or clinic phone calls. This study provides an example of a feasible and effective discharge prescription regimen that may be generalizable to common outpatient neurosurgical procedures with long-term evidence that a small intervention can lead to ongoing reduced quantities of postoperative opioids at the time of discharge.PMID:38669713 | DOI:10...

Renal implications of pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic surgery: mechanisms, risk factors, and preventive strategies
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2024 Apr 26. doi: 10.4097/kja.24011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPneumoperitoneum, which is established for laparoscopic surgery, has systemic implications on the renal system and may contribute to acute kidney injury or postoperative renal dysfunction. Specifically, when the pressure exceeds 10 mmHg, pneumoperitoneum decreases renal blood flow, leading to renal dysfunction and temporary oliguria. The renal effects of pneumoperitoneum stem from both the direct effects of increased intra-abdominal pressure and indirect factors such as carbon dioxide absorption, neuroendocrine influences, and tissue d...

Liver-Directed Locoregional Therapies for Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases: Recent Advances and Management
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 5;31(4):2076-2091. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040154.ABSTRACTNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous class of cancers, predominately occurring in the gastroenteropancreatic system, which pose a growing health concern with a significant rise in incidence over the past four decades. Emerging from neuroendocrine cells, these tumors often elicit paraneoplastic syndromes such as carcinoid syndrome, which can manifest as a constellation of symptoms significantly impacting patients' quality of life. The prognosis of NETs is influenced by their tendency for metastasis, especially in cases involving the l...

Effective bolus dose of remimazolam for i-gel < sup > ® < /sup > insertion in nonparalyzed patients: a dose-finding study
CONCLUSION: Based on the ED95 of remimazolam bolus dose determined in our study, we recommend using 0.182 mg·kg-1 of remimazolam in combination with remifentanil TCI at a Ce of 3.0 ng·mL-1 for successful i-gel insertion without NMBAs in adult patients. This regimen seems effective with a low risk of hemodynamic instability during anesthesia induction.STUDY REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT05298228 ); first submitted 6 March 2022.PMID:38671251 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-024-02762-w (Source: Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia)

Endoscopic endonasal pituitary sacrifice for select tumors with retrochiasmatic and/or retrosellar extension: surgical anatomy, operative technique, and case series
CONCLUSIONS: When preoperative pituitary function is already impaired or the risk for postoperative PH is considered particularly high, the EEPS and transsellar approach appears to be a feasible surgical option to improve visibility and accessibility to the retrochiasmatic hypothalamic and retrosellar spaces, thus increasing tumor resectability.PMID:38669701 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232267 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Longitudinal brain volumetrics in glioma survivors
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated volume loss in contralateral brain structures among LGG survivors, and patients who received RT experienced greater volume loss than those who did not. The results of this study may help to provide context for cognitive outcome research in LGG survivors and inform the design of future strategies to preserve cognition.PMID:38669700 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS231980 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Early versus delayed cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy in traumatic brain injury: a multicenter observational study within CENTER-TBI and Net-QuRe
CONCLUSIONS: Functional outcome and quality of life were similar between early and delayed cranioplasty in patients who had undergone DC for TBI. Neurosurgeons may consider performing cranioplasty during the index admission (early) to simplify the patient's chain of care and prevent readmission for cranioplasty but should be vigilant for an increased possibility of hydrocephalus.

ASCOD phenotyping of acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion treated by mechanical thrombectomy: insight from the PERSIST registry
CONCLUSIONS: The most common etiology in patients with VBAO was atherosclerosis, followed by cardiac pathology and other. Compared to the A1 subgroup, the C1 subgroup showed better functional outcomes, whereas the O1 subgroup showed worse outcomes. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence risk.PMID:38669707 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232508 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Optimal hippocampal targeting in responsive neurostimulation for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: Dual unilateral hippocampal implantation increased RNS contact density in patients with unilateral MTLE, which contributed to improved outcomes, not by stimulating more of the hippocampus, but instead by being more likely to stimulate a latent subtarget in the anterior hippocampus. It remains to be explored whether a single electrode targeted selectively to this region would also result in improved outcomes.PMID:38669705 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.JNS231732 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Evaluation of the extent of resection of intracranial tumors with virtual intraoperative MRI: a case series
CONCLUSIONS: The commercially available virtual iMRI can predict the presence or absence of tumor residual with high sensitivity. The diagnostic accuracy of this method was higher in LGGs and much lower for meningiomas or metastases; these findings must be evaluated in prospective studies in a larger population.PMID:38669708 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232342 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
