Pre-selection blade size choice for the microsurgical clipping of cerebral artery aneurysms: A numerical study J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Pavel Buchvald, Lukas Capek
Brain strokes comprise the third leading cause of death worldwide. Microsurgical clipping is recognized as being one of the most effective approaches to the treatment of brain aneurysms. The incomplete closure of the distal-side aneurysm neck is the most common cause of the persistent filling of the dome. Since the diameter of the neck increases when the neck of the aneurysm is squeezed closed by the

Prognostic value of geriatric nutritional risk index in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-02 Wenxiu Yu, Hongfen Wang, Mao Li, Fei Yang, Jiongming Bai, Han Song, Xusheng Huang
The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a prognostic indicator for several diseases, meanwhile, nutrition and inflammation play important roles in the disease progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the association between the GNRI and ALS remains unknown. 443 patients diagnosed with ALS were divided into two groups based on the GNRI levels. Associations between GNRI and

Spinal intradural microsurgery in a nascent neurosurgical department: Lessons learned from the first 25 cases J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Henry Pesach Shapiro, Hamzeh Zaghal, Nevo Margalit, Iddo Paldor, Yair Barzilay, Gustavo Rajz, Avner Michaeli, Shira Simcha Nouriel, John Sloan Winestone
Between 2017 and 2021, the newly established Department of Neurosurgery at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, a high volume metropolitan hospital, operated on 25 intradural lesions in 24 patients (one patient had multiple tumors). In this retrospective study, we review results and lessons learned as experienced surgeons opened a new service line. A multidisciplinary team was assembled and led

Impact of tobacco smoking on disease-specific outcomes in common neurological disorders: A scoping review J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Farah Wahbeh, Daniel Restifo, Sa'ad Laws, Anokhi Pawar, Neal S Parikh
Although the association of smoking with the risk of incident neurological disorders is well established, less is known about the impact of smoking and smoking cessation on outcomes of these conditions. The objective of this scoping review was to synthesize what is known about the impact of smoking and smoking cessation on disease-specific outcomes for seven common neurological disorders. We included

Subcutaneous preservation versus cryopreservation of autologous bone grafts for cranioplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Mohammed Maan Al-Salihi, Ali Ayyad, Maryam Sabah Al-Jebur, Yezan Al-Salihi, Firas Hammadi, Kelsey Bowman, Mustafa K. Baskaya
Cranioplasty corrects cranial bone defects using various bone substitutes or autologous bone flaps created during a previous craniectomy surgery. These autologous bone flaps can be preserved through subcutaneous preservation (SP) or cryopreservation (CP). We aim to compare outcomes and complications for both SP and CP techniques to enhance the current evidence about autologous bone flap preservation
