Objective: We analysed our 5 years experiences with a DKG - certified regional non-university neuro-oncological centre (NOC) to find out whether the support of extra personnel, costs and time will justify the effects of NOC regarding quantitative and qualitative data. Methods: From 2014-2019, we[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 72.

Objective: Die posteriore direkte Atlas- oder C1-Ringosteosynthese (C1-RO) ist eine operative Behandlungsoption bei instabilen Jefferson Berstungsfrakturen (JBF) mit möglicher C1-C2 Funktionswiederherstellung. Seit der Erstbeschreibung anteriorer C1-RO 2004 durch Ruf et al., wurden auch posteriore[zum vollständigen Text gelangen Sie über die oben angegebene URL], 72.

Well-written and transparent case reports (1) reveal early signals of potential benefits, harms, and information on the use of resources; (2) provide information for clinical research and feedback on clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), and (3) inform medical education. High-quality case reports are more likely when authors follow reporting guidelines. During 2011-2012 a group of clinicians, researchers, and journal editors developed recommendations for the accurate reporting of information in case reports that resulted in the CARE (CAse REport) Statement and Checklist. They were presented at the 2013 International Congress on Peer Review and Biomedical Publication, have been endorsed by multiple medical journals, and translated into nine languages. This explanation and elaboration document has the objective to increase the use and dissemination of the CARE Checklist in writing and publishing case reports. Each item from the CARE Checklist is explained and accompanied by published examples. The explanations and examples in this document are designed to support the writing of high-quality case reports by authors and their critical appraisal by editors, peer reviewers, and readers. This article and the 2013 CARE Statement and Checklist, available from the CARE website [www.carestatement. org] and the EQUATOR Network, [www.equator-network.org] are resources for improving the completeness and transparency of case reports.

Objective: We retrospectively analyzed the indications, surgical techniques, and applicability of frameless neuronavigation to endoscopic procedures in a heterogeneous group of 15 patients. Material and Methods: In 8 patients indications for surgery were cystic lesions, in 3 patients intraventricular tumors, and in 4 patients occlusive hydrocephalus. The mean age was 39 years (range 9 - 76 years). The follow-up period ranged from 5 - 24 months (mean 10 months). Frameless neuronavigation was accomplished with the “operating arm system” in 10 cases and with the “optical tracking system” in 5 cases (RADIONICS, Burlington, USA). Results: In all 15 cases, neuronavigation sufficiently provided anatomical orientation, preoperative planning, and intraoperative realization of the approach. The calculated mean calibration error was 2.1 mm. There have been no permanent morbidities and no mortalities related to the use of endoscopes and neuronavigation. Conclusion: In endoscopic neurosurgery, frameless neuronavigation is a useful tool in planning and realizing the approach and improving intraoperative orientation in selected cases. Indications are small or hidden lesions, impaired visual conditions, abnormal anatomy, and narrow ventricles. Endoscopic procedures include fenestration and resectionof intraventricular or intraparenchymal cysts, biopsy of intraventricular tumors, and third ventriculostomy in selected cases.
