Pediatric metameric cervical spinal cord arteriovenous malformation managed with staged endovascular and spinal stabilization approach: a case report.

Introduction: Spinal cord arteriovenous malformations (SCAVM) are rare congenital vascular malformations, characterized by two or more AVMs affecting any of the spinal segments. SCAVM has complex pathophysiology and may be associated with acute, or progressively neurological deficits.

Case Presentation: A 12-year old girl, presented with progressive neurologic deficits secondary to compressive cervical myelopathy due to a cervical metameric SCAVM.

The top 100 most cited articles in acne vulgaris: a bibliometric analysis.

A substantial body of literature has been published on acne vulgaris (AV) in the past five decades. Bibliometric analysis (BA) is a scientific, statistical evaluation review of published articles, providing a quantitative assessment of past research. The Web of Science (webOS) citation indexing database was used on 11 June 2023 to identify the top 100 cited articles on AV.

Comparison of perioperative outcomes of emergency hartmann resections performed by residents versus attending surgeons.

Objective: The optimal level of resident autonomy in emergency colorectal surgery is unclear. This study assessed perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing emergency colectomy with end stoma based on the presence of an attending surgeon.

Participants: A retrospective analysis was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital, including 360 patients who underwent emergency colectomy with end stoma between 2013 and 2023.

100 Most-Cited Articles in Vitiligo: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Introduction: Vitiligo is a skin disease affecting melanocytes, characterised by the development of depigmented skin lesions.

Methods: We used bibliometric analysis (BA) to identify high-quality research articles on vitiligo using criteria such as total citations, annual citations (AC) and journal impact factors. We extracted the 100 most-cited articles on vitiligo using the Web of Science database and analysed the results using Microsoft Excel 2019.

The subcortical role in executive functions: Neural mechanisms of executive inhibition in the flanker task.

While executive functions (EFs) have traditionally been linked to the cerebral cortex, our understanding of EFs has evolved with increasing evidence pointing to the involvement of cortico-subcortical networks. Despite the importance of investigating EFs within this broader context, the functional contributions of subcortical regions to these processes remain largely unexplored. This study addresses this gap by specifically examining the involvement of subcortical regions in executive inhibition, as measured by the classic Eriksen flanker task.
