ETV in pediatric groups may be unsuccessful due to the failure of redirection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, re-closure of ventriculostomy opening or due to infection. The exact cause is still debatable. Some issues like failure to eliminate the second membrane during the procedure or formation of the new arachnoid membrane at the stoma are still not clear. This study aims to assess the surgical failure of ETV and its predisposing factors.Methods: Thirty-two pediatric patients with hydrocephalus were analyzed retrospectively to assess efficacy of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in children. The patients’ age limit was between 6 months and 12 years. This is a retrospective study of 32 patients in Fayoum University Hospital in the period between May 2017 and December 2020. Patients having hydrocephalus in pediatric groups more than 8 weeks of age were included in the study.Results: The mean age of all patients was 24 months and the mean follow-up period was six months. Of 32 ETVs, the success rate was 78% in 25 patients and the failure rate was 22% in 7 patients. The study included 24 males (75 %) and 8 females (25%) with a male to female ratio (3:1). Clinical presentations varied from enlarged head (macrocrania), dilated scalp veins, repeated vomiting and poor ocular fixation and following. Complications were divided into failure of procedure, infection, CSF leak and re-exploration.Conclusions: Endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy remains an effective surgical technique in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus. It is linked to a very low rate of permanent morbidity and avoids ventriculo- peritoneal shunt-related morbidity and long life shunt dependence. But we should take in consideration good selection of indicated cases especially in pediatric groub.","PeriodicalId":73865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neurological surgery","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135992202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research demonstrates that a child's choice of breakfast can significantly affect their cognitive abilities, including memory and concentration, as well as their interpersonal relationships. Traditional foods like salads and olive oil are found to increase cognitive abilities, while processed foods like hot dogs and chocolate sandwiches can be detrimental to academic performance and social behavior. The study utilized puzzle games and card games to evaluate cognitive abilities and found that a processed diet can lead to decreased focus, hyperactivity, and impaired social relationships. QEEG analysis contributes to the existing body of evidence indicating that a traditional diet can enhance academic performance. The study highlights the importance of educating parents about the advantages of a traditional diet and encourages them to prepare breakfast together with their children using traditional foods like olive oil and salad to enhance academic performance and social relationships. The findings offer valuable insights into the importance of a traditional diet for young children's education and highlight the need for greater attention to be given to diet as an important factor in children's academic success.","PeriodicalId":73865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neurological surgery","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135992201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: A prospective longitudinal cohort study was carried out in 38 middle-aged (mean age =54 at stroke onset) stroke survivors. Cognition was assessed thrice at one week, seven months, and ten years after the stroke. Working memory and visuospatial function were assessed with the Digit Span and Block Design subtests, respectively. General cognition was evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination at the two later time points. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify the variables that may significantly predict improved cognitive functions at 10-year follow-up. Results: We found that having a full-time job prior to the stroke, suffering an ischemic (as opposed to a hemorrhagic) stroke, and having a university education predicted significantly superior general cognitive function 10 years after stroke (R2 of 0.77, p <0.001), while working memory and visuospatial function at 1 week after stroke significantly predicted their respective functions at 10-year follow-up (R2 of 0.41, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Our results indicate that premorbid employment status and higher education as well as having suffered from an ischemic rather than a hemorrhagic stroke might predict superior cognitive recovery among middle-aged individuals 10 years after stroke.","PeriodicalId":73865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neurological surgery","volume":"669 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136267793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In total, in the period from 2015 to 2022, 155 patients with paranoid schizophrenia with NSAA were studied as part of a multicenter randomized longitudinal study. It has been established that the first-line therapy regimen in this group of patients is a combined regimen of clozapine with haloperidol.Introduction. The increase in the number of therapeutically resistant patients with paranoid schizophrenia with auto aggression remains one of the most pressing problems in psychiatry remains as the most common nosological unit [1,2,3]. At the same time, a large amount of research material has been accumulated on the factors and conditions that affect the formation of the state of resistance in such patients [4,5,6,7]. First of all, these include: a debut at an early age, an \"erased\" beginning, a continuous course, the dominance of negative symptoms in the structure of the pathological process, and the fading of the affective component. A special place among the clinical predictors of therapeutic resistance is occupied by psychopathic disorders with auto aggressive tendencies, traditionally considered within the framework of heboid states. At the same time, until recently, the main drug from the group of neuroleptics used to overcome resistance was clozapine [8,9,10,11,12,13]. In practice, up to 30% of patients remain intact to its action, which dictates the need for combination therapy [14,15,16]. This predetermines the search for new schemes for the use of medicinal drugs to solve this problem.","PeriodicalId":73865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neurological surgery","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136267794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surgical treatment is usually associated with high morbidity and even death. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been established as an effective treatment option. This retrospective study aims to report and confirm GKRS.'s long-term effectiveness and safety for GJT patients. Methods: A total of 65 patients with GJTs were treated with GKRS, at the authors' center from 2005 to 2020, with a mean follow-up period of 87.7 months. The mean treated GJT volume was 5.4cc with a median prescription dose of 15Gy and a median maximum dose of 42.9Gy. Results: Most patients were females (77%), and the median age at presentation was 48 years. The overall tumor growth control was 93.8% (61 patients) 39% of them achieved tumor size reduction. The overall clinical control was 90.8% (59 patients), and 40.7% achieved clinical improvement. The Actuarial tumor rate free of progression was 100% at 3 years, 91.5% at 5 years, and 86% at 10 years of follow-up. Conclusions: GKRS for GJTs typically results in high long-term tumor control and lower neurological morbidity than those associated with microsurgical resection, therefore should be consider as a dependable effective treatment option.","PeriodicalId":73865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuroscience and neurological surgery","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136267795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
