Objective: To evaluate the long-term success rate of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the treatment of hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis in the pediatric population.
Methods: Between January 2007 and June 2023, a total of 82 children underwent ETV surgery for hydrocephalus and met the inclusion criteria for our study. The children's medical records were reviewed, and cases requiring additional surgery in the months and years following surgery for ventriculostomy failure were reviewed.
Background: CNS ganglioneuroblastoma in an extremely rare embryonal tumour, specifically in the pediatric population. Bad prognosis is documented due to aggressiveness and absence of protocolized treatment at the moment.
Clinical Description: We present the case of a 5-year-old boy who presented with sudden loss of consciousness.
Objective: Endoscopy-assisted craniosynostosis surgery (EACS) yields excellent surgical outcomes by minimizing blood loss, operative time, and hospital stays. Postoperative helmet therapy (PHT), commonly employed for head shape correction, involves frequent adjustments, potential complications, and high costs. Given the rising cost of helmet therapy, reduced insurance coverage, and limited availability in low- and middle-income countries, understanding success rates without helmet use is crucial.

- A study was conducted to test a new method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 using polarimetric imaging, focusing on engineered virus models in different biofluids.
- The researchers analyzed samples with a polarimetric camera, measuring the angles of maximum linear polarization of scattered light to differentiate viral particles.
- Findings suggest that polarimetric imaging could enhance rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens in dry fluid samples, but further testing with real viral particles is needed for practical application.
