Authors: Payam Mohammadhoseini
Published: September 2022

Objective: In order to determine the functional outcome of surgically treated tibia plateau fractures using routine and early CPM physiotherapy following operative treatment a descriptive prospective study was carried out.

Methods: 120 patients with tibia plateau fractures were initially included in this study. 18 patients were excluded from the study according to the exclusion criteria and the remaining 102 patients were followed for 1 year. There were 76 men and 26 women in this investigation. The mean age was 39 years old. Fractures were classified according to Schatzker classification algorithm. A 1-year follow-up was done on these 102 patients. Functional outcome of the patients was graded with HSS and SF-36 functional scores. Statistical analysis was performed by means of SPSS analysis software version 22.

Results: The average time to union was 13 weeks. A mean ROM of 125 degrees for routine physiotherapy and 140 degrees for early CPM physiotherapy treated patients one year after injury. Functional results showed a mean HSS score of 80 points (Range: 19-100). Schatzker type I, II, III and IV fractures showed statistically significant better results compared to Schatzker type V and VI fractures. With regard to SF-36 score, 1 year after injury of eight SF-36 subscales, the results were better in the patients in 6 subscales in early CPM physiotherapy treated patients compared with routine physiotherapy group. The majority of the patients were able to perform most of the pre-injury daily activities after 1 year. The most important independent factors influencing functional results in this study were doing early rehabilitation procedures, age of the patients and fracture type.

Conclusion: Functional results after open reduction and internal fixation of tibia plateau fractures seem to be excellent according to HSS score. However, the overall patient function is more satisfactory in early CPM physiotherapy treated patients’ in comparison with routine physiotherapy group.

Authors: Formentin Cleiton , Matias Leo Gordiano , Joaquim Andrei Fernandes , Ghizoni Enrico
Published: September 2022

An 8-month-old boy was referred to our department with a protruding soft mass in the lumbosacral region since birth, with intact overlying skin. The patient had clubfoot, and congenital scoliosis. On neurological examination, he had preserved muscle strength, but evolved with distal weakness and increasing in the lumbar mass volume. MRI confirmed the diagnosis of terminal myelocystocele by the typical finding of a trumpet-like flaring meningocele. Terminal myelocystocele classically presents as a large lumbosacral mass with skin cover, containing fat, cerebrospinal fluid, and neural tissue1,2. The spinal cord herniates through the dysraphic spine and terminates at a neural placode, whereas the central canal opens into a CSF-filled, ependyma-lined cavity3. We present a 2D operative video comprising microsurgical repair of the defect, resection of the nonfunctional caudal cyst wall, reconstruction of the proximal neural placode, and duroplasty.
Suprasellar arachnoid cyst with temporal extension or temporal cyst with suprasellar extension?
Authors: Da Silva Aldo José F
Published: September 2022

A 4-year-old female child presented to an emergency hospital with headache and episodes of seizures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the skull (Figs. 1a, b and c) were performed; they showed large suprasellar cystic lesions with right temporal extension and mild hydrocephalus. Subsequently, an endoscopic ventriculocystocysternotomy was performed (Figs. 1d, e, and f), which showed good results.
Suprasellar arachnoid cysts account for 9%–21% of the pediatric arachnoid cysts [1,2]. According to the morphology and characteristics, there are three types of suprasellar arachnoid cysts, as follows: 1. Diencephalic leaflet dilatation of the Liliequist membrane with the formation of purely suprasellar cysts, which presents with hydrocephalus; 2. The defect of the mesencephalic leaflet of the Liliequist membrane with dilatation of the interpeduncular cistern, which presents without hydrocephalus; 3. Asymmetrical form that extends to other subarachnoid spaces, which presents with macrocrania and mild or no hydrocephalus [1], similar to the present case. The expansion could be due to an osmotic gradient, a slit valve mechanism, tissue debris transudation from the choroid plexus, or ectopic glial cells [3]. The first treatment option for suprasellar arachnoid cysts should be endoscopic ventriculocystocysternotomy; ventriculoperitoneal shunt may be considered the second treatment option if endoscopic ventriculocystocysternotomy fails [2].

Authors: Gobbo Camile Cremonese , Bedin André , Dos Santos Samir Cezimbra , Greggianin Gabriel Frizon , Cambruzzi Eduardo , Bizzi Jorge Wladimir Junqueira
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Chordoma is a rare pathology in the pediatric age group, especially when located in the sacral region. Despite the local infiltrative character, some cases of metastasis are reported. The prognosis of these patients depends on early diagnosis and tumor resection.

