What Is the Best Electrophysiologic Marker of the Outcome of Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Parkinson Disease?
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is advocated in patients with advanced Parkinson disease. Intraoperative microelectrode recordings (MER) and stimulation or imaging are applied to confirm electrode targeting. The study objective was to evaluate which intraoperative electrophysiologic marker, MER, stimulation, or local field potentials (LFP) was the most predictive of the clinical efficacy.

Use of Pipeline Endovascular Device in Patients with Nickel Allergies
Metal allergies affect a significant portion of the population; intracranial flow diverters contain many of the most commonly allergenic metals. Prior literature has suggested patch testing for all patients with documented or suspected metal allergies prior to intracranial flow diverter placement, however there remains a paucity of reports of patients with documented metal allergies undergoing intracranial flow diversion.

The usefulness of dual volume visualization (three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography and cross-sectional imaging) for surgical planning in treating intracranial meningiomas: a case series and technical report
In pre-surgical planning for intracranial meningiomas, the relationship between tumors and adjacent vasculature must be identified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) with dual volume visualization (DVV). (Source: World Neurosurgery)

BRAF V600E, TERT, and IDH2 mutations in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma: Observations from a large case-series study
Anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) was added to grade III glial tumors as a distinct entity in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the central nervous system. We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed 55 pathologically confirmed PXA cases according to the newest WHO classification to better clarify the clinical, molecular and prognostic features of this rare neoplasm.

Measurement of cervical sagittal alignment parameters on X-ray films of adults without severe spinal deformity whose shoulder hides the lower cervical column
The Cobb angle between the lower endplate of C2 and C7 (C2L-C7L angle) is a traditional parameter used for the assessment of the cervical alignment. However, when the lower cervical column is masked by the shoulder, measurements are difficult. In the present study, we inspected 191 X-ray films, measured the Cobb angle between C2L and the endplates at the several levels of the lower cervical column, and assessed their usefulness of such measurements for the determination of cervical sagittal alignment.
