Analysed herein are the outcomes of a comprehensive (clinical, ultrasonographic and magnetic-resonance) examination of 322 patients with symptomatology of ischemic disorders of cerebral circulation, undergoing treatment at a neurological hospital. Of these, a total of 194 (60 %) patients were found to have various types of pathology of the internal carotid arteries (ICA). Pathological kinking of the internal carotid arteries was revealed in 56 (17.4%) subjects. Based on the findings of the clinical and instrumental examination we managed to specify the definition of pathological kinking. Also determined were peculiarities of the circle of Willis, promoting manifestations of cerebral circulation insufficiency in patients presenting with pathological kinking. Studied were the long-term outcomes (up to 4 years) of surgical treatment of 56 patients with pathological kinking of the ICA. Good immediate outcomes of surgical operations were observed, to be followed by considerably decreased neurological symptomatology in the remote postoperative period.

Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a type of vertebral malformation for which the etiology remains elusive. The notochord is pivotal for vertebrae development, but its role in CS is still understudied. Here, we generated a zebrafish knockout of ptk7a, a planar cell polarity (PCP) gene that is essential for convergence and extension (C&E) of the notochord, and detected congenital scoliosis-like vertebral malformations (CVMs).

Article Synopsis
- Improving the tumor immune microenvironment is crucial for better cancer treatment results.
- Researchers found that iron chelation boosts type I interferon production, which helps activate NK cells and improves their ability to target tumors.
- Additionally, combining iron chelation with the chemotherapy drug cisplatin shows promising effects in reducing metastatic ovarian cancer in mouse models.

Prcis: A large disk, a large parapapillary delta zone and a long axial length may be used as screening criteria to detect glaucomatous optic neuropathy in highly myopic eyes.
Purpose: To describe aspects for screening of glaucomatous optic neuropathy in dependence of refractive error, under special consideration of high myopia.
Methods/results: Studies on the anatomy of the myopic optic nerve head and results of investigations on the relationship between glaucomatous optic neuropathy and axial myopia were included.