Case Report: 13 y-o girl transferred with a huge mass lesion in the lumbosacral area. In the primary hospital,she was submitted to a biopsy, whose anatomopathological report showed chordoma. The patient started with pain in the lumbosacral region a year ago, which rapidly evolved to a significant bulging in the area, pain in the posterior region of the left lower limb, urinary retention, and difficulty in walking. A surgical approach, both anterior and posterior, was performed en block resection of the tumor. During the procedures, there was evidence of metastatic dissemination to the ovary and peritoneum. The pathological examination confirmed the initial diagnosis. Due to the late recognition of the condition and the fast evolution of the disease, there was not enough time to perform adjuvant radiotherapy and the patient died.

Discussion:  From notochordal remnants, chordoma manifests in less than 5% of patients in the first two decades of life and is occasionally found in the sacral region, but rarely with metastatic dissemination at presentation. These patients open up with the manifestation of local pain and, when not diagnosed early, progress with bulging of the sacral region and tumor dissemination. Management is based on primary resection, for the complete removal of the lesion, followed by radiation therapy.

Arachnoid cysts are mostly incidental congenital lesions. Although commonly asymptomatic, it may present with nonspecific symptoms, such as headache, epilepsy, and signs of high intracranial pressure. In cases when symptoms are evident, surgical treatment has more precise indication, but the modalities and criteria for treatment remain controversial in the literature. All this makes arachnoid cysts a challenging topic in neurosurgery, raising discussions about diagnosis, management, and prognosis. This review aimed to present, in a didactic and straightforward way, already established knowledge and more recent updates, clarifying key points to guide the management and therapeutic decision of intracranial arachnoid cysts.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Although quadrigeminal arachnoid cysts (QACs) are infrequent malformations of the arachnoid space, which affect the quadrigeminal cistern, they have important clinical consequences, such as hydrocephalus and compressive symptoms. Moreover, there is much controversy on its surgical management; thus, it is important to determine the current state of the art regarding the best treatment modality.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of different surgical approaches and revisit the anatomy of the quadrigeminal cistern.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted considering studies published in the last 20 years regarding the natural course and treatment of QACs. Only English papers were selected, and case reports were excluded from the analysis.
Results: We identified 286 articles, of which nine were selected for the qualitative analysis. Clinical presentations of QACs included mental disorientation, bladder incontinence, dysphagia, quadriplegia, ataxia, and nocturnal headaches, which were dependent on the cyst size, and a spontaneous resolution was not described. A microsurgical technique via a supracerebellar infratentorial approach and fenestration to the third ventricle and ventricular endoscopic third ventriculostomy were the main techniques, which were performed depending on the anatomical features and presence of hydrocephalus. Shunt placement was associated with high rates of complications and recurrence.
Conclusion: Despite the lack of solid evidence on the treatment of QACs, mainly due to their rarity, an endoscopic approach with ventricle cystostomy has been indicated as the more effective surgical technique.
Why neuroendoscopy is not for all supratentorial intracranial arachnoid cysts in children: analysis of risk factors and prognosis
Authors: Cavalcante Tiago Paiva , Guedes Breno William Mariz , Moreira Dandara Carvalho
Published: September 2022

Cerebral neuroendoscopy is a minimally invasive approach that reduces brain exposure, retraction and mobilization of neural tissues and neurovascular structures and the treatment of intracranial arachnoid cysts by endoscopy has been widely used. Selection of the patients who are most  likely to benefit remains challenging in certain cases. The purpose of this article is to raise questions and observations regarding its indication and failure in pediatric patients with suprasellar, and middle fossa arachnoid cysts. We searched English-language articles published in the last 20 years and found evidence that Neuroendoscopy emerged as an alternative to the treatment of this pathology and has its definitive role as a safe, less morbid strategy in these supratentorial pediatric arachnoid cysts and must be added to the therapeutic protocols respecting the best indication.

Published: September 2022

The natural history of arachnoid cysts is still a topic of debate in the medical literature and important to the neurosurgeon who intends to manage these cases. This article consists of a review of the literature available in the main digital libraries with wide access. This search resulted in six studies in which the developmental aspects of patients with this condition were specifically investigated. The analysis of those articles allowed us to conclude that the main and possibly only proven risk factor for cyst enlargement is age below five years, while among patients above this age group we can expect a benign evolution.

Authors: Dastoli Patricia , Costa Marcos Devanir  Silva , Nicácio Jardel Mendonça , Cavalheiro Sergio
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Posterior Fossa arachnoid cysts (PFAC) are rare lesions in the childhood. Owing to the wide variety of cystic malformations within the posterior cranial fossa, PFAC have long attracted the attention of pediatric neurosurgeons because they can produce not only neurological symptons but also behaviro and learning deficts, in addition  to presenting major surgical challenges. Surgical treatment is warranted in symptomatic patients. Nowadays, neuroendoscopic techniques have established themselves as the treatment of choice of these lesions.

