Extra-temporal pediatric low-grade gliomas and epilepsy.

Low-grade gliomas, especially glioneuronal tumors, are a common cause of epilepsy in children. Seizures associated with low-grade pediatric tumors are medically refractory and present a significant burden to patients. Often, morbidity and patients´ quality of life are determined rather by the control of seizures than the oncological process itself and the resolution of epilepsy represents an important part in the treatment of LGGs.

Elucidating the impact of environmental factors on the growth of Colletotrichum coccodes strains isolated from potato tubers in Great Britain.

Black dot and silver scurf caused by Colletotrichum coccodes and Helminthosporium solani, respectively, are tuber blemish diseases affecting quality in the fresh and pre-pack potato industry. In the last 20 years, the importance of high-quality tuber appearance has increased considerably due to the growing demand for washed and pre-packed potatoes in the UK. Changing climate characterised by rising temperatures and wetter summers is a threat as this will favour the development of pathogens such as C.

Temporo-Parieto-Occipital Disconnection by Robot-Assisted Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Refractory Epilepsy in a Pediatric Patient: Proof-of-Principle Case Report and Surgical Nuances.

Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRIgLITT) has been proven safe and effective for the treatment of focal epilepsy of different etiologies. It has also been used to disconnect brain tissue in more extensive or diffuse epilepsy, such as corpus callosotomy and hemispherotomy.

Methods: In this study, we report a case of temporo-parieto-occipital disconnection surgery performed using MRIgLITT assisted by a robotic arm for refractory epilepsy of the posterior quadrant.

Biomarkers of postharvest resilience: unveiling the role of abscisic acid in table grapes during cold storage.

Table grapes are considered non-climacteric fruit, not showing a rapid increase in respiration rate and ethylene production during ripening. Previous research has suggested that abscisic acid (ABA) may have a more crucial role in grape postharvest behaviour. This study aimed to identify biomarkers of postharvest resilience and flavour life of imported table grapes.
