Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze the safety and efficiency of surgical interventions (VPS and ETV) in patients with hydrocephalus due to tuberculous meningitis. A systematic review of 16 studies including 2207 patients was conducted. The overall success rate and complications rate varied in both VPS and ETV groups. ETV is suggested for patients in the chronic phase of illness, while VPS is recommended for patients in the acute phase. Chemotherapy, anti-tubercular treatment, and steroids are important preparatory measures for ETV in patients with TBM hydrocephalus.

Summary: This study assessed the mortality and complications associated with ETV +/- CPC and VPSI in children with hydrocephalus. The results showed similar one-year success rates for ETV and VPSI, as well as similar frequencies of mortality and complications. Both ETV +/- CPC and VPSI should be considered as treatment options for hydrocephalus patients, but measures should be taken to reduce shunt infections.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence of pain and level of disability in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy in a low-to-middle income country compared to typically developing peers. The results showed that CP cohorts reported more frequent pain, higher disability level due to pain, and lower physical health-related quality of life compared to TD peers, while their mental health scores were similar. This suggests the importance of maintaining a positive mental state in individuals with CP throughout their lifespan.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of advances in intracranial pressure (ICP) protocols, moving from traditional to more recent concepts. Recent research has led to a deeper understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of intracranial physiology. The amplitude or harmonics of cerebral-spinal fluid and cerebral blood waves can provide more information about ICP than just a numeric threshold. Autoregulation monitoring and brain tissue oxygen measurement are critical tools for managing ICP and diagnosing intracranial compartment syndrome (ICCS). Surgical procedures aim to increase physiological compliance and volume of the skull compartments. ICP management is a complex task that requires moving beyond numeric thresholds and classical theories. Traditional clinical studies supporting ICP management often lack high-quality evidence. Recommendations for ICP management should be based on better-designed clinical studies that incorporate new concepts in the era of personalized medicine.

Summary: Best practice guidelines have been developed for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) care, but there is a lack of understanding about goals of care decisions and processes. A survey was conducted among panelists from the Seattle International severe traumatic Brain Injury Consensus Conference (SIBICC), revealing variability in prognostication and goals of care decisions. The panelists suggested the need for consensus on acceptable neurological outcomes and chances of achieving them. The imprecision of prognostication and existing tools hinders standardization of care-limiting decisions.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the physical status, mental health, and health-related quality of life of adults with cerebral palsy (CP) who underwent selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) at least 25 years ago. The results showed that normalized lower-extremity muscle tone was sustained after SDR, and the CP group reported relatively good mental health and health-related quality of life despite their physical limitations. The study also found a strong correlation between muscle strength and functional mobility and balance, suggesting the value of strength training after SDR in improving these aspects.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effect of different Modic changes (MC) grades on the cage subsidence rate after spinal interbody fusion surgery. A meta-analysis was conducted on relevant randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. The results showed that MC may be associated with a higher cage subsidence rate. With the increase in MC grades, the incidence of subsidence decreased gradually, but it was always higher than that in the non-Modic changes (NMC). Oblique lumbar interbody fusion may be a better treatment choice for lumbar degenerative disease with MC.
