Body temperature is a crucial indicator in assessing human physiological activity and health, particularly in pediatric and critically ill patients. This study aimed to compare temperature recordings obtained from digital calibrated thermometers with calibrated infrared thermometers and non-calibrated infrared thermometers against calibrated ones. An observational prospective study was conducted at AIIMS Bhopal, involving volunteers and febrile patients who consented to participate.

- A systematic review identified 30 studies with 317 pediatric patients diagnosed with intraventricular gliomas, primarily males diagnosed around age 8, with common symptoms like headaches and seizures.
- Most tumors were located in the fourth or lateral ventricles, often classified as WHO grade 1, and treatment typically involved surgical removal, with recent studies showing better surgical success rates and improved survival outcomes.
- Comparing recent cases to older ones, newer studies reported higher rates of gross total resection, lower recurrence rates, and longer overall survival, alongside reduced postoperative cranial nerve complications.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigates the rare occurrence of extraneural meningioma metastasis, focusing on patient demographics, clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from 288 patients, revealing 79% experienced intracranial recurrence and that the average time to first metastasis was about 8 years, with treatment mainly involving surgery, chemotherapy, or no treatment.
- The findings suggest that metastatic meningioma has a relatively better prognosis compared to other brain tumors, especially for patients with WHO grade 1 meningiomas, who had a median survival of 168 months versus 15 months for higher grade tumors.
Article Synopsis
- - The study reviews clinical features, management, and outcomes of diffuse midline H3K27-altered gliomas of the spinal cord (DMG-SCs) by analyzing data from 279 patients across 39 studies.
- - Most patients treated underwent surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with average survival rates showing only 13% were alive after a mean follow-up of 21 months; median overall survival was 24 months.
- - Despite poor outcomes overall, DMG-SCs may have better survival rates compared to intracranial DMGs, suggesting a potential need for further research to explore differences in their prognosis based on historical grading systems.
Unlabelled: Tissue damage resulting from a spinal cord injury (SCI) is primarily driven by a robust neuroimmune/neuroinflammatory response. This intricate process is mainly governed by a multitude of cytokines and cell surface proteins in the central nervous system (CNS). However, the critical components of the neuroimmune/neuroinflammatory response during SCI are still not well-defined.
