Giant cerebellar cavernous malformation in children: A case report and literature review.

Giant cerebellar cavernomas in children are rare and must be differentiated from hemorrhagic cerebellar tumors. The diagnosis and treatment of giant cerebellar cavernomas is challenging, but complete surgical resection can lead to favorable outcomes and complete neurological recovery in most cases. We present a case of eight months old baby who was diagnosed with a giant cavernoma resulting in secondary obstructive hydrocephalus with neuropsychiatric presentations.

Taxonomic Composition and Salinity Tolerance of Macrozoobenthos in Small Rivers of the Southern Arid Zone of the East European Plain.

This study investigated the species composition, distribution, and salinity tolerance of macrozoobenthos in 17 small rivers in the southern arid region of the East European Plain, which are characterized by a small channel gradient, slow-flowing or stagnant water bodies, and a wide range of water salinity, varying between 0.18 and 30 g L. In total, 156 taxa were found, among which 66 were Diptera species.

Whole-Genome Sequencing Among Kazakhstani Children with Early-Onset Epilepsy Revealed New Gene Variants and Phenotypic Variability.

In Kazakhstan, there is insufficient data on genetic epilepsy, which has its own clinical and management implications. Thus, this study aimed to use whole genome sequencing to identify and evaluate genetic variants and genetic structure of early onset epilepsy in the Kazakhstani pediatric population. In this study, for the first time in Kazakhstan, whole genome sequencing was carried out among epilepsy diagnosed children.

Permanent Spreading of 1RS.1AL and 1RS.1BL Translocations in Modern Wheat Breeding.

Wheat-rye translocations 1RS.1BL and 1RS.1AL are used in bread wheat breeding worldwide because a short arm of rye chromosome 1 (1RS) when introgressed into the wheat genome confers resistance to diseases, pests and better performance under drought-stress conditions.
