External assessment of preoperative scores for predicting outcome after microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia
CONCLUSIONS: Both the Hardaway and Panczykowski scores may be useful for predicting postoperative pain-free duration in TN patients, and their utility may be greatest when scores are clustered. Continued refinement of both scoring systems will help to improve our ability to predict patient outcomes after MVD.PMID:38669711 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232053 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Correlation of older age with better progression-free survival despite less aggressive resection in nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas
CONCLUSIONS: Older patients with NFPAs treated with ETS demonstrated a longer PFS. Of endocrinological outcomes studied, only male hypogonadism improvement was associated with younger patient age.PMID:38669710 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232495 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Long-term efficacy of microendoscopic laminotomy for lumbar spinal stenosis in advanced degenerative spondylolisthesis with or without dynamic spinal instability: a propensity score-matching analysis
CONCLUSIONS: MEL may have good long-term results in patients with DS without dynamic instability. Women with dynamic instability may require additional fusion surgery in approximately 25% of cases for a period of ≥ 5 years.PMID:38669704 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE231075 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Barriers to overlapping complex and general spine surgery at a tertiary academic hospital
CONCLUSIONS: The data in this study indicate that estimates for pre- and postsurgical times alone are not sufficient to allow for overlapping surgery. The average cut-time duration of ACDF was 84 minutes; the average presurgical time for deformity was 68 minutes. This highlights the critical analysis for further examination of optimal scheduling, on-time first start, turnover periods, and the orchestration of all members of the providing team to optimize the cutting time for safe and consistent implementation of overlapping spine surgery.PMID:38669714 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE23771 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

A case report of a distal radius fracture treated with a dorsal spanning plate augmented with fragment specific fixation
We present a 43-year-old man who fell 5 ft onto his outstretched right hand. On examination, there was gross swelling and tenderness of the right wrist with no neurovascular deficit. Radiographs confirmed a comminuted intra-articular displaced distal radius fracture. He was treated with a dorsal spanning plate fixation combined with radiostyloid and volar buttress plates. Follow-up at 2 months showcased intact hardware with good fracture healing. The dorsal spanning plate was removed 4 months after the procedure with radiographs demonstrating adequate alignment and healing without failure. The patient reported no complaint...

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...

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: Atherosclerosis)

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)

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...

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)
