Introduction: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates are at risk of sudden death at home after discharge. Many of these deaths can be prevented if parents can identify warning signs and provide immediate resuscitation.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of training parents of high-risk neonates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to deliver infant resuscitation effectively.
Purpose: Arachnoid cysts constitute approximately 1 % of intracranial mass lesions, with quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cysts being 5-18 % of those. This study presents a series of 31 cases of quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cysts, constituting the most extensive series reported to date.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 patients diagnosed with quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cysts, focusing on clinical presentation, demographics, treatment approaches, and outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study reports a 14-year-old boy diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, initially thought to have a high-grade glioma in the left frontal region, but was later confirmed to have a germinoma through histopathology.
- * Post-surgery, the patient experienced improvement in his hypernatremia and successfully managed his condition with a small dose of desmopressin, highlighting the unique presentation of this germinoma without typical involvement in key brain regions.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how COVID-19 disruptions affected neuroscience research projects and young researchers in India through an online survey targeting medical trainees, post-docs, PhD students, and early career faculty.
- A total of 504 valid responses revealed that over 83% of participants experienced negative impacts on their research, with one-third noting delays and many adapting their methodologies due to the pandemic.
- The findings highlighted significant challenges, particularly for those involved in prospective studies, emphasizing the need for focused support for neuroscience research in the post-pandemic landscape.
Introduction: Meningiomas in children are rare, constituting less than 5% of all paediatric brain tumours and less than 2% of all meningiomas. Multiple meningiomas (synchronous or metachronous) are even more uncommon, typically occurring due to radiation exposure or in patients with phacomatoses like Neurofibromatosis II. This report presents the case of a child with metachronous meningiomas without dural attachment in unusual locations, along with their management.
