Abstract Arteriovenous malformations of the brain are a considerable source of morbidity and mortality for patients who harbor them. Although our understanding of this disease has improved, it remains in evolution. Advances in our ability to treat these malformations and the modes by which we address them have also improved substantially. However, the variety of patient clinical and disease scenarios often leads us into challenging and complex management algorithms as we balance the risks of treatment against the natural history of the disease. The goal of this article is to provide a focused review of the natural history of cerebral arteriovenous malformations, to examine the role of stereotactic radiosurgery, to discuss the role of endovascular therapy as it relates to stereotactic radiosurgery, and to look toward future advances.

This editorial aims to interest researchers and inspire novel research on the topic of non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Monte Carlo for Electronic and Electrochemical Processes. We present a brief outline on recent progress and challenges in the study of non-equilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics using numerical Monte Carlo simulations. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent advances and novel techniques of Monte Carlo methods to study non-equilibrium electronic and electrochemical processes at the nanoscale.

ABSTRACT:Between December 1986 and June 1990, 112 patients (116 lesions), underwent treatment with dynamic stereotactic radiosurgery at McGill University. Of the treated lesions, 59 were arteriovenous malformations and 53 were a variety of other neoplastic or non-neoplastic conditions. In 86 lesions, the treatment was delivered in a single fraction and the treatment of the remaining 30 lesions was fractionated. Complications attributed to treatment developed in seven of the 112 patients (6.3%). No relationship was found between complications and prescribed dose, fractionation, collimator diameter, type and anatomical region of the lesion that was treated, or previous irradiation. Although extensive clinical experience will be necessary to determine optimal total doses, the potential role of fractionated treatment, and the tolerance of critical structures to radiosurgery, the relatively low incidence of complications in our series allows us to conclude that radiosurgery is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients.
