Neuro-Oncological Superiority of Supratotal Resection in Lower-Grade Gliomas.

Background: Supratotal-Resection (SpTR) is a promising surgical strategy in Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). SpTR assessment, feasibility and distinctive features, as well as clinical benefit at first and second surgery and on overall-survival must be better characterized. The critical percentage of resection exceeding FLAIR margins to obtain clinical benefit and its impact on long-term functional performance are also undefined.

Sexual life in adults treated for brain tumors: a retrospective study.

Objective: Sexual functioning is a multifaceted aspect of human life that can be profoundly affected in patients with glioma. Most frequent symptoms include reduced sexual desire, difficulties in sexual arousal, or low satisfaction. Such symptoms may cause distress or interpersonal difficulties, inevitably resulting in negative outcomes on different domains of patients' quality of life.

Use of negative pressure wound therapy in the management of extreme crush abdominopelvic injuries: an in-depth case study and literature review.

Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has significantly transformed wound care, particularly the management of complex injuries and unresponsive wounds. Crush injuries from road traffic accidents pose intricate challenges due to their severity, often requiring multimodal interventions. NPWT accelerates healing by stimulating tissue formation and reducing inflammation; however, its use necessitates careful patient selection and wound assessment for potential complications.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis Reaction to Permanent Tattoo Containing Paraphenylenediamine: A Case Report.

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a well-known culprit allergen in the literature and clinical practice. Although this has been described in temporary tattoos, the definite implication of PPD in permanent tattoos has not been described. We report a patient who developed severe allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) requiring skin grafting after receiving a permanent tattoo with ink containing PPD.
