Pregabalin is used in the treatment of epilepsy, chronic pain, and other psychological disorders. Preparation of pregabalin in the sustained-release formulation will enhance patient compliance and reduce the incidence of side effects. The aim of this study was to prepare sustained-release microspheres for pregabalin utilizing ethylcellulose and evaluate the processing factors that influence the fabrication and the performance of the prepared microspheres.

Our main objective in developing this consensus is to bring together a set of most agreed-upon statements from a panel of global experts that would act as a guide for clinicians working in neurocritical care units (NCCUs).

Less than half of patients discharged from the emergency department post-concussion receive patient education or follow-up care, and 10-20% of individuals will develop symptoms that last longer than six months. Current research on interventions for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) shows inconsistent results, and recommendations for effective physical therapy treatment for patients with chronic PCS are lacking. The purpose of this case report is to highlight a successful, multi-system approach to physical therapy examination and treatment of a patient with chronic PCS.

Emerging evidence supports the clinical impact of sleep disturbance (SD) on cancer patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of SD in people with malignant brain tumors and caregivers, and explore any relationship between the patient-caregiver dyad's sleep.

After concussion many people have cervicogenic headache, visual dysfunction, and vestibular deficits that can be attributed to brain injury, cervical injury, or both. While clinical practice guidelines outline treatments to address the symptoms that arise from the multiple involved systems, no preferred treatment sequence for post-concussion syndrome has emerged.

Gamma knife surgery is a complementary procedure to open microsurgery for several indications. However, post-treatment symptomatic complaints are common and often result in short-term follow up imaging. Here we evaluate the efficacy of repeat brain imaging within 30 days of a gamma knife procedure by analyzing the frequency with which that imaging reveals addressable pathology.
