The mechanism of hearing loss following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for vestibular schwannomas (VSs) remains unclear. There is conflicting evidence regarding cochlear nerve damage by transient volume expansion VSs after and radiation-induced damage. This study aimed to investigate whether there a specific patient population that can achieve definite preservation SRS VSs.
Abstract We explored the genomic events underlying central neurocytoma (CN), a rare neoplasm of nervous system, via multiomics approaches, including whole-exome sequencing, bulk and single-nuclei RNA methylation sequencing. identified FGFR3 hypomethylation leading to overexpression as major event in ontogeny CN that affects crucial downstream events, such aberrant PI3K-AKT activity neuronal development pathways. Furthermore, we found similarities between radial glial cells based on analyses...
Abstract Background Given the typical trajectory of glioblastoma, many patients lose decision-making capacity over time, which can lead to inadequate advance care planning (ACP) and end-of-life (EOL) care. We aimed evaluate patients’ current ACP EOL status. Patients Methods conducted a cohort study on 205 referred oncologists at Korean tertiary hospital between 2017 2022. collected information sociodemographic factors, cancer treatment, palliative consultation, ACP, legal documents...
An optimal radiological surveillance plan is crucial for high-grade glioma (HGG) patients, which determined arbitrarily in daily clinical practice. We propose the assessment schedule using a parametric model of standardized progression-free survival (PFS) curves.A total 277 HGG patients (178 glioblastoma [GBM] and 99 anaplastic astrocytoma [AA]) from single institute who completed standard treatment protocol were enrolled this cohort study retrospectively analyzed. The stratified into each...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging-derived tractography (DTI-t) contribute to the localization of language areas, but their accuracy remains controversial. This study aimed investigate diagnostic performance preoperative fMRI DTI-t obtained with a simultaneous multi-slice technique using intraoperative direct cortical stimulation (DCS) or corticocortical evoked potential (CCEP) as reference standards.This prospective included 26 patients (23-74 years;...
OBJECTIVE Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurs frequently after microvascular decompression (MVD). Fentanyl, an opioid, is strongly related to the development of PONV, ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been approved for postoperative pain management. However, how ketorolac-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) causes PONV or its efficacy differs from that fentanyl-based PCA MVD unclear. In this study, authors compared with in terms incidence severity MVD....
Abstract The natural growth pattern of vestibular schwannoma (VS) associated with the rare disease neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) has not been sufficiently elucidated, and rationale for proactive treatment VS in NF2 is firmly established.
