Insular glioma surgery: an evolution of thought and practice.
CONCLUSIONSThe insula's proximity to middle cerebral and lenticulostriate arteries, primary motor areas, and perisylvian language areas makes accessing and resecting gliomas in this region challenging. Maximal safe resection of insular gliomas not only is possible but also is associated with excellent outcomes and should be considered for all patients with low- and high-grade gliomas in this area.

Evaluating Spelling in Glioma Patients Undergoing Awake Surgery: a Systematic Review
AbstractA main goal of awake surgery is to preserve language in order to facilitate return to work and maintain quality of life. Although spelling has become crucial in daily life, it has received little attention in awake surgery practice. We review assessments of spelling carried out in awake surgery studies, to inspect how current neurofunctional theories of spelling may guide pre-, intra- and post-operative neurosurgical practice. A systematic database search in Embase, Medline, PubMed and Web of Science identified studies reporting on spelling assessment in glioma patients undergoing awake surgery. Twenty-three studie...

Hotspots of small strokes in glioma surgery: an overlooked risk?
ConclusionDeep small infarcts are commonly found after glioma surgery, but their actual impact in terms of patients ’ quality of life remains to be demonstrated. Further studies are needed to better evaluate the cognitive consequences—if any—for each of the described hotspots and to identify risk factors other than the surgery-induced damage of microvessels.

Features of diffuse gliomas that are misdiagnosed on initial neuroimaging: a case control study
ConclusionSeveral clinical and radiologic metrics are associated with diffuse gliomas that are missed or misdiagnosed on the initial neuroimaging study. Knowledge of these associations may aid in avoiding misinterpretation and accurately diagnosing such cases in clinical practice.

Targeting pericytes for therapeutic approaches to neurological disorders
AbstractMany central nervous system diseases currently lack effective treatment and are often associated with defects in microvascular function, including a failure to match the energy supplied by the blood to the energy used on neuronal computation, or a breakdown of the blood–brain barrier. Pericytes, an u nder-studied cell type located on capillaries, are of crucial importance in regulating diverse microvascular functions, such as angiogenesis, the blood–brain barrier, capillary blood flow and the movement of immune cells into the brain. They also form part of the “glial” scar isolating damaged parts of the CN...

Functional brain mapping: overview of techniques and their application to neurosurgery
This article reviews the physical principles, applications, merits, shortcomings, and latest developments of nine FBM techniques. Other than neurosurgical operations, these techniques have also been applied to studies of stroke, Alzheimer’s, and cognition. There are strong indications that the future of brain mapping shall see the non-invasive techniques playing a more dominant role as they become more sensitive and accurate due to advances in physics, refined algorithms, and subsequent validation against invas ive techniques.

Targeting nitric oxide and NMDA receptor-associated pathways in treatment of high grade glial tumors. Hypotheses for nitro-memantine and nitrones
Publication date: Available online 13 October 2017Source: Nitric OxideAuthor(s): Meric A. Altinoz, İlhan ElmaciAbstractGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a devastating brain cancer with no curative treatment. Targeting Nitric Oxide (NO) and glutamatergic pathways may help as adjunctive treatments in GBM. NO at low doses promotes tumorigenesis, while at higher levels (above 300 nM) triggers apoptosis. Gliomas actively secrete high amounts of glutamate which activates EGR signaling and mediates degradation of peritumoral tissues via excitotoxic injury. Memantine inhibits NMDA-subtype of glutamate receptors (NMDARs) and induc...
