Researchers evaluated a database of over 25,000 ImPACT results obtained in young student-athletes. Patients with a history of multiple concussions reported greater cognitive, sleep, and neuropsychiatric symptoms but not migraine symptoms. This distinction may help guide decision-making regarding patient monitoring and return to play.

Preoperative skin antisepsis added to a shunt infection control protocol resulted in a reduction of the infection rate to 0% in 379 consecutive procedures. Key to achieving this success were continuous monitoring and adjustments to the shunt protocol, which the authors believe can be easily generalized to other centers. Larger, multicenter studies should be completed to verify the effectiveness of the protocol reported in this study.

A new study shows that the updated Brain Injury Guidelines (uBIG) can reduce the unnecessary costs and burden associated with transferring patients with complicated mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). In a retrospective study of patients receiving care at level I trauma centers in Canada, at least 65% of patients categorized as having the mildest form of complicated mild TBI (uBIG-1) could be safely treated at their local hospital.

Using angiographic images and computer modeling and analysis, researchers in Japan have evaluated hemodynamic factors that may help identify sites where aneurysms are likelier to form.
Researchers found that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for lumbar fusion was associated with significantly greater odds of patient satisfaction than open surgery 3 months postoperatively. MIS was associated with less disability and pain at 3 and 12 months postoperatively.
Researchers from four academic neurosurgical centers in Japan found that the parietooccipital fissure, which divides the temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes of the brain, acts as an obstacle that may result in less invasion of posterior medial temporal gliomas toward the occipital lobe.
