    Abstract Column chromatography of the stem aqueous methanolic extract of Dracaena reflexa Lam. (DRSE) led to the isolation of five flavonoids, one phenolic glycoside, one triterpenoid and two steroidal saponins. Furthermore, 44 compounds were tentatively identified in the phytoconstituent profile of DRSE using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The antioxidant activity of DRSE was evaluated. In a DPPH radical scavenging assay, DRSE exhibited an IC

    Abstract Objectives: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is conventionally placed at either cervical or thoracic spinal regions to treat chronic pain. However, for patients with multiarea pain, concomitant cervical and thoracic SCS (ctSCS) may be necessary to provide sufficient coverage. It remains unknown whether ctSCS is effective and safe. Thus, we aimed to survey the existing literature and assess the efficacy and safety of ctSCS.
    Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines to investigate pain, functional, and safety outcomes related to ctSCS. Articles between 1990 and 2022 available through PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were included if they assessed these outcomes in the context of ctSCS. Data extracted from articles included study type, number of ctSCS implantations, stimulation parameters, indications for implantation, complications, and frequency. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess risk of bias.
    Results: Three primary studies met our inclusion criteria. Overall, ctSCS was effective in providing analgesia. Pain severity was captured with patient-reported pain scales and changes in analgesic requirements. Various metrics were used to quantify quality of life and functional outcomes. Failed back surgery syndrome was the most common indication for ctSCS implantation. Implanted pulse generator pocket pain was the most common postoperative adverse event.
    Conclusions: Despite the limited evidence available, ctSCS seems to be effective and generally well tolerated. The dearth of relevant primary literature illustrates a knowledge gap, and future studies are needed to better clarify the efficacy and safety profile of this SCS variant.

    Abstract Objective: To report clinical outcomes of patients who presented with new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE), developed drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), and were treated with responsive neurostimulation (RNS).
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients implanted with RNS at our institution and identified three who originally presented with NORSE. Through chart review, we retrieved objective and subjective information related to their presentation, workup, and outcomes including patient-reported seizure frequency. We reviewed electrocorticography (ECoG) data to estimate seizure burden at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months following RNS implantation. We performed a review of literature concerning neurostimulation in NORSE.
    Results: Use of RNS to treat DRE following NORSE was associated with reduced seizure burden and informed care by differentiating epileptic from non-epileptic events.
    Conclusions: Our single-center experience of three cases suggests that RNS is a safe and potentially effective treatment for DRE following NORSE.
    Significance: This article reports outcomes of the largest case series of NORSE patients treated with RNS. Since patients with NORSE are at high risk of adverse neuropsychiatric and cognitive sequelae beyond seizures, a unique strength of RNS over other surgical options is the ability to distinguish ictal or peri-ictal from non-epileptic events.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Chronic facial pain is considered one of the conditions that affect quality of daily life of patients significantly and makes them seek medical help. Intractable facial pain with failed trials of medical treatment and other pain management therapies presents a challenge for neurologists, pain specialists, and neurosurgeons. We describe the possibility of proposing peripheral nerve stimulation of the supraorbital nerves to treat patients with medically intractable facial pain. Stimulation of the supraorbital nerves is performed using percutaneously inserted electrodes that are positioned in the epi-fascial plane, traversing the course of the supraorbital nerves. The procedure has two phases starting with a trial by temporary electrodes that are inserted under fluoroscopic guidance and are anchored to the skin. This trial usually lasts for a few days to 2 weeks. If successful, we proceed to the insertion of a permanent electrode that is tunneled under the skin behind the ear toward the infraclavicular region in which we make a pocket for the implantable pulse generator.
    Recent findings: This procedure has been used in multiple patients with promising results which was published in literature. Literature shows that it provides relief of medically intractable pain, without the need for destructive procedures or more central modulation approaches with a preferable safety profile compared to other invasive procedures. Supraorbital nerve stimulation is now considered a valid modality of treatment for patients with medically intractable facial pain and can be offered as a reliable alternative for the patients while discussing the proper plan of management.

    Abstract Abstract: The lumbar drain exit site purse string oversew stitch is a well-described bedside intervention to stop or prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. It is not routinely placed at the time of lumbar drain placement. Via four plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles, we test the effect of prophylactic utilization of the lumbar drain exit site oversew stitch on house officers' paging burden, need to redress the drain, need to oversew the drain to stop a CSF leak, and need to replace the drain. We found that the simple act of placing an oversew stitch at the time of lumbar drain placement significantly reduced paging burden and reduced the frequency at which an oversew stitch was required to stop a CSF leak. Subjectively, during PDSA cycles during which overstitches were placed prophylactically, in-house residents perceived that there were less lumbar drains on service, although objectively, the overall number was unchanged. We conclude that prophylactic lumbar drain exit site stitch placement reduces risk and bedside interventions for patients and also reduces overall call burden on house officers. This simple intervention may therefore provide a more widespread improvement in care quality beyond lumbar drain care because house officers experience less burnout during their call shifts.
