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

Chiari I Malformation: Review and Update of Current Treatment Options
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of Chiari malformation type I (CM‐I) is complex, involving structural abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction that result in herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. In this study, we aim to present and evaluate current treatment options for CM‐I, with a focus on evidence‐based clinical ...

Central Nervous System Bleeding in Children With Haemophilia in Limited Resource
Haemophilia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Central nervous system (CNS) bleeding in children with haemophilia is a life‐threatening complication that may cause severe neurological sequelae or death. In resource‐limited settings, where prophylaxis is not universally accessible, its patterns and outcomes may differ from those in high‐income countries.

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This pilot observational study evaluated whether frequent overnight sampling of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid could clarify how sleep, hypocretin and lactate relate to amyloid‐β42 dynamics in adults with hydrocephalus. Seven participants underwent hourly ventricular cerebrospinal fluid sampling from early evening to late morning during ...
