Background Context: Spondylodiscitis management presents significant clinical challenges, particularly in critically ill patients, where the risks and benefits of surgical intervention must be carefully balanced. The optimal timing of surgery in this context remains a subject of debate.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early surgery versus delayed surgery or conservative management in critically ill patients with de novo pyogenic spondylodiscitis.
Comparison of a Novel Liquid Embolic System with Commonly Used Embolic Agents in the Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Single-Center Experience.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular embolization, particularly using Menox, is shown to be a safe and effective treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) in a study involving 19 patients over a two-year period.
- Out of the patients treated, 68.4% achieved complete occlusion of their fistulas, with the highest success rates observed in certain anatomical locations.
- Adverse events were rare, with only one intra-procedural issue noted, highlighting the overall safety of using Menox in these procedures.
Objective: This research aimed to determine whether an adequate surgical approach can be chosen based on clearly defined values of anatomical landmarks (tentorial angle) and tumor size and extension.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients operated on because of pineal tumors. The cohort was divided depending on the surgical approach.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study highlights the successful use of a "Stent-within-a-Stent" method for treating a giant aneurysm at the basilar artery bifurcation, followed by coil embolization.
- * Three years post-treatment, the patient shows complete neurological recovery and is independently active and employed.
Endometrial cancer is one of the most common invasive gynecologic malignancies in developed countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate chromosomal instability and level of DNA damage in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients in relation to health status (diagnosis), age, histological grade of cancer, residence, smoking, number of pregnancies, miscarriages, and abortions. The analyzed sample consisted of 60 individuals, 30 endometrial cancer patients with an average age of 64.
