Maximal safe surgical resection is the core tenet of glioma neurosurgery intending to improve symptoms, quality of life, progression-free survival, and overall survival [1–3]. However, accurate tumor localization and differentiation from surrounding functional

Intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) provides low-cost real-time imaging that is simple and rapid to use. Recent advances in probe technology, image fusion, 3D techniques and contrast have led to significant improvements in image quality. This article provides

Objective: Parasagittal and falcine meningiomas are still a challenge in terms of surgical resection. Although maximal safe resection is the main therapeutic approach, numerous postoperative complications can still occur depending on the locations of

Background and Objectives: Atypical meningiomas (AMs), World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2, are a group of tumors with uneven and unpredictable clinical behavior. Our aim was to analyze possible tumor recurrence predictors, and to identify factors

The antimicrobial and antifungal activity of some 4,4'-bipyridine derivatives were studied. The diffusimetric gelose surface diffusion method with stainless steel cylinders was used to study bacteria and Sabouraud fields for Candida albicans. Comparative

Background: Over the past decade, the use of intraoperative image guidance in neurosurgery has gradually gained in importance. Apart from some sophisticated and very expensive techniques, intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a simple and economical technique

Vertebral body reconstruction after corpectomy using expandable cage has become a common surgical procedure especially at thoracic level. The recent published papers describe the successful use of expandable cages for cervical vertebral body reconstruction.
