    Abstract Neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases, pose significant challenges in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and understanding the underlying pathophysiological processes. Label-free multiphoton microscopy techniques, such as coherent Raman scattering, two-photon excited autofluorescence, and second and third harmonic generation microscopy, have emerged as powerful tools for visualizing nervous tissue with high resolution and without the need for exogenous labels. Coherent Raman scattering processes as well as third harmonic generation enable label-free visualization of myelin sheaths, while their combination with two-photon excited autofluorescence and second harmonic generation allows for a more comprehensive tissue visualization. They have shown promise in assessing the efficacy of therapeutic interventions and may have future applications in clinical diagnostics. In addition to multiphoton microscopy, vibrational spectroscopy methods such as infrared and Raman spectroscopy offer insights into the molecular signatures of injured nervous tissues and hold potential as diagnostic markers. This review summarizes the application of these label-free optical techniques in preclinical models and illustrates their potential in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders with a special focus on injury, degeneration, and regeneration. Furthermore, it addresses current advancements and challenges for bridging the gap between research findings and their practical applications in a clinical setting.

    Abstract The discovery of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the mammalian brain has raised many expectations as these unique cells might recapitulate different neurological diseases, including brain tumors, both from a functional and molecular perspective. Proper in vitro culturing of NSCs has emerged as a critical methodological issue, given that it should preserve the in vivo features of NSCs, with particular emphasis on cell heterogeneity. At the same time, the methodology for NSC culturing should allow the production of large amounts of cells to be exploited not only for prospective clinical applications but also for drug screening. Direct in vitro selection of NSCs and, very recently, cancer stem cells (CSCs) by means of defined serum-free conditions represents the most reliable methodology to obtain long-term expanding SC lines. Here we describe the methods currently employed to enrich for NSCs/CSCs based on the neurosphere assay (NSA) and their adaptation to specific assays for testing the efficacy of neuroactive compounds.

    Abstract In patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA), symptoms related to oculomotor dysfunction significantly affect quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to analyze the literature on patient-related outcome measures (PROMs) assessing QoL impacts of vestibular and cerebellar oculomotor abnormalities in patients with CA to identify the strengths and limitations of existing scales and highlight any areas of unmet need. A systematic review was conducted (Medline, Embase) of English-language original articles reporting on QoL measures in patients with vertigo, dizziness or CA. Pre-specified parameters were retrieved, including diseases studied, scales applied and conclusions drawn. Our search yielded 3671 articles of which 467 studies (n = 111,606 participants) were deemed relevant. The most frequently studied disease entities were (a) non-specific dizziness/gait imbalance (114 studies; 54,581 participants), (b) vestibular schwannomas (66; 15,360), and (c) vestibular disorders not further specified (66; 10,259). The Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) was the most frequently used PROM to assess QoL (n = 91,851), followed by the Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality-of-Life Scale (n = 12,027) and the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (n = 2'471). QoL-scores capturing symptoms related to oculomotor abnormalities in CA were rare, focused on visual impairments (e.g., National-Eye-Institute Visual Function Questionnaire, Oscillopsia Functional Impact, oscillopsia severity score) and were unvalidated. The DHI remains the most widely used and versatile scale for evaluating dizziness. A lack of well-established PROMs for assessing the impact of oculomotor-related symptoms on QoL in CA was noted, emphasizing the need for developing and validating a new QoL-score dedicated to the oculomotor domain for individuals with CA.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite the advances in the medical management, especially biologics, there are still clear indications for operative management of IBD. For Crohn's disease, surgical therapy plays an important role after failure of medical management and for treatment of complications. In recent years, however, there has been a change in the treatment philosophy of patients with isolated involvement of the ileocecal region, and for selected patients, primary surgical resection appears to be an equivalent treatment alternative to therapy with biologics. In ulcerative colitis, surgery offers the only curative option. In severe acute colitis, surgery is indicated when conservative treatment is not effective and/or when there is a risk of colonic perforation. Indications for elective surgery are failure of conservative therapy and malignant transformation. The ileoanal J-pouch reconstruction is the standard procedure after restorative proctocolectomy with excellent functional long-term results. The increasing complexity of indications and minimally invasive surgical techniques, as well as the demanding perioperative treatment, led to an increasing specialization in the surgical treatment of IBD patients, with IBD-surgeons collaborating as a team with gastroenterologists to optimize the outcome of IBD-patients.

    Abstract Introduction: A rectal prolapse is mainly a disease of the elderly population, occurring more frequently among women. The medical practitioner has an important role in the recognition and initiation of therapy for rectal prolapse. Appropriate therapy can have an important impact on symptom reduction and healthcare resources. Surgical therapy includes perineal or transabdominal surgery, with increasing use of minimally invasive techniques such as mesh rectopexy. This operation is indicated and feasible regardless of age. The management of the rectal prolapse in specialized pelvic floor centres with interdisciplinary expertise for diagnosis and therapy is recommended.

    Abstract Raman spectroscopy is an optical technology that probes tissue composition and is envisioned for clinical applications in neurosurgery. Here, we provide an overview of basic and translational research addressing brain tumor delineation and diagnosis and identify potential scenarios for routine clinical use of Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, we discuss the practical technical requirements in the context of daily use as well as open questions regarding automated tissue assessment.

    Abstract Background: Traumatic frontal fractures result from high force injuries and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate our Montreal General Hospital (MGH) experience with frontal bone fractures.
    Methods: A comprehensive review of our trauma database was performed. All adult patients (>18 years) presenting with a diagnosis of frontal sinus fracture were identified. A thorough retrospective electronic medical records search was performed and relevant data extracted. Specifically, all cases of ocular injury or sequelae were identified and an in-depth review was performed.
    Results: Between 2008 and 2014, 10,189 trauma patients presented to the MUHC Level 1 trauma center. A total of 1277 patients presented with a facial fracture and 140 had a frontal sinus fracture. The mean age was 43.5 years, 90% were male and the mean hospitalization time was 16.2 days. A significant proportion of patients suffered concomitant craniomaxillofacial fractures including orbital (79%), maxillary (66%), nasal (64%), zygomaticomaxillary complex (34%), nasoorbitoethmoid (31%), Lefort types I-III (18%), and mandibular (8%). Associated cervical spine injuries were documented in 16% of patients. Ocular injuries were present in 30% of subjects. 26% of patients had some form of permanent sequelae from their trauma, mainly neurological.
    Conclusions: Due to the intimate association of the frontal bones with the brain and the orbits, frontal sinus fractures demand a sophisticated multidisciplinary craniofacial surgical approach. Given the high rate of ocular injury of 30% as well as severe systemic injuries, the authors propose a modified treatment algorithm for these complex cases.
