Revolutionizing Treatment for Chronic Subdural Hematoma: Promising Outcomes With Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization.

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a potential alternative treatment option, although the choice of embolization material remains a topic of debate. In this case series, we report on the outcomes of 10 patients with cSDH who underwent MMAE.

Validation of long-term handling and storage conditions for hematopoietic stem cell products for autologous transplants.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HPSCs) are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into lymphoid and myeloid progenitors, giving rise to white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets. HPSCs are a widely used treatment for many hematological non-malignant and malignant disorders. HPSCs can be used in the fresh or cryopreserved state for future use.

Molecular identification of species in phlebotomine sand flies from Al Ahsa, Eastern KSA.

Objectives: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is considered an overlooked public health threat in KSA. CL is endemic to several Saudi regions, including Al Ahsa City, Eastern KSA. To our knowledge, no prior molecular identification of parasites in vectors in Al Ahsa has been published.

Survey and population dynamics of land snails at Sharkia Governorate, Egypt.

Land snails are a destructive agricultural pest in economic crops, but the populations for that pest are highly influenced by temperature and humidity, therefore climatic changes affected their behavior, distribution and population dynamics, for these reasons researchers should follow up on the changes in their behavior, distribution, and population dynamics. In this study, a survey study was conducted to define land snail species existing at Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, from January 2019 to March 2022 in horticultural, vegetable, and field crops and study the population dynamics for the dominant land snail species. Results showed that there are six species of land snails, these species were, Monacha cartusiana, Succinea putris, Eobania vermiculata, Theba pisana, Helicella vestalis, and Cochlicella acuta.
