Treatment of Meningiomas Involving the Optic Canal with Endoscopic Transnasal Decompression of the Optic Nerve.

Background: Management of patients with optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) is controversial and the treatment strategy in this patient group is still up for discussion. Transnasal endoscopic orbital and optic nerve decompression aims to reduce the pressure in the orbit and on the optic nerve and thereby prevent vision loss. This article presents material from 7 cases of transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression.

The attachment theory emphasises the impact of early experiences on emotional and interpersonal development, which in turn affects how one interacts in different relations. This review explores the relevance of this to the doctor-patient relationships and highlights the importance of understanding differences in strategies when feeling unsafe. This applies to the patient as well as the physician.

The Antioxidant Capacity of Breast Milk and Plasma of Women with or without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Women with gestational diabetes (GD) have reduced antioxidant capacity; however, the relationship between maternal diet, maternal biochemical capacity, breast milk concentration, and infant intake has not been adequately explored in the literature. An exploration of underlying mechanism(s) is warranted, particularly for nutrient antioxidants impacted by maternal intake. These nutrients may provide a means for modifying maternal and infant antioxidant capacity.
