Histopathology-based near-realistic arterial wall reconstruction of a patient-specific cerebral aneurysm for fluid-structure interaction studies.

Background And Objective: Cerebral aneurysms occur as balloon-like outpouchings in an artery, which commonly develop at the weak curved regions and bifurcations. When aneurysms are detected, understanding the risk of rupture is of immense clinical value for better patient management. Towards this, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies can improve our understanding of the mechanics behind aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture.

Endoscopic Transpterygoid Corridor for Petroclival Tumors: Case Series and Technical Nuances.

Background: The petroclival area is a technically challenging region to operate owing to the proximity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the need to obtain gross total excision of tumors in this area as they are often resistant to radiotherapy.

Objective: We present our experience with the endonasal endoscopic transpterygoid approach in managing tumors of the petroclival region and discuss various operative nuances for safer resection.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of all consecutive cases of lesions occupying the petroclival region that were operated via endonasal endoscopic transpterygoid approach at our center between January 2016 and December 2021 was performed.

Application of machine learning models for risk estimation and risk prediction of classical swine fever in Assam, India.

Unlabelled: The present study is aimed to develop an early warning system of Classical swine fever (CSF) disease by applying machine learning models and to study the climate-disease relationship with respect to the spatial occurrence and outbreaks of the disease in the north-eastern state of Assam, India. The disease incidence data from the year 2005 to 2021 was used. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) revealed that significant environmental and remote sensing risk factors like air temperature, enhanced vegetation index, land surface temperature, potential evaporation rate and wind speed were significantly contributing to CSF incidences in Assam.

Is intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) for long-term epilepsy-associated tumors (LEATs) more useful in children?-A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: The utility of intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG)-guided resective surgery for pediatric long-term epilepsy-associated tumors (LEATs) with antiseizure medication (ASM) resistant epilepsy is not supported by robust evidence. As epilepsy networks and their ramifications are different in children from those in adults, the impact of intraoperative ECoG-based tailored resections in predicting prognosis and influencing outcomes may also differ. We evaluated this hypothesis by comparing the outcomes of resections with and without the use of ECoG in children and adults by a randomized study.
