The quark-gluon plasma analysis relies on the heavy quark potential, which is influenced by the anisotropic plasma parameter temperature (t), and baryonic chemical potential (μ). Employing the generalized fractional derivative Nikiforov-Uvarov (GFD-NU) method, we solved the topologically-fractional Schrödinger equation. Two scenarios were explored: the classical model (α = β = 1) and the fractional model (α, β < 1).

- The study focused on glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype, examining survival rates and factors influencing long-term survival in patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2021.
- The median overall survival was found to be 11.2 months, with only 17.6% of patients surviving 2 years and a mere 2.2% surviving 5 years.
- Two key factors for improved survival included receiving standard combined chemoradiotherapy and having a methylated O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter, along with age and specific imaging characteristics at diagnosis.
Background And Objectives: We assessed the impact of ventricular opening on postoperative complications and survival of carmustine wafer implantation during surgery of newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastomas, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype in adults.
Methods: We performed an observational, retrospective, single-center cohort study at a tertiary surgical neuro-oncological center between January 2006 and December 2021.
Results: One hundred ninety-four patients who benefited from a first-line surgical resection with carmustine wafer implantation were included.
Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of Carmustine wafer implantation in elderly patients (over 80) and those with low performance status (Karnofsky score < 50) undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, showing no increase in complications or negative impacts on treatment completion.
- - Results indicated that using 12 or more Carmustine wafers improved progression-free and overall survival rates significantly, with progression-free survival extended from 10 to 31 months and overall survival from 16.5 to 39 months.
- - The findings suggest that Carmustine wafer implantation is both safe and beneficial for these high-risk patients, with a recommendation to adjust the number of wafers used based on the size of
Cranioplasty is important for improving cosmesis and functional recovery after decompressive craniectomy. We assessed the incidence and predictors of post-cranioplasty epidural hematomas requiring surgical evacuation. A single-institution, retrospective study enrolled 194 consecutive patients who underwent a cranioplasty using custom-made hydroxyapatite between February 2008 and April 2022.
