Mutations induced in some Egyptian cowpea varieties with yield characteristics and high nutritional value using gamma rays and evaluation by microsatellite markers.

Purpose: In order to achieve mutations with enhanced economic, productive, and nutritional characteristics in the two Egyptian cowpea varieties, Dokki 331 and Kaha 1, the application of gamma irradiation at different doses is employed. Additionally, this method aids in distinguishing between these mutations using simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis.

Materials And Methods: Two different cowpea cultivars were subjected to varying doses of gamma radiation ranging from 50 to 300 Gy.

Machine learning in action: Revolutionizing intracranial hematoma detection and patient transport decision-making.

Objectives: Traumatic intracranial hematomas represent a critical clinical situation where early detection and management are of utmost importance. Machine learning has been recently used in the detection of neuroradiological findings. Hence, it can be used in the detection of intracranial hematomas and furtherly initiate a management cascade of patient transfer, diagnostics, admission, and emergency intervention.

Postoperative cerebral infarction after evacuation of traumatic epidural hematoma in children younger than two years: Single-center experience.

Background: Epidural hematoma (EDH) forms about 2-3% of all head injuries in the pediatric population. We evaluated clinical data and risk factors for postoperative infarction in children younger than 2 years presented with traumatic EDH.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the data of 28 children with traumatic EDH operated in our institute during a period of 26 months (from December 2016 to Febuary 2019).

Short-term outcomes of endoscopic evacuation of supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hematoma: Early experience from developing country.

Background: Minimally invasive endoscopic hematoma evacuation is a promising treatment option for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the technique still needs improvement.

Methods: We report our early clinical experience of using this technique to evacuate supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hematomas and evaluate its short-term outcomes.

Extent of Hyperostotic Bone Resection in Convexity Meningioma to Achieve Pathologically Free Margins.

Objective: Hyperostosis in meningiomas can be present in 4.5% to 44% of cases. Radical resection should include aggressive removal of invaded bone.
