Intracranial pressure monitor insertion in traumatic brain injury: a single center, retrospective decision process analysis

This is a retrospective, single centre, observational study including adult TBI patients consecutively admitted to our Neurointensive Care Unit over 20 years. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify potential factors associated with the decision for ICP monitor insertion. A decision tree was developed to identify the combination of factors with the highest statistical power to predict the decision for ICP monitor insertion.

The decision to insert an invasive ICP monitoring in patients with TBI is multifactorial. Among the different factors analysed in our cohort of TBI patients, prognostication factors as for IMPACT score and in particular CT findings could potentially explain the decision making for ICP monitoring.

All-cause and tumor-specific mortality trends in elderly primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients: a surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) analysis

Recent primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) literature indicates that younger patients benefit from improved survival; however, this benefit is not shared by those 70+ years of age. The purpose of this study was to examine mortality trends in PCNSL patients 70+ years of age to better understand why improved prognosis has not yet reached this rapidly growing population subset.

Minimal clinically meaningful improvements in elderly PCNSL patient all-cause and tumor-specific mortality have been made since 1973, while the best predictors of longevity include younger age and surgery.

Q-ball high-resolution fiber tractography of language associated tracts: quantitative evaluation of applicability for glioma resections

To date, fiber tractography (FT) is predominantly based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI)-based reconstructions have become a focus of interest, enabling the resolution of intravoxel fiber crossing. However, experience with high resolution tractography (HRFT) for neurosurgical applications is still limited to a few reports. This prospectively designed feasibility study shares our initial experience using an analytical q-ball approach (QBI) for FT of language-associated pathways in comparison with DTI-FT, focussing on a quantitative analysis and evaluation of its applicability in clinical routine.

QBI proved to be suitable for an application in the neurosurgical setting without additional expense for the patient. Quantitative analysis of FT reveals larger overall TV, longer TL with lower TD using QBI compared with DTI, suggesting the better depiction of marginal and terminal fibers according to neuroanatomical knowledge. This emphasizes the known limitation of DTI to underestimate the dimensions of a pathway. Rather than relying on DTI, sophisticated HRFT techniques should be considered for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance in selected cases of eloquent glioma surgery.

The "STARS" study: advanced preoperative rehearsal and intraoperative navigation in neurosurgical oncology

Neurosurgical 3D visualizers and simulators are innovative devices capable of defining a surgical strategy in advance and possibly making neurosurgery safer by rehearsing the phases of the operation beforehand. The aim of this study is to evaluate Surgical Theater™ (Surgical Theater LLC, Mayfield, OH, USA), a new 3D neurosurgical planning, simulation, and navigation system, and qualitatively assess its use in the operating room.

Surgical Theater™ system was found to be clinically useful in improving anatomical understanding, surgical planning, and intraoperative navigation, especially for younger and less experienced neurosurgeons.

Cape Town hosted the 18th World Congress of Neurosurgery from the 4th to the 8th of December 2023.

The aim of the Congress was to promote diversity, inclusivity, and representation in all its forms and the central theme for the meeting was “Ubuntu”, the African philosophy popularised by the late Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In short, it translates as ‘I am because we are’.

It is the idea that our destinies are inextricably linked, that in each other we find our common humanity and purpose. In a world where individuals and groups seem increasingly at odds with each other and pulling in different directions, we remind ourselves that we are bound together, that the collective is more important than the individual, and that we can do more together than we can apart.

A brief history of the JNSS

The Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences (JNSS) was established in 1957 by Edizioni Minerva Medica, an Italian publishing house based in Turin.

Ever since its founding, its focus has been on publishing valuable clinical and preclinical research on neurosurgery and related subjects, and today it has become one of the leading journals in Neurosurgery in Europe.

Its scientific importance is also highlighted by its presence in several international indexes, such as EMBASE, e-psyche, Neuroscience Citation Index, PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch), and Scopus.

The JNSS publishes six issues per year, and the most discusses subjects are general neurosurgery, spine surgery, neuro-oncology, pediatric neurosurgery, neuroradiosurgery, functional neurosurgery and pain, neurophysiology and epilepsy, peripheral nerve surgery, neuroendoscopy, neuroradiology, neurovascular surgery, neurotraumatology, and neuroanesthesiology.
