Previous classifications of caudal agenesis were primarily based on the level of bony deficiency or the position of the terminal spinal cord, but there has been debate as to whether these cla...

Correlation between Task Complexity and Accuracy of Cortical Language Mapping Introduction This study aimed to investigate whether task complexity affects the accuracy of mapping language functions during direct cortical stimulation mapping (DCS). The researchers hypothesized that due to the reduced computational ability of neurons in the cortex in...

This is a long-term outcome study on survivors of pediatric glioma. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of changes in treatment approaches for pediatric glioma over the past few decades on long-term mortality, chronic health conditions, and subsequent tumor risk among survivors. Background: In the past, treatment for pediatric ...

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults, and their incidence is rising with an aging population and the widespread use of neuroimaging examinations. While most meningiomas are benign, a small portion exhibit biological invasiveness, leading to severe neurological complications and death. In recent years, significant pr...
