Epidemiology and Outcome of Primary Central Nervous System Tumors Treated at King Hussein Cancer Center.

Background And Objectives: Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors are often associated with relatively poor outcomes. Data on the epidemiology and outcome of CNS tumors in Jordan are scarce. We aim to report the epidemiology and outcome of primary CNS tumors of patients managed at a comprehensive cancer care center in Jordan.

Proton or photon? Comparison of survival and toxicity of two radiotherapy modalities among pediatric brain cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: With the introduction of new therapy modalities and the resulting increase in survival rates, childhood brain cancers have become a focal point of research in pediatric oncology. In current protocols, besides surgical resection and chemotherapy, radiotherapy is required to ensure optimal survival. Our aim was to determine which of the two major irradiation options, proton (PT) or photon (XRT), was the least harmful yet effective for children with brain tumors.

Dietary inclusion of olive cake alone or in combination with in Black goat kids: Implications for performance and health.

Background And Aim: To address the problems associated with the availability and prices of conventional feeds, researchers have started to include alternative feeds to reduce the cost of diets and increase profitability. This study examined the influences of olive cake (OC), either alone or in combination with (SC), in the diet of black kids.

Materials And Methods: Thirty kids were distributed into three treatments: A free OC diet (control [CON]), OC (20% OC), and OCSC (20% OC with 1 g SC head/d).

Occurrence and Time of Onset of Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Preterm Neonates: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data.

Importance: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has been described to typically occur during the early hours of life (HOL); however, the exact time of onset is still unknown.

Objective: To investigate the temporal distribution of IVH reported in very preterm neonates.

Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched on May 9, 2024.

Antimicrobial activities of seasonally collected bee products: honey, propolis, royal jelly, venom, and mellitin.

Ethanolic extracts of seasonally collected natural bee products (honey, propolis, royal jelly (RJ), and bee venom (BV)) were tested for their potential as antimicrobial agents against antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungi. These extracts exhibited various inhibitory effects on antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, and Haemophilus influenzae) and fungi (Aspergillus brasiliensis and Candida albicans), with the exception of S. pneumonia, which was not inhibited by honey and RJ extracts, and P.
