Rhabdomyolysis in a Patient With a Possible Mitochondrial Pathogenic Variant in the Peri-operative Period: A Case Report.

Mitochondrial disorders are often underrecognized as potential causes of rhabdomyolysis, a condition characterized by acute muscle breakdown that can lead to local and potentially systemic complications, with the possibility of being life-threatening. Accounts of rhabdomyolysis as a peri-operative complication associated with mitochondrial disorders are rare; therefore, this study is noteworthy. We describe a case of rhabdomyolysis that occurred during the peri-operative period in a middle-aged male with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease-like peripheral neuropathy.

Unraveling the relationship between executive function and mind wandering in childhood ADHD.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders in children. According to developmental literature findings, there is a link between executive function (EF) and ADHD. Although EF deficits vary across ADHD presentations in children, working memory capacity is commonly associated with attention impairments.

Quality of life in non-functioning pituitary adenoma: A systematic review.

Non-Functioning Pituitary Adenomas (pituitary neuroendocrine tumours) (NFPA) have a profound detrimental effect of patient-reported health-related quality of life (QOL). Elucidating the underlying mechanisms by which NFPA influence patients' emotional physical and psychosocial wellbeing would provide the foundation for therapeutic strategies to optimise patient outcomes. A systematic review of the literature was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement.

Oral and general health quality of life following a subtemporal preauricular infratemporal approach with condylar fossa osteotomy in surgical skull base tumor resection.

Objective: With the capacity to provide maximal lesion exposure, the subtemporal preauricular infratemporal (SPI) approach with condylar fossa osteotomy is highly utilized in radical resection of skull base tumors. While this approach requires disruption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) for access, the effects of this maneuver are poorly appreciated in neurosurgery. The aim of this study was to assess the morbidity of condylar fossa osteotomies by comparing oral health quality of life (OHQOL) and general health quality of life (GHQOL) outcomes after TMJ-involving and TMJ-sparing skull base approaches.
