Neurosurgical landscape in Pakistan: Past, present and future perspectives J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Saad Javed, Muhammad Asad Asif, Eesha Yaqoob, Zonaira Mushahid, Mohammad Mohsin Arshad, Minaam Farooq, Bipin Chaurasia
Intricate fields have always posed a challenge for the healthcare department all over the world, particularly in developing countries. This article elaborates on the history of neurosurgery in a developing country like Pakistan. In addition, it provides a summary of a roadmap that a young healthcare practitioner, who inspires to become a respectable neurosurgeon may need. After Pakistan gained its

Effects of robotic-assisted gait training on physical capacity, and quality of life among chronic stroke patients: A randomized controlled study J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Birgül Elmas Bodur, Yıldız Erdoğanoğlu, Sinem Asena Sel
Background Even though robotic therapy is becoming more commonly used in research protocols for lower limb stroke rehabilitation, there still is a significant gap between research evidence and its use in clinical practice. Therefore, the present study was designed assuming that the wearable mobile gait device training for chronic stroke patients might have different effects on functional independence

Evaluation of systemic inflammation in seizure phenotypes following meningioma resection J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-13 Ali Bakhsh, Conor S. Gillespie, George E. Richardson, Mohammed A. Mustafa, Christopher P. Millward, Nasir Mirza, Michael D. Jenkinson
Purpose To investigate the association between perioperative peripheral blood inflammatory markers and seizures in patients who have undergone meningioma resection. Materials and methods A single neurosurgery tertiary centre blood bank database was screened to extract pre-operative and post-operative white cell count (WCC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio

Opportunities for developing neural stem cell treatments for acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and gap analysis J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Quinlan D Buchlak, Nazanin Esmaili, Justin Moore
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability and death. Current treatments are limited. Stem cell therapy has been highlighted as a potentially effective treatment to mitigate damage and restore function, but efficacy results are mixed. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on stem cell therapies for early acute ischemic stroke; and identify opportunities for future research

The morphology of occlusion stump for endovascular recanalization in non-acute vertebral ostial occlusion J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Longlong Liu, Jianming Wu, Ailing Li, Jingqian Teng, Yuwen Jin, Binwu Ma
Purpose Non-acute vertebral ostial occlusion (VOO) is a debilitating condition with significant mortality and morbidity rates. However, currently, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for VOO. This study aims to examine the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of endovascular recanalization in patients with VOO. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of data from 21 consecutive

Increased electrode impedance as an indicator for early detection of deep brain stimulation (DBS) hardware Infection: Clinical experience and in vitro study J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Hargunbir Singh, Nishit Sawal, Vipin K. Gupta, Rohan Jha, Michaela Stamm, Shivani Arjun, Varsha Gupta, John D. Rolston
Background When deep brain stimulation (DBS) infections are identified, they are often too advanced to treat without complete hardware removal. New objective markers to promptly identify DBS infections are needed. We present a patient with GPi (globus pallidus interna) DBS for dystonia, where the electrode impedance unexpectedly increased 3-months post-operatively, followed by serologic and hematologic

Expert panel recommendations for topical hemostatic agent use in varied bleeding sites and situations during neuro-spine surgeries J. Clin. Neurosci. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 C.E. Deopujari, S. Ambekar, B.R. Yetukuri, B. Diyora, A. Ghosh, P. Krishnan, M. Panigrahi, R. Ranjan, C. Raman, S. Tyagi, S. Vaishya, N. Venkataramana, V.D. Sinha, D. Paniker, S. Das
Intraoperative bleeding poses a substantial challenge, particularly in neuro-spine surgeries leading to complications such as hematomas, infections, and hemodynamic instability. Despite their proven efficacy, use of topical hemostatic agents (THAs) lacks comprehensive published literature and guidelines particularly in the Indian setting. The present study provides the first-ever Indian expert panel
