1. Optical coherence tomography imaging of the basal ganglia: feasibility and brief review
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising medical imaging technique that uses light to capture real-time cross-sectional images from biological tissues in micrometer resolution. Commercially available optical coherence tomography systems are employed in diverse applications, including art conservation and diagnostic medicine, notably in cardiology an

2. Microsurgical training model with nonliving swine head. Alternative for neurosurgical education
PURPOSE: This paper proposes a practical model of microneurosurgical training using a nonliving swine head. METHODS: Fresh porcine heads were obtained from butchery and dissected at our Laboratory of Microsurgery. Brain and skull base surgery were trained under microscopic magnification. RESULTS: Several neurosurgical procedures could be simulated in the no

3. Comparison of 7.2% hypertonic saline - 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution and 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution after the induction of anesthesia in patients undergoing elective neurosurgical procedures
OBJECTIVE: The ideal solution for fluid management during neurosurgical procedures remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a 7.2% hypertonic saline - 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HS-HES) solution and a 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solution on clinical, hemodynamic and laboratory variables during elective neurosurgical procedures

4. Análise perioperatória de morbimortalidade em neurocirurgia pediátrica. / Perioperative analysis of morbidity and mortality in pediatric neurosurgery.
Introduction. The increasing complexity and improving care assistance and monitoring of children undergoing neurosurgical procedures has been remarkable in recent years. However, there are few publications about the main characteristics of perioperative morbidity and risk factors associated with worse outcomes from them. Objectives. To study, retrospectively

5. Mortality rate in patients with nosocomial Acinetobacter meningitis from a Brazilian hospital
BACKGROUND: The mortality rate due to Acinetobacter baumannii nosocomial meningitis (ANM) is high. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that have influence over the outcomes in ANM patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 22 cases of ANM was conducted in a hospital with high incidence of multidrug resistance. RESULTS: The mean a

6. Infecção na monitoração intraventricular da pressão intracraniana com drenagem contínua do líquido cefalorraquiano. / Infection in the intraventricular monitoring of the intracranial pressure with continuous drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.
Intraventricular monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) with continuous drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is already a widespread procedure in neurosurgical practice and considered as of great diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic importance due to its precision. However, as it is an invasive method, it presents a potential risk of complications,

7. Meningitis due to Enterobacter aerogenes subsequent to resection of an acoustic neuroma and abdominal fat graft to the mastoid
Meningitis is an uncommon complication of neurosurgical procedures, with an incidence of 1.1% to 2.5%. Although unusual, the frequency of nosocomial Gram-negative meningitis appears to be increasing. Gram-negative meningitis has been documented following disruption of the dura-arachnoid barrier secondary to trauma or surgery. The association of Gram-negative

11. The workload of neurosurgeons: implications of the 1987 practice survey in the USA.
The number of neurosurgeons per million population is much lower in Europe than in the USA, where the point prevalence of neurosurgeons doubled between 1963-87. Results of a 1987 survey of USA neurosurgical practice show that surgery filled 25% of total time in professional activity. Of all cases treated, 64% were spinal disorders and 24% were intracranial d

12. Bactericidal activities of five antibiotics during short-term exposure to coagulase-negative staphylococci.
After a 1-h exposure to concentrations used for topical prophylaxis in neurosurgical procedures, bacitracin, vancomycin, and oxacillin were bactericidal against more than 90% of 48 body fluid isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci. More than 10% of isolates survived despite exposure for 4 h to concentrations of gentamicin and streptomycin greater than
