Fibrinolytic treatment and ventricular lavage for post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus in preterm infants
Available from NICE by following the link: guidance.nice.org.uk/IP/855
Donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine and memantine for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
New guidance replaces NICE technology appraisal guidance 111 issued in November 2006 (amended September 2007, August 2009). The review and re-appraisal of donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine and memantine for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has resulted in a change in the guidance. Specifically:
Donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine are now recommended as options for managing mild as well as moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and
memantine is now recommended as an option for managing moderate Alzheimer’s disease for people who cannot take AChE inhibitors, and as an option for managing severe Alzheimer’s disease. To access the guidelines please follow the link:

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Deep brain stimulation for refractory chronic pain syndromes (excluding headache).
NICE has also published guidance on Deep brain stimulation for intractable trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. follow the link for more information:

This guideline offers best practice advice on the assessment and management of people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse. Psychosis is a condition that affects a person’s mental state, including their thoughts, mood and behaviour. guidance.nice.org.uk/CG120
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Transaxial interbody lumbosacral fusion.
As a person gets older, the discs that provide support between the bones of the spine can deteriorate because of wear and tear. Sometimes this causes such severe pain and disability that surgery is considered.
Transaxial interbody lumbosacral fusion is done through a small cut over the bony structure at the base of the spine connected to the pelvis. It involves removing all, or part, of the damaged disc and inserting an artificial implant and bone graft material into the remaining disc space. The aim is to encourage two spine bones to join together to prevent movement of the painful joint.
