TL;DR: High levels of inflammatory cytokines were significantly correlated with recurrence and layering CSDH; a prolonged postoperative antiinflammatory medicine given as prophylaxis may help prevent the recurrence of a CSDH.

TL;DR: Though rare, gliomas may represent a late complication of radiation treatment and should be scrupulously evaluated when deciding whether to employ this method for therapeutic purposes for relatively benign or congenital lesions (which generally affect young patients with a long life expectancy).

TL;DR: It is suggested that, as has been previously described for prostatic and mammary carcinoma, in human glioblastoma acquisition of a proinflammatory phenotype may be relevant for malignant progression.

TL;DR: Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is as safe and effective for spinal cord decompression and spine fixation as traditional surgery, and it also reduces the impact of surgery in critical patients.

TL;DR: Following TBI, axonal degeneration has been identified as a progressive process that starts with disrupted axonal transport causing axonal swelling, followed by secondary axonal disconnection and Wallerian degeneration, and studies support the role of an altered axonal calcium homeostasis as a mechanism in the secondary damage of axon, and suggest that calcium channel blocker can alleviate the secondaryDamage.
