Risk Factors for Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Brain Sciences
Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is the mainstay of treatment for most forms of hydrocephalus; VPS infection (VPSI) is a leading cause of shunt-related morbidity and mortality. A meta-analysis of the existing literature on risk factors for

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

The KIF6‐RBP Complex Orchestrates mRNA Transport Required for Sperm Flagellar Assembly

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Two homozygous deleterious KIF6 variants are identified in unrelated men with impaired sperm motility. Mouse models and multi‐omics analyses reveal that KIF6 cooperates with the RNA‐binding proteins FMRP and FXR1 to deliver mRNAs essential for sperm flagellar assembly, linking disrupted mRNA transport to reduced abundance of key structural and ...

THE HYDROCEPHALUS OF POLIOMYELITIS [PDF]

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1918
So prominent is this symptom of hydrocephalus in the pathologic and clinical picture of poliomyelitis, and so important is it from the viewpoint of treatment, that it seemed advisable to speak of it at length, and at the same time to show the value of Macewen's sign in its recognition. In order to adequately discuss the hydrocephalus of poliomyelitis,

Multiscale Circuit Architecture Associated With Memory Dysfunction in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multiscale precision‐mapping framework reveals that memory impairment in temporal lobe epilepsy arises from the convergence of focal medial temporal pathology, strategic white matter disconnection, and limbic‐centered metabolic network dysfunction.

Cerebellar Abnormalities in the Neuroimaging Spectrum of CLTC‐Related Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in CLTC, which encodes the clathrin heavy chain involved in vesicle‐mediated trafficking in neurons, cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder associated with variable severity of global developmental delay and intellectual disability and structural brain abnormalities. Although corpus callosum and white matter anomalies are
