Background: With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-hospital emergency healthcare workers (PHEHW) assumed critical responsibilities in controlling and preventing the spread of the virus.
Objective: This descriptive study aimed to explore the emotional burnout, job satisfaction, and intention to leave among PHEHW during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The study was conducted with 401 emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
Background: The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Central Nervous System (CNS) Tumor Classification has suggested that isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype (IDH-wt) WHO grade-2/3 astrocytomas with molecular features of glioblastoma should be designated as "Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, WHO grade-4." This study analyzed the metabolic correlates of progression free and overall survival in "Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, WHO grade-4" patients using short echo time single voxel H-MRS.
Methods: Fifty-seven adult patients with hemispheric glioma fulfilling the 2021 WHO CNS Tumor Classification criteria for "Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, WHO grade-4" at presurgery time point were included.
The preoperative grading of non-enhancing glioma (NEG) remains challenging. Herein, we analyzed clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features to predict malignancy in NEG according to the 2021 WHO classification and developed a clinical score, facilitating risk estimation. A discovery cohort (2012-2017, n = 72) was analyzed for MRI and clinical features (T2/FLAIR mismatch sign, subventricular zone (SVZ) involvement, tumor volume, growth rate, age, Pignatti score, and symptoms).

Patients And Methods: Overall, 94 early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who were administered stereotactic radiotherapy were included in the study.
Results: Most of the study patients were male (91.
Objective: Gliomas frequently involve the insula both primarily and secondarily by invasion. Despite the high connectivity of the human insula, gliomas do not spread randomly to or from the insula but follow stereotypical anatomical involvement patterns. In the majority of cases, these patterns correspond to the intrinsic connectivity of the limbic system, except for tumors with aggressive biology.
