Background: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the management of postoperative vasospasm after skull base surgeries. This phenomenon is rare but can be of serious sequelae.

Methods: Medline, Embase, and PubMed Central were searched, along with examining the references of the included studies.

Pathway-Affecting Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in RPS6KA1 and MBIP Genes are Associated with Breast Cancer Risk.

Background: Genetic mutations and polymorphisms play an important role in the transformation of primary cells to malignant cells as it may lead to disturbance of vital pathways regulating cell cycle, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. In this study, we genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which were predicted to affect certain pathways and to increase the risk of breast cancer.

Methods: The study included 81 Saudi breast cancer patients and 100 matching healthy controls from the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia.

Tumefactive multiple sclerosis masquerade as a central nervous system tumor: a case report.

Introduction: Tumefactive multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disorder that appears tumor-like on MRI. To most physicians, diagnosing tumefactive MS by applying clinical, radiological, or laboratory examination like Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, can be challenging and ultimately biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

Case Presentation: This paper reports a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with progressive headache and a strong family history of cancer and was misdiagnosed as having a CNS glioma.
