Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma: Comprehensive Review of Epidemiology, Clinical Staging, and Treatment Outcomes.

Background: Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the most common primary malignant orbital tumor in childhood, presents unique challenges in management due to its genetic basis and abnormal cellular proliferation. Management has evolved from surgical excision to multimodal approaches, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This review explores trends in epidemiology, pathophysiological insights, and treatment evolution to delineate optimal therapeutic strategies.

Factors influencing stress and resilience among Egyptian medical students: a multi-centric cross-sectional study.

Background: Psychological stress is a common psychological comorbidity among medical students and worsens their quality of life. Psychological resilience is thought to have a protective role against stress. However, evidence regarding the prevalence of stress and resilience alongside their associated factors is scarce, especially in the Middle East.

Efficacy of different routes of vitamin B12 supplementation for the treatment of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the three different administration routes of vitamin B12: oral, intramuscular (IM), and sublingual (SL) routes.

Methods: We searched four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials). We included only comparative studies.

Mobile schwannoma of the thoracolumbar spine: A case report.

Introduction: Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor originating from Schwann cells, can migrate within the spine due to various factors, impacting surgical planning. Unforeseen movement complicates treatment, and it is considered a very rare tumor.

Case Presentation: A 24-year-old woman complained of persistent back pain and was examined at a neurosurgery clinic.

Dose-dependent efficacy and safety of licogliflozin on obese adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aim: Licogliflozin is a dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor acting on the intestine and kidney by reducing glycemic and calorie content. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of licogliflozin on Anthropometric measurements and cardiometabolic parameters in obese participants.

Methods: We systematically searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) relevant to our eligibility criteria.
