Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) analyzed 13 million hospital stays involving around 4 million individuals in Austria: Although about 20% of the population in Austria does not hold Austrian citizenship, this group accounts for only 9.4% of hospital patients and 9.8% of total hospital nights.

Researchers at Beijing Tiantan Hospital have developed a one-stage hybrid approach that combines embolization and microsurgical removal of hypervascular central nervous system (CNS) tumors in a single operation. In a decade-long study of 31 patients, this innovative method reduced blood loss, avoided embolization-related complications, and preserved neurological function. Published in the Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, the findings suggest a safer alternative to traditional staged surgeries for treating high-risk brain and spinal tumors.
