Various space occupying lesions can arise in the orbit, ranging from developmental anomalies to malignancies, and many of the diseases occurring in children are different from the pathologies in the adult population. As the clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific, radiologic evaluation is essential for lesion detection and characterization as well as patient management. While orbital masses may in some cases involve multiple compartments, a simple compartmental approach is the key for the diagnosis on imaging studies, and MRI is the modality of choice.

- Current smoking significantly elevates stroke risk globally, particularly for ischemic stroke, with odds ratios indicating a stronger link in high-income countries.
- Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure also raises stroke risk, with a notable increase for those exposed for over 10 hours weekly, impacting all stroke types.
- The study highlights varying risk associations based on tobacco type and regional income levels, with large vessel strokes showing the strongest correlation with current smoking.
This study aimed to evaluate potential posttreatment changes in ADC values within the tissue surrounding the enhancing lesion, particularly in areas not exhibiting MRI characteristics of involvement. Additionally, the objective was to investigate the correlations among ADC values, treatment response, and survival outcomes in individuals diagnosed with gliomas. This retrospective study included a total of 49 patients that underwent either stereotactic biopsy or maximal surgical resection.

Aims: We examined differences in the prevalence of AF and described variations in the magnitude of the association between AF and ischemic stroke by country income level.
Methods: In the INTERSTROKE case-control study, participants with acute first ischemic stroke were recruited across 32 countries.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between different lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in various stroke types, highlighting inconsistent associations with stroke risk.
- Results show that higher levels of apoB and LDL-C are linked to an increased risk of ischemic stroke, while apoA1 and HDL-C have opposed effects depending on the stroke type.
- The findings suggest that specific lipoprotein ratios, particularly apoB/A1, may offer more insight into ischemic stroke risk than traditional measurements.
