Erratum to ‘Efficacy and safety of local fibrinolytic therapy in intracranial hemorrhages: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials’ [World Neurosurger... by Arun Babu Rajeswaran, Arshad Ali, Saleh Safi, Ahmed Eid Abdulghani Saleh

“…In pooled analysis for IVH, fibrinolysis vs saline showed reduced mortality [RR-0.63 (0.46, 0.85)], less risk of ventriculitis [RR-0.59 (0.35, 1.00)] and higher daily reduction in clot size percentage [SMD-0.93 (0.39, 1.47)] with fibrinolysis but found no significant difference in functional outcome [RR-1.07 (0.88, 1.30)], in the risk of new bleedings [RR-1.36 (0.44, 4.23)] and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (RR-1.10 [0.77, 1.59)]. In pooled analysis for ICH, with fibrinolysis vs standard craniotomy, there was a reduced mortality [RR-0.65 (0.20, 2.51)] with decreased risk for new hemorrhages in the fibrinolysis arm [RR-0.48 (0.30, 0.78)] while in fibrinolysis vs standard medical treatment, the trend was also a reduced mortality [RR-0.83 (0.65, 1.05)] with favourable outcome [RR-1.20 (1.00, 1.44)] and higher risk of new bleeds (RR-2.27 [1.23, 4.19]) but no significant difference in brain infections (RR-1.34 [0.24, 7.49]). …”

Pineal cyst in bipolar patient with normolithiaemia and positive fibromyalgic tender points by Salvatore Marrone, MD, Antonio Alessandro Biancardino, MD, Evier Andrea Giovannini, MD, Federica Paolini, MD, Benedetta Maria Campisi, MD, Jaime Mandelli, MD, Domenico Santangelo, MD, Salvatore Fanara, MD, Giuseppe Vaccaro, MD, Michele Vecchio, MD, Domenico Gerardo Iacopino, MD, PhD, Luigi Basile, MD

“…Although these cysts are usually asymptomatic, they can occasionally enlarge and compress adjacent structures, leading to neurological complications such as obstructive hydrocephalus and Parinaud's syndrome. The underlying mechanisms of pineal cyst development remain largely unclear, although inflammation - common in rheumatological conditions such as fibromyalgia - and mechanical stress have been suggested as contributing factors. …”
