Article Synopsis
- Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are a leading cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and using the Neuroform Atlas stent (NAS) with coiling is more effective than coiling alone for treatment.
- The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 42 studies covering 2434 participants to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NAS, analyzing outcomes like aneurysm occlusion rates and related adverse events.
- Results showed high occlusion success (95% overall), favorable modified Rankin Scale scores indicating good patient outcomes (93% mRS grade 0), and low adverse event rates (≤ 5%), though the study noted limitations in specific mortality data and the lack of comparative studies
Article Synopsis
- Epigenetic machinery plays a crucial role in normal cell development by controlling tissue-specific gene expression in mammalian cells, and disruptions in this system can contribute significantly to cancer.
- Cancer is now understood as a combination of genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, which alter gene function and are linked to cancer progression.
- The review discusses how factors like DNA methylation, histone modifications, and noncoding RNAs impact cellular processes, highlighting the potential for new targeted therapies based on these epigenetic mechanisms.
Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) often occurs bilaterally and is a rare malignancy of old age. Workup for primary adrenal insufficiency often unmasks this underlying grave pathology. In this article, we present a case of a 73-yearold patient who presented with features of primary adrenal insufficiency and renal colic.

The limited literature on this infrequent entity suggests that the pregnancies with multiple chorionic bumps mostly result in fetal demise. Aims To review the available literature and the patients from our institute having sonographic findings of chorionic bump and making the sonographers and radiologists aware of this known cause of first-trimester pregnancy loss.

This is to assure that appropriately sized implants are selected to replicate patient's hip biomechanics. Multiple studies have shown that templating does not always correspond to the final implants used.

Our objective was to review patients who underwent small toe arthrodesis with Smart Toe(©) intramedullary monobloc implant. Our aim was to assess patient's surgical outcome and to ascertain implant suitability.