Patients and Methods:  We present four cases of symptomatic PFAC which were treated using endoscopic neurosurgery. Endoscopic approaches were defined by the presence of hydrocephalus,  and discussed in each case.

Results : Two cases of quadrigeminal plate cysts,  predominantly occupying the infratentorial compartment , one case of supracerebellar cyst and one case of cerebellopontine angle  were treated with good results. However, one case of quadrigeminal plate cyst developed a communicating hydrocephalus, requiring placement of cyst-ventricle peritoneal shunt, guided by the neuroendoscope.

Discussion and Conclusion : A literature review was performed.  The clinical features, the advantages and disadvantages of several surgical treatments are discussed. Symptomatic PFAC should be treated. The relatively good results using endoscopic fenestration  buttresses our use as a first-line surgery.

Chronic stress, even at a young age, has become a major health concern with the harmful effects on cognition, mood, and well-being largely underestimated. Mindfulness interventions are well-recognized as effective strategies in stress management. However, we know less about the impact of mindfulness on physiological indicators such as hormones/neurotransmitters. This review study aims to provide representative studies regarding the impact of mindfulness practices on hormones and neurotransmitters, which are responsible for stress regulation, positivity, and wellness. Taking into consideration the difficulties that many people have to follow a conventional mindfulness program, we also investigated the effectiveness of virtual reality as an assistive tool for mindfulness training. The results confirmed our initial hypothesis, according to which mindfulness training reduces stress hormones while increasing hormones/neurotransmitters which induce relaxation along with positivity and self-satisfaction. Virtual reality provides several advantages facilitating training conditions, optimizing the experience, and increasing the effectiveness of interventions. In addition, it strengthens self-control skills. These results indicate also that those physiological parameters, which are considered to be out of human control, can be modified with self-control practices. We conclude that mindfulness practices constitute a form of metacognitive training by which individuals can take control and balance the physiological processes that determine cognition, mood, and well-being. Virtual reality maximizes therapeutic outcomes, especially for people with disabilities or difficulties with conventional interventions.

Published: September 2022

Mobile applications are constantly increasing and people are trying to find solutions to problems in their daily life in the digital world. Digital developments provide equal access and learning opportunities to people with disabilities. Today, children spend most of their time using mobile devices. Therefore, addressing their difficulties through mobile applications would be very effective. E-learning applications that use mobile devices, also known as mobile learning, can be used as therapeutic tools to improve both executive functions and quality of life. Moreover, they create greater motivation in children and adolescents by increasing the frequency of practicing cognitive and metacognitive task skills. In addition, audiovisual stimuli provided through smartphone applications can facilitate the understanding and memorization of the information provided. Therefore, they can be essential learning tools for children with ADHD.  The present work investigates the role and effectiveness of using mobile applications in order to improve the quality of life of children with ADHD.

Authors: Leliopoulos Panagiotis , Drigas Athanasios
Published: September 2022

In this paper, our study focused on the framework of big data-driven and mobile optimization. We will study the significant points of 5G and previous mobile networks, and mostly we have a look at past mobile technologies. After that, we will focus on the future 5G Mobile Technology. We will make an essential reference to the architecture of the 5G Mobile Network. We will see the two OSI levels (network level and Internet Protocol (IP)). The purpose of IP is to ensure adequate control data (in IP header) for proper routing of IP packets belonging to specific application connections or sessions between client and server applications somewhere on the Internet. Also, we mention the primary points of 5G. The device-based architectures, the millimeter-wave, the massive multiple inputs - multiple outputs, the smarter devices, and the manual support for machine-to-machine communication.Finally, in this paper, we will see how much faster will be the future 5G mobile network and services can support. Those services, including experience at speeds of at least 1 Gbps or higher, 10 Gbps data transfer, zero secondary switches, enormous capacity, and reduce power consumption, are the areas of 5G network we see in this study.

Gifted and talented students do not constitute one homogenious group. This fact evokes the need for the definition of their characteristics and identification of this population. Undoubtedly metacognitive skills can lead one to recognize his/her strengths and weaknesses and lead him/herself to the upper levels of the pyramid of knowledge. Moreover, identification of giftedness at school requires more than IQ tests, as it is multidimensional. Research argues that early identification and intervention are crucial due to fulfilling their needs for education. Furthermore, early detection of giftedness for students with special needs provides equal opportunities to dual strength students.
