Background: Tumors in or near the foramen magnum may cause communicating or non-communicating hydrocephalus (HC), depending on their size and location. Here, an 81-year-old female developed communicating HC following the resection of a meningioma ventral to the foramen magnum.
Case Description: An 81-year-old female presented with numbness in the left neck and left hemiparesis.
Article Synopsis
- Compression of the carotid artery (CA) by the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage during swallowing can lead to stroke, though this specific mechanism was previously unreported.
- A case study highlighted a man with left CA stenosis who experienced recurrent strokes due to mechanical compression by the pharynx during swallowing.
- The successful surgical intervention involved repositioning the affected arteries, preventing future strokes, and underscoring the importance of understanding anatomical relationships in diagnosing CA-related conditions.
Quantum mechanics (QM)-driven terative unctionalized pin nalysis produces HifSA profiles, which encode the complete H spin parameters ("nuclear genotype") of analytes of interest. HifSA profiles enable the establishment of digital reference standards (dRS) that are portable, FAIR (findable - accessible - interoperable - reusable), and fit for the purpose of quantitative H NMR (qHNMR) analysis at any magnetic field. This approach enhances the sustainability of analytical standards.

- Recent studies indicate that gut microbiota plays a significant role in anorexia nervosa (AN), with patients showing ongoing microbial imbalances even after treatment and weight gain.
- Research used advanced PCR technology to analyze gut microbiomes over three months in hospitalized AN patients, revealing a unique microbial profile compared to healthy individuals.
- Findings suggest that simply gaining weight may not restore gut health, indicating the need for possible treatment approaches like diet changes or microbiota-targeted therapies.
1-Kestose (KES), a dietary fiber and prebiotic carbohydrate, benefits various physiological functions. This study aimed to examine whether diets supplemented with KES over three consecutive generations could significantly affect some host physiological aspects, including behavioral phenotypes and gut microbial ecology. Mice that received KES-supplemented diets for three generations demonstrated increased activity compared with those fed diets lacking KES.
