Abstract Purpose Chat generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) is a novel large natural language processing software that can enable scientific writing amongst litany of other features. Given this, there growing interest in exploring the use ChatGPT models as modality to facilitate/assist provision clinical care. Methods We investigated time taken for composition neurosurgical discharge summaries and operative reports at major University hospital. In so doing, we compared currently employed...
Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent 20-25% of childhood malignancies, with 35-40 new cases annually in Slovakia. Despite treatment advances, high mortality and poor quality life a lot persist. This study assesses the clinical features, modalities, survival rates pediatric CNS tumor patients single largest center A retrospective analysis was conducted on from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2020, at Department Oncology Hematology National Institute Children's Diseases...
Background: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a well-known hemostatic and antiseptic agent in neurosurgical practice. While there are concerns regarding the use of H2O2 due to its potential for neuronal damage, pathophysiological effect on cells not clearly understood. Methods: An online survey concerning was conducted board-certified platform, an experimental study designed investigate tumor cells. Brain tissues mice brain/tumor humans were irrigated with 3%, 1.5%, NaCl 0.9%, processed by bipolar...
Background: Reduced temporal muscle thickness (TMT) was verified as an independent negative prognostic parameter for outcome in brain tumor patients. Independent thereof, chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a neurosurgical condition with high recurrence rates and unreliable risk models poor outcome. Since sarcopenia associated outcome, we investigated the possible role of TMT clinical course CSDH Methods: This investigation single-center retrospective study on patients CSDH. We analyzed...
Several individual predictors for outcomes in patients with cerebellar stroke (CS) have been previously identified. There is, however, no established clinical score CS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop simple and accurate grading scales CS an effort better estimate mortality outcomes.
Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) on cranial CT scans has recently been identified as a prognostic imaging parameter for assessing patient's baseline frailty. Here, we analyzed whether TMT correlates with Traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity and it can be used to predict outcome(s) after TBI. We the radiological clinical data sets of 193 patients TBI who were admitted our institution correlated outcomes stratification TMT. Our analyses showed significant association between high increased...
Irrigation may elevate the intracranial pressure (ICP) during neuroendoscopic procedures. It is unlikely that rinsing ventricles routine endoscopic ventriculostomy causes persistent neurological impairment or damage, but procedures such as evacuation of intraventricular haematomas (IVH) are performed in patients who be prone to elevated ICP. We report a series which we measured ICP intraoperatively.The charts and intraoperative recording protocols 22 were analysed for elevations more than 30...
So far, little attention has been paid to the biomechanical aspects of decompressive craniectomy. The brain tissue deformation occurring in these patients is difficult quantify. Twenty-six suffering from a large bone defect after craniect
While comprising only 2% of all ischemic strokes, cerebellar strokes are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality due to their subtle initial presentation the posterior fossa swelling. Furthermore, low temporal muscle thickness (TMT) has recently been identified as a prognostic imaging parameter assess patient frailty outcome. We analyzed radiological clinical data sets 282 patients with stroke. Our analysis showed significant association between TMT, reduced NIHSS mRS at...
Background: Air-pouch balloon-assisted probes have proven to be both simple and reliable tools for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. However, we experienced reproducible falsely high ICP measurement when the probe was inserted in intracerebral hematoma cavity. Thus, aim of experimental translational study analyze influence placement with regard measured values. 
 Methods: Two Spiegelberg 3PN-sensors were simultaneously into a closed drain system connected two separate monitors...
Abstract Background: COVID-19 has attracted global attention primarily because of the severe acute respiratory symptoms associated with it. However, nearly one third patients also present neurologic symptoms. This report describes a case previously healthy woman infection, who developed facial nerve palsy and rapid progression to coma due otogenic brain abscess. Case Description: A 63-year-old infection exhibited paresis, high fever purulent secretion from her left ear within 48 hours after...
Despite the high incidence and multitudes of operative techniques, risk factors for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) recurrence are still under debate a universal consensus on pathophysiology is lacking. We hypothesized that clinically inapparent, low-grade infection could be responsible CSDH recurrence. This investigation single-center prospective observational study including patients with recurrent CSDH. In total, 44 received an intraoperative swab-based microbiological test. The swab...
