Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the demographic, clinical, and management outcomes of patients with uveal melanoma at a tertiary center in Egypt over five years.
- A total of 93 patients were treated, with most tumors being choroidal, and common treatments included brachytherapy and gamma knife radiosurgery, leading to a successful globe salvage rate of 84.62%.
- The conclusion emphasizes the importance of timely referrals and proper assessments to improve treatment success and highlights the need for advanced tumor patients to consider enucleation to lower the risk of metastasis and mortality.
Different speeds of locomotion require heterogeneous spinal populations, but a common mode of rhythm generation is presumed to exist. Here, we explore the cellular versus synaptic origins of spinal rhythmicity at different speeds by performing electrophysiological recordings from premotor excitatory interneurons in larval zebrafish. Chx10-labeled V2a neurons are divided into at least two morphological subtypes proposed to play distinct roles in timing and intensity control.

- * Conducted at Cairo University, it included a retrospective analysis of 7 male patients, with a significant mean age of 39.3 years, all of whom showed marked improvement in vision and tumor size after treatment.
- * Results indicated that the therapy not only reduced tumor dimensions and resolved associated complications, but also highlighted a positive safety profile, with no recurrences or significant radiation-related issues reported during a follow-up period of about 12.5 months.
This multicenter retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the retrosigmoid surgical approach in decompressing vestibular schwannomas, focusing on tumor decompression, neurological function preservation, and postoperative complications. A cohort of 60 patients, operated between 2016 and 2019, was analyzed for age, sex, symptoms, tumor size, surgery duration, complications, mortality, and facial/auditory functions using established criteria. Hearing loss was observed in 80% of patients, mainly progressive, with tumor size emerging as a critical prognostic factor.
