"Drains" in the brain, responsible for clearing toxic waste in the organ, tend to get clogged up in people who show signs of developing Alzheimer's disease, a study by researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has discovered.
 
   New insights into glioblastoma survival linked to brain fluid dynamicsNew insights into glioblastoma survival linked to brain fluid dynamics
 
Glioblastoma-the most aggressive form of brain cancer-remains one of medicine's biggest challenges. Despite surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, most patients survive only about a year after diagnosis.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is projected to become the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States by 2030, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
 
   Cardiologists recommend reassessing need for additional stents laterCardiologists recommend reassessing need for additional stents later
 
A blocked coronary artery causing an acute heart attack must be opened immediately with a stent procedure. However, if other coronary arteries also appear to be narrowed, it is safe to wait and treat those later. This approach cuts the number of stent procedures in half, according to cardiologists from Radboud university medical center, writing in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Focused ultrasound can be safely used in children being treated for brain cancerColumbia University researchers are the first to show that focused ultrasound - a non-invasive technique that uses sound waves to enhance the delivery of drugs into the brain - can be safely used in children being treated for brain cancer.
 
 
 Advances in diagnosis and management of chronic subdural hematoma
 
Advances in diagnosis and management of chronic subdural hematomaChronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions, particularly among the elderly, with an annual incidence ranging from 1.7 to 20.6 per 100,000 people.
 
 
 Toward precision diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced brain injury
 
Toward precision diagnosis and treatment of radiation-induced brain injuryRadiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a serious and often delayed complication of cranial radiotherapy, which remains a cornerstone in the treatment of brain tumors such as gliomas, metastases, and lymphomas.
 
 
 Evaluating the role of stereotactic radiosurgery in craniopharyngioma management
 
Evaluating the role of stereotactic radiosurgery in craniopharyngioma managementCraniopharyngiomas account for 2–5% of all primary brain tumors and 5–10% of pediatric brain tumors. Despite their benign histology, their location near the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and optic pathways complicates management.
