Spina bifida as a multifactorial birth defect: Risk factors and genetic underpinnings
Abstract Spina bifida is a birth defect resulting from abnormal embryonic development of the neural tube. Though spina bifida is divided into several subtypes, myelomeningocele—the most severe form of spina bifida often associated with a markedly diminished quality of life—accounts for a significant portion of cases.

This article focuses on four cases of hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in our center from 2016 to 2021. Imaging follow‐up showed that the secondary suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst was enlarged and then formed obstructive hydrocephalus. The clinical symptoms were relieved after a suprasellar cisterna cyst stomy.

Abstract Background Increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein concentration is a common finding in neurological diseases of dogs. Distinguishing between intrathecally‐produced proteins and proteins that have passed the blood‐CSF barrier because of barrier disruption facilitates diagnosis.

A self-supervised text-vision framework for automated brain abnormality detection [PDF]
Artificial neural networks trained on large, expert-labelled datasets are considered state-of-the-art for a range of medical image recognition tasks. However, categorically labelled datasets are time-consuming to generate and constrain classification to a pre-defined, fixed set of classes.

Opioid-Induced Myoclonus During Premedication in Two Dogs With Hydrocephalus Proactively Managed With Antiepileptic Medications. [PDF]
This case report presents the first documented case of opioid‐induced neurotoxicity in clinical veterinary medicine, with two cases of myoclonus symptoms following the administration of opioids (butorphanol and remifentanil). It also outlines practical guidelines that emphasize the premedication with midazolam and the exclusion of opioids in dogs with ...

Developing and Evaluating an AI-Assisted Prediction Model for Unplanned Intensive Care Admissions following Elective Neurosurgery using Natural Language Processing within an Electronic Healthcare Record System [PDF]
Introduction: Timely care in a specialised neuro-intensive therapy unit (ITU) reduces mortality and hospital stays, with planned admissions being safer than unplanned ones. However, post-operative care decisions remain subjective. This study used artificial intelligence (AI), specifically natural language processing (NLP) to analyse electronic health ...

The application of ultrasound in neuroendoscopic procedures: first results with the new tool »NECUP-2« [Upotreba ultrazvuka u neuroendoskopskim procedurama: prvi rezultati s novim uređajem »NECUP-2«] [PDF]
In this paper, our experience with originally constructed Neurosurgical Endoscopic Contact Ultrasound Probe »NECUP-2« in neuroendoscopy is reported. Between June 1997 and June 2007, 132 neuroendoscopic procedures have been performed: 102 endoscopic thrid
