Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a sap-sucking scale insect that was introduced to Greece and Turkey to boost pine honey production, but it also poses a threat to pine trees as a pest.
- The study conducted in Burdur, Turkey aimed to identify natural predators of this insect due to a lack of research on introduced regions.
- Researchers identified 19 predator species, including 12 that were previously unreported in the insect's introduced range, with some species being the most frequent and abundant predators.

Methods: We retrospectively collected data on 13 patients referred to our institution. All patients had history of head trauma and experienced 2 or more episodes of meningitis.
A 22-year-old man with medical history of Hemophilia A was admitted with a 3- month history of low back pain radiating to the right leg. Neurological examination revealed no abnormalities. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement revealed an intradural extramedullary mass at the level of L1 reported as an intradural tumor.

Besides not applying watertight closure of the duraplasty, the inviability and the poor vascularization of the graft and/or the dura (eg, reoperations, multiple operations, or cranial radiotherapy) may lead to delayed healing of the suture site and resultant persistent CSF leaks. We present a simple technique that uses on-site muscle flap with pedicle to supply and vascularize the autologous fascia lata, preserving the viability of the graft and reenforcing its healing ability.
