Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathies: Current Landscape.

Purpose Of Review: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), characterized by acute or subacute onset, severe weakness, and elevated creatine kinase levels, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article provides a succinct overview of IMNM, including clinical features, diagnostic strategies, and treatment approaches.

Recent Findings: Recent insights highlight the different clinical presentations and therapeutic options of IMNM stratified by autoantibody positivity and type.

Outcomes following endoscopic endonasal resection of sellar and supresellar lesions in pediatric patients.

Purpose: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is a credible surgical alternative for the resection of sellar and suprasellar lesions such as pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, and Rathke cleft cysts. However, its application to pediatric patients poses several unique challenges that have not yet been well evaluated. The authors evaluate the safety, efficacy, and outcomes associated with the use of the EEA for treatment of these pathologic entities in pediatric patients.

Histopathological and molecular predictors of growth patterns and recurrence in craniopharyngiomas: a systematic review.

Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are rare, benign tumors derived from Rathke's pouch, known for their high recurrence rates and associated morbidity and mortality. Despite significant investigation on risk factors for recurrence, a lack of consensus persists. Recent research suggests that specific histopathological and molecular characteristics are prognostic for disease progression.
