The correlation histopathological and conventional/advanced MRI techniques in glial tumors.

Objective: We aimed to elucidate the histopathological pre-diagnosis of cranial gliomas with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in gliomas.

Method: A total of 82 glioma patients were enrolled to our study. Pre-operative conventional MRI images (non-contrast T1/T2/flair/contrast-enhanced T1) and advanced MRI images (DAG and ADC mapping, MRI spectroscopy and perfusion MRI [PMRI]) were analyzed.

Stereotactic radiosurgery vs. fractionated radiotherapy for large vestibular schwannomas: should FSRT be the preferred treatment?

Introduction: To evaluate the effect of fractionation and prognostic factors on local control (LC) in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma (VS).

Methods: The medical records of 104 patients with vestibular schwannoma who were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) from January 2015 to September 2023 were retrospectively collected. SRS was performed using Cyberknife robotic lineer accelerator.

Targeting the PANoptosome Using Necrostatin-1 Reduces PANoptosis and Protects the Kidney Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Rat Model of Controlled Experimental Nonheart-Beating Donor.

Purpose: Reducing renal ischemia is crucial for the function and survival of grafts from nonheartbeat donors, as it leads to inflammatory responses and tubulointerstitial damage. The primary concern with organs from nonheartbeat donors is the long warm ischemia period and reperfusion injury following renal transplantation. This study had two main goals; one goal is to determine how Necrostatin-1 targeting the PANoptosome affects PANoptosis in the nonheart-beating donor rat model.

Effectiveness of subgaleal topical vancomycin powder in reducing infection rates and shunt revisions in pediatric ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery: a promising prophylactic approach.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two prophylactic strategies in preventing shunt infections in pediatric patients undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study included pediatric patients who underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery between 2017 and 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the prophylactic method used: Group 1 (VS) where the shunt was washed with vancomycin solution before placement, and Group 2 (TVP) where vancomycin powder was applied to the subgaleal and subcutaneous tissues after shunt placement.

Integrating PET/CT, radiomics and clinical data: An advanced multi-modal approach for lymph node metastasis prediction in prostate cancer.

The involvement of lymph nodes critically affects patient outcomes in prostate cancer. While traditional risk models use factors like stage and PSA levels, the detection of lymph node involvement through modalities like PET targeting PSMA with Ga radiotracer plays a pivotal role in guiding treatments ranging from prostatectomy to pelvic radiotherapy. This study aims to create a deep learning model to predict lymph node involvement in intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer patients using Ga-PSMA PET/CT imagery, radiomics features, and various clinical parameters.
