Preoperative Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Neurite Dispersion and Density Imaging in Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-Mutant Grade 2 and 3 Gliomas: Definition of Tumor-Related Epilepsy and Predictive Factors of Seizure Outcomes Based on a Single-Center Retrospective Case Series.
Neurosurgery
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objectives: Understanding and managing seizure activity is crucial in neuro-oncology, especially for highly epileptogenic lesions like isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas. Advanced MRI techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) have been used to describe microstructural changes associated with epilepsy. However, their role in tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) remains unclear.

Background And Objective: Older adult refugees from Burma face unique challenges in third-country resettlement, yet their experiences are often overlooked in research and policy. This scoping review aims to examine the literature on refugees aged 45 and older from Burma in third-country resettlement contexts, identify factors contributing to successful integration, and elucidate the unique challenges they encounter.
Research Design And Methods: We systematically searched seven databases using Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
The Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness Between Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Provocative Discography in the Identification of Chronic Low Back Pain Surgery Candidates.
Clinicoecon Outcomes Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, UC San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, 94143-0728, USA.
Background/context: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a significant US healthcare burden with millions of lumbar spine procedures annually. Diagnostic tests are essential to guide treatment but provocative discography (PD), the most common diagnostic procedure, is without robust evidence of its value. A non-invasive alternative using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) offers a potential solution.

Rheumatology Department, King's College Hospital, London, UK.
Objectives: Physical function in RA is largely influenced by multiple clinical factors, however, there is a growing body of evidence that psychological state and other comorbidities also play an essential role. Using data obtained in the COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases study, an international self-reported e-survey, we aimed to explore the predictive ability of sociodemographic and clinical variables on Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function Short Form 10a (PROMIS PF-10a) in RA and to investigate variation in disease activity and functional outcomes based on country-level socio-economic parameters.
Methods: Patient demographics, disease characteristics including current symptom status, functional status and treatment variables, as well as income level of the country of residence, were extracted from survey responses.
Lateral Polydactyly of the Foot: Surgical Outcomes Based on a New Classification.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Japanese Red Cross, Aichi Medical Center, Nagoya Daiichi Hospital, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Background: The objective of this study was to propose a novel classification for lateral polydactyly of the foot that integrates both visual appearance and radiographic findings and to delineate surgical techniques and their outcomes based on this classification.
Methods: This study enrolled 148 feet from 126 patients who underwent initial surgery at our hospital between January 2009 and July 2021. The new classification system was derived from visual appearance according to the Hirase classification and radiological bifurcation level (D: distal or middle phalanx, P: proximal phalanx, and M: metatarsal).
