    Abstract Background: Tobacco smokers and companies are well aware that smoking increases the risks for cancers, vascular morbidity, and early mortality. This is a review of the plethora of adverse effects chronic smoking has on spinal tissues and spinal surgery.
    Methods: Medline (PubMed) and Google Scholar databases were searched for pertinent literature through keywords related to smoking, spondylosis, and spinal surgery.
    Results: Smoking accelerates spondylosis by impairing spinal tissue vascular supply through atherosclerosis and thrombosis, while inducing local hypoxia, inflammation, proteolysis, and cell loss. It, thus, compromises disc, cartilage, synovium, bone, and blood vessels. It can lead to early surgery, delayed wound healing, increased surgical site infection, failed fusion, more re-operations, and chronic spinal pain.
    Conclusion: There is ample evidence to support surgeons' declining to operate on chronic smokers. The need for immediate and permanent smoking cessation and its potential benefits should be emphasized for the patient considering or who has undergone spinal surgery.

    Abstract Concussion is a sudden-onset, transient alteration of consciousness due to a combination of functional and structural brain disturbances following a physical impact transmitted to the brain. It is a common, although likely underreported, condition encountered in a wide range of sports. In the Australian Football League, concussion is estimated to occur at a rate of approximately seven injuries per team per season. While many instances of concussion are clinically mild, there is emerging evidence that a player's full recovery from a concussive injury may be more delayed and the sequelae of repeated concussions more severe than previously thought. In this light, a more conservative and rigorous approach to managing players with concussive injuries may be warranted, with the guiding principle being the player's immediate and long-term welfare. The current paper reviews the sports concussion literature. The definition, epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology, structural pathology, clinical features, assessment and investigation, treatment principles, and short-term and potential long-term complications of concussion are discussed. Special considerations in paediatric sports concussion, and the return-to-play implications of immediate, evolving and repetitive brain injury are also considered, as are the emerging concept and possible implications of subconcussive injury.

    Abstract Introduction: The authors have undertaken a study of their intraoperative experience with indocyanine green fluorescence videoangiography (ICGFV). In particular, the intuitiveness, image quality and clinical utility of this technology have been assessed.
    Methods: The records of forty-six consecutive craniotomies utilising ICGFV have been retrospectively reviewed: There were 27 aneurysms, 2 extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypasses, 5 arteriovenous malformations (AVM), 1 dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), 3 cavernomas, 5 meningiomas, and 3 gliomas. ICGFV was used in 5 awake-craniotomy patients. ICGFV was performed using a Leica OH4 surgical microscope with integrated near-infrared camera and ICG-PULSION.
    Results: All attempts of intraoperative ICGFV were intuitive. Image quality and resolution were excellent. Arterial and venous phases were comparable to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) but field of view was relatively limited. In 12 operations (26%) the surgeon was substantially benefited from ICGFV findings. In 22 operations (48%), ICGFV was useful but did not influence surgical management. ICGFV was of no benefit in 11 operations (24%) and was misleading in 1 (2%). In this series, ICGFV was of benefit to 1 of 11 (9%) patients with an intracranial neoplasm or cavernoma.
    Conclusions: ICGFV is safe, intuitive and provides neurosurgeons with high quality, valuable, real-time imaging of cerebrovascular anatomy. It can assist in intraoperative surgical management and/or stroke prevention particularly during aneurysm clipping, EC-IC bypass and AVM/DAVF surgery.

    Abstract Neuroenteric cysts (NC) are rare, benign lesions lined by mucin-secreting cuboidal or columnar epithelium of an intestinal or respiratory type. They are regarded as ectopic endodermal cysts, and tend to be found in the spine rather than an intracranial location. Advances in neuroimaging have led to an increased frequency of diagnosis of NC, especially as an incidental finding, although such cysts may be confused radiologically with other lesions such as epidermoid and arachnoid cysts. We undertook a PubMed search of the literature using the search terms "neuroenteric cyst" and its many pseudonyms, including "endodermal cyst", "enterogenous cyst", "neurenteric cyst", "epithelial cyst", "intestinome", "teratomatous cyst", "gastrocytoma", and also "enterogenic", "foregut", "respiratory", and "bronchogenic cyst". Only reports in English and those containing histopathologically-confirmed NC were considered for this review. In total, 140 patients with intracranial NC were found, including the patient reported in the present review. This review describes the classification, epidemiology, embryology, clinical presentation, radiology, histopathology, and surgical treatment of NC, and includes an illustrative patient.
