Abstract
Simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acceleration technique that utilizes multi-band radio-frequency pulses to simultaneously excite and encode multiple slices. Currently, SMS has been widely studied and applied in the MRI examination to reduce acquisition time, which can significantly improve the examination efficiency and patient throughput. Moreover, SMS technique can improve spatial resolution, which is of great value in disease diagnosis, treatment response monitoring, and prognosis prediction. This review will briefly introduce the technical principles of SMS, and summarize its current clinical applications. More importantly, we will discuss the recent technical progress and future research direction of SMS, hoping to highlight the clinical value and scientific potential of this technique.

Abstract
The care of patients with both high-grade glioma and low-grade glioma necessitates an interdisciplinary collaboration between neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, neurologists and other practitioners. In this review, we aim to detail the considerations, approaches and advances in the neurosurgical care of gliomas. We describe the impact of extent-of-resection in high-grade and low-grade glioma, with particular focus on primary and recurrent glioblastoma. We address advances in surgical methods and adjunct technologies such as intraoperative imaging and fluorescence guided surgery that maximize extent-of-resection while minimizing the potential for iatrogenic neurological deficits. Finally, we review surgically-mediated therapies other than resection and discuss the role of neurosurgery in emerging paradigm-shifts in inter-disciplinary glioma management such as serial tissue sampling and "window of opportunity trials".
