Risk factors associated with higher WHO grade in meningiomas: a multicentric study of 552 skull base meningiomas.

The histological grade is crucial for therapeutic management, and its reliable preoperative detection can significantly influence treatment approach. Lacking established risk factors, this study identifies preoperative predictors of high-grade skull base meningiomas and discusses the implications of non-invasive detection. A multicentric study was conducted on 552 patients with skull base meningiomas who underwent primary surgical resection between 2014 and 2019.

Pathophysiological Effects on Coronary Arteries Following Radiofrequency Ablation: A Comprehensive Review.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients experiencing ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. While complications after RFA are generally rare, the occurrence of coronary artery (CA) injury, albeit infrequent, can have significant clinical implications. Given the proximity of CAs to common ablation sites, understanding the interplay between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is paramount.

Monkeypox Vaccine Hesitancy Among Healthcare Workers in Pakistan.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate healthcare workers (HCWs) acceptance of the HMPXV vaccine in Pakistan and identify influencing factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 4257 HCWs assessed vaccine acceptance across demographics, ethnicity, marital status, specialty, medical conditions, and education. Logistic regression identified predictors of acceptance.

Role of Artificial Intelligence-assisted Decision Support Tool for Common Rhythm Disturbances: A ChatGPT Proof-of-concept Study.

Background: The objective of this article was to explore the use of ChatGPT as a clinical support tool for common arrhythmias.

Methods: This study assessed the feasibility of using ChatGPT as an AI decision-support tool for common rhythm disturbances. The study was conducted using retrospective data collected from electronic medical records (EMRs) of patients with documented rhythm disturbances.
