Effective communication is vital for developing a positive physician–patient. The parents often serve as a proxy to report the quality of life and healthcare after surgery in children with neurological diseases. The lack of communication, miscommunication, and loss of information in transition commonly affects the parent counseling, expectations and satisfaction. The ability of parents to serve as a proxy depends on their understanding of the disease process, treatment strategies, associated morbidities and outcomes following surgery. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the parent expectations and bridge communication gaps to optimize each step of healthcare throughout a child’s journey following the diagnosis of neurological disorder, and hence increase the parent and patient satisfaction and quality of care in pediatric neurosurgery.

Community detection is one of the most widely studied tasks in network analysis because community structures are ubiquitous across real-world networks. These real-world networks are often both attributed and dynamic in nature. In this paper, we propose a community detection algorithm for dynamic attributed graphs that, unlike existing community detection methods, incorporates both temporal and attribute information along with the structural properties of the graph. Our proposed algorithm handles graphs with heterogeneous attribute types, as well as changes to both the structure and the attribute information, which is essential for its applicability to real-world networks. We evaluated our proposed algorithm on a variety of synthetically generated benchmark dynamic attributed graphs, as well as on large-scale real-world networks. The results obtained show that our proposed algorithm is able to identify graph partitions of high modularity and high attribute similarity more efficiently than state-of-the-art methods for community detection.

Endovascular treatment has been increasingly used for treatment of various cerebrovascular pathologies in pediatric population. Endovascular treatment is considered the primary treatment modality for dural AVFs or vein of Galen malformations, while it is often used as adjuvant therapy for AVMs and tumors. A number of studies have reported the safety of the endovascular procedures in children and have reported the complication rates similar to that in adults. The management of vascular diseases in children is challenging. The pediatric patients are not only small adults, but also differ substantially with regards to factors such as growth and development of child and different morphology and natural history of the pathology. Furthermore, these patients have longer life span demanding a more durable treatment options, close surveillance and follow-up compared to adults. Standardized treatment recommendations on endovascular management in pediatric population are lacking. The focus of this chapter is to describe history and evolution of endovascular neurosurgery in pediatric population.
