Superficial siderosis (SS) is an infrequent condition characterized by hemosiderin deposition in the central nervous system, resulting from chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage, often linked to dural mater diseases. Through a case report of a 50-year-old male with severe sensorineural hearing loss and newly diagnosed epilepsy, we explore SS triggered by a spinal ependymoma, diagnosed via resonance magnetic imaging (MRI). This case highlights the necessity of comprehensive neuroaxis imaging to identify treatable etiologies.

Yet, tissue might undergo important postmortem changes depending on the unavoidable preservation method employed. The purpose of this study was to assess how various storage conditions and the removal of the lens capsule affect the mechanical properties of porcine lens samples.

However, this ability is compromised in patients with Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) and Asymmetric Hearing Loss (AHL), negatively impacting their daily functioning. The main objective of the study was to quantify the degree of sound source localization in patients with single-sided deafness or asymmetric hearing loss using a Cochlear Implant (CI) and to compare between the two subgroups.

- - The study aimed to identify different asthma phenotypes in asthmatic children aged 7 to 17 years in Cartagena, Colombia, using T2 inflammation biomarkers like FeNO and eosinophil counts.
- - Of the 107 children assessed, 19.6% exhibited non-T2 inflammation (non-allergic asthma), while 71.9% were found to have allergic asthma, with 30.8% classified as high T2 allergic asthma due to elevated biomarker levels.
- - Results showed a significant correlation between FeNO and eosinophil levels, highlighting that both specific IgE testing and biomarker measurements are essential for accurately diagnosing high T2 asthma phenotypes in children.
Background: Abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) levels lead to poorer outcomes in ischemic stroke, though the mechanisms remain elusive. We aimed to study the role of Hb on imaging and clinical outcomes, namely on collaterals as it is a known mediator of infarct growth.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients with large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke admitted to our center.
