Safety and Efficacy of Atogepant for the Preventive Treatment of Migraines in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Migraine is a common neurological condition marked by unilateral recurrent pulsating headaches, often associated with systemic signs and symptoms. Recently, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists, including atogepant, an oral CGRP receptor antagonist, have emerged as effective and safe treatments. The current study sought to assess the efficacy and safety of atogepant for preventing episodic migraines in adults.

Brainstem Toxicity Following Proton Beam Radiation Therapy in Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) is an advanced cancer treatment modality that utilizes the distinctive physical properties of protons to precisely deliver radiation to tumor targets while sparing healthy tissue. This cannot be obtained with photon radiation. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to comprehensively assess the risk of brainstem toxicity in pediatric brain tumor patients undergoing PBRT.

Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, and Management of Wrist Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), or Masson's tumor, is a benign vascular mass that is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical signs. The majority of IPEH cases involve blood vessel thrombosis. Although it is a rare tumor, IPEH requires an accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment.

Advanced magnetic resonance imaging for glioblastoma: Oncology-radiology integration.

Background: Aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) pose a poor prognosis. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for GBM management, distinguishing it from other lesions using conventional methods can be difficult. This study explores advanced MRI techniques better to understand GBM properties and their link to patient outcomes.
