Rare Sagittal Compensatory Balance in Neuromuscular Scoliosis Complicated by Hydrocephalus: A Case Report
CONCLUSION: In future cases of complex spinal deformity, it is important to observe whether there is cerebral ventricular dilatation on MRI before the operation. If severe thoracic lordosis is combined with lumbar scoliosis, over-correcting the lumbar scoliosis should be avoided to prevent shoulder imbalance.PMID:38430152 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Neuronal pentraxin 2 correlates with neurodegeneration but not cognition in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH)
CONCLUSIONS: While CSF NPTX2 values correlate with neurodegeneration, they do not correlate with cognitive or functional measures in iNPH. CSF NPTX2 cannot serve as a predictor of either short-term or long-term improvement after CSF drainage.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These results suggest that synaptic degeneration is not a core feature of iNPH pathophysiology.PMID:38393959 | DOI:10.5603/pjnns.98212 (Source: Neurologia i Neurochirurgia Polska)

Cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery reduces the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer ’s disease in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a nationwide population-based propensity-weighted cohort study
ConclusionCSF shunt surgery is associated with reduced risks of the subsequent development of dementia and AD in iNPH patients. Our findings may provide valuable information for assessing the benefit-to-risk profile of CSF shunt surgery. (Source: Fluids and Barriers of the CNS)
