Biofilm-related infections of cerebrospinal fluid shunts [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2006
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts carry a high risk of complications. Infections represent a major cause of shunt failure. Diagnosis and therapy of such infections are complicated by the formation of bacterial biofilms attached to shunt surfaces. This study correlated the pathophysiology and clinical course of biofilm infections with microscopical ...

MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1280-1295, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Three and Four Courses of Radiation for Children With Recurrent Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 72, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Purpose Re‐irradiation (RT2) for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is increasingly used upon recurrence; however, limited data are available for evaluating additional courses of radiotherapy (RT) for DIPG. The purpose of this case series was to report our institutional experience in treating patients with recurrent DIPG ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease Patients in the Off State: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial Examining the Effects on Pain With and Without the Influence of Dopaminergic Medication

Pain Practice, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background tDCS has demonstrated hypoalgesic effects on Parkinson's disease (PD)‐related pain applied in the On state but not in the Off state. We aimed to determine the effect of tDCS in the Off state followed by dopaminergic medication on PD‐related pain.
