Pediatric tumors of the central nervous system are the most common cause of cancer-related death in children. The five-year survival rate for high-grade gliomas in children is less than 20%. Due to their rarity, the diagnosis of these entities is often delayed, their treatment is mainly based on historic treatment concepts, and clinical trials require multi-institutional collaborations.

We hypothesized that an unsupervised machine learning approach based on radiomic features may reveal distinct pLGG imaging subtypes.
Methods: Multi-parametric MR images (T1 pre- and post-contrast, T2, and T2 FLAIR) from 157 patients with pLGGs were collected and 881 quantitative radiomic features were extracted from tumorous region.
The impact of primary repair timing on longitudinal visual outcomes after open globe injury.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
April 2023
Article Synopsis
- * It included 129 patients, primarily male and with a median age of 45, and measured injury to repair time (ITR) against best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after a minimum of three months follow-up.
- * The results showed that ITR did not significantly affect final BCVA or the likelihood of complications, emphasizing that initial visual acuity and ocular trauma score were more critical for predicting visual recovery, regardless of when repair was performed.
Assessing the risk of stroke development following retinal artery occlusion.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
September 2020
Background: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) can cause acute, painless, and irreversible loss of vision. Using a large sample population database, we investigated the possible impact of RAO and numerous other clinical and non-clinical factors on the risk of developing a subsequent cerebrovascular accident.
Methods: Cases of RAO were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database between 2002 and 2013 using ICD-9 codes.
