Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor in adults, comprising one-third of all primary adult CNS tumors. Although several recent publications have identified molecular alterations in meningioma including characteristic mutations, copy number alterations, and gene expression signatures, our understanding of the drivers of meningioma recurrence is limited.
Objective: To identify gene expression signatures of 1p22qNF2 meningioma recurrence, with concurrent biallelic inactivation of and loss of chr1p that are heterogenous but enriched for recurrent meningiomas.
Purpose: Recreational runners who need refractive visual correction will need to choose the type of visual correction (spectacles, contact lenses, or no correction) to wear when running. The prevalence of correction choices and distinguishing demographic features associated with these choices of correction were investigated.
Methods: A 26-item online questionnaire covering demographics, running habits, and visual corrections used was answered by 941 people.
Article Synopsis
- - Burnout in the medical field is linked to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of achievement, and younger professionals are particularly at risk; this study focused on SNO Young Investigators to better understand their experiences.
- - An anonymous survey was conducted in 2019 among eligible SNO members, gathering data on their characteristics and using the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess burnout levels, with analysis including various statistical methods.
- - The results showed that YI members reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than the general population, with 30% classified as overextended and 15% experiencing burnout; stress was largely attributed to organizational challenges, indicating a need for systemic interventions.
Background: Increased adiposity during pregnancy may be related to offspring risk for mental health disorders, although the biological mechanisms are poorly understood. One promising hypothesis is that factors secreted from adipocytes such as leptin and adiponectin may explain this association. The current study examined whether pregnancy or umbilical cord blood concentrations of leptin and/or adiponectin a) predict elevated infant negative affect at 6 months (an early life marker of risk for psychopathology); and b) help explain the association between pregnancy adiposity and increased infant negative affect.
