Open AccessReported baseline variables in transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma over a 30 year period: a systematic review
Heterogeneous reporting in baseline variables in patients undergoing transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma precludes meaningful meta-analysis. We therefore examined trends in reported baseline variabl...

A Multi-task Network for Anatomy Identification in Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery
Pituitary tumours are in an anatomically dense region of the body, and often distort or encase the surrounding critical structures. This, in combination with anatomical variations and limitations imposed by en...

Open AccessRobotic Handle Prototypes for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Pre-clinical Randomised Controlled Trial of Performance and Ergonomics
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from robotic technologies. The aim of thi...

Open AccessCellular infiltration in traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury leads to cellular damage which in turn results in the rapid release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that prompt resident cells to release cytokines and chemokines. These ...
