Publication date: Available online 30 June 2018Source: Neurologia i Neurochirurgia PolskaAuthor(s): Eric D. Goldstein, Anteneh M. FeyissaAbstractIntroductionGliomas are commonly associated with the development of epilepsy; in some cases the two conditions share common pathogenic mechanisms and may influence each other. Brain tumor related-epilepsy (BTRE) complicates the clinical management of gliomas and can substantially affect daily life.State of the artThe incidence of seizures is high in patients with slow growing tumors located in the frontotemporal regions. However, recent studies suggest that epileptogenesis may be ...

Minimally invasive decompression in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis associated with lumbar spinal stenosis. Report of a surgical series and review of the literature
We reported the results of minimally invasive spinal decompression (MISD) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) associated with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and performed a literature review in order to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes, the complications and reoperation rate of MISD procedures in these patients.Data of 28 patients submitted to MISD for DS associated to LSS were reviewed. We evaluated the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) both for low back pain (LBP) and legs pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the degree of the slippage. A PubMed search of the English literature was conduc...

Application of peripheral nerve conduits in clinical practice: A literature review
Publication date: Available online 2 July 2018Source: Neurologia i Neurochirurgia PolskaAuthor(s): Patrycja Chrząszcz, Kamil Derbisz, Krzysztof Suszyński, Jan Miodoński, Robert Trybulski, Joanna Lewin-Kowalik, Wiesław MarcolAbstractUnderstanding the pathomechanisms behind peripheral nerve damage and learning the course of regeneration seem to be crucial for selecting the appropriate methods of treatment. Autografts are currently the gold standard procedure in nerve reconstruction. However, due to the frequency of complications resulting from autografting and a desire to create a better environment for the regeneration ...

Convulsive status epilepticus management in adults and children: Report of the Working Group of the Polish Society of Epileptology
Conclusions Experts agree that close and early cooperation with a neurologist and anesthetist aiming to reduce the risk of pharmacoresistant cases is an extremely important factor in the treatment of patients with SE. This report has educational, practical and organizational aspects, outlining a standard plan for SE management in Poland that will improve therapeutic efficacy.

MMP-9 and/or TIMP as predictors of ischaemic stroke in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic atherosclerotic stenosis of carotid artery treated by stenting or endarterectomy – A review
Publication date: Available online 30 May 2018 Source:Neurologia i Neurochirurgia Polska Author(s): Justyna Zielińska-Turek, Małgorzata Dorobek, Grzegorz Turek, Maria Barcikowska-Kotowicz We still lack an optimal tool to predict ischaemic stroke in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis (CS). It has already been shown that patients at increased risk of ischaemic stroke can be identified based on the elevated plasma levels of metalloproteinases (MMPs) and reduced activity tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP). There are few studies presenting the role of MMP-9 and TIMP in ischaemic stroke...

Enzymatic replacement therapy in patients with late-onset Pompe disease – 6-Year follow up
Conclusion The improvements of exercise tolerance and FVC were observed in all patients in the first three years of treatment and were the most pronounced in the longest-treated patients and with the least severe neurological and respiratory symptoms. Our research suggests that early start of the ERT results in higher improvement of respiratory and ambulation functions. (Source: Polish Journal of Neurology and Neurosurgery)
