Article Synopsis
- There are major gaps in understanding how immunotherapy affects the nervous system in children, mostly due to a lack of research focused on pediatric patients.
- Identifying and grading the neurotoxic effects of immunotherapy in children is complicated by inconsistent terminology and the variation in treatment responses based on factors like disease type and therapy methods.
- The review emphasizes the need for further research into the specific neurotoxic effects of various immunotherapy approaches in pediatric oncology, as well as the unique challenges presented by combining therapies.
Introduction: There is a growing body of literature concerning endometriosis patients' perspectives on the healthcare system and endometriosis care in New Zealand. However, there is little research available on the perspectives of general practitioners (GPs) internationally, and none currently in New Zealand. The purpose of this study is to address New Zealand GPs' understanding of and approach to endometriosis diagnosis, referrals, management and guidelines.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
July 2024
Purpose: To assess the utility of a marginal full thickness blepharotomy (MFTB) for the treatment of orbital compartment syndrome.
Methods: An experimental study design employing a cadaver model for orbital compartment syndrome was used to assess the efficacy of an MFTB. Elevated orbital compartment pressures were created in 12 orbits of 6 fresh cadaver heads.
Structural Limits of Orbital Compliance and Treatment Options for Pathologic Orbital Pressure.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2024
Purpose: The integrity of the orbit has a finite structural limit due to the compliance of its tissue. The authors investigate these limits to quantify them and inform the treatment of heightened ocular and orbital pressure.
Methods: Cadaveric study with 12 orbits being volumized before randomization of treatment for pathologic levels of ocular and orbital pressure.
