Article Synopsis
  • Brain plasticity varies after multistep surgery for low-grade gliomas, and personalized neurosurgical approaches using functional imaging can enhance recovery outcomes.
  • A study involving four patients with left frontal low-grade gliomas near the supplementary motor area complex (SMAC) showed that surgical interventions did not result in permanent neurological deficits, and some patients exhibited new activity in the right hemisphere after left-side resection.
  • The findings suggest SMAC operates as a flexible cortico-subcortical network that can reorganize to compensate for neurological deficits, emphasizing the role of the left middle frontal gyrus in this process.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak challenges the Spanish health system since March 2020. Some available therapies (antimalarials, antivirals, biological agents) were grounded on clinical case observations or basic science data. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics and impact of different therapies on clinical outcomes in a cohort of severe COVID-19 patients.

This study was conducted to investigate the prognostic effect and implications of gallium 67 scintigraphy (gallium scan) at mid-treatment and at the end of first-line treatment in patients with early- and advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). A total of 216 HL patients were included in the study. Gallium scan was performed at mid-treatment and at the end of first-line treatment.
