This paper is a review of the effects of bullying on children and adolescents. We begin with a case report of a young male who presented at a children's hospital emergency room after being subjected to months of bullying. We then proceed to a review of relevant literature, and focus on a definition of bullying, the incidence of this problem, and the characteristics of bullies, victims and those who both bully and are bullied. The consequences of this behaviour, both for the perpetrator and victim, are also examined. We note that all individuals who participate in bullying, whether as perpetrators, victims, or those who have been both the perpetrators and the targets of this particular form of aggression, have in some way been psychologically affected by such experiences. It is hoped that the significance of bullying behaviour, and its psychological cost on the psychological well-being of the children and adolescents involved with bullying, will be a central theme of this review.

The current study was deployed to evaluate the role of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and miR-155, along with the inflammatory markers, TNFα and IL-6, and the adhesion molecule, cluster of differentiation 106 (CD106), in Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis. The study also assessed MALAT1/miR-155 as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for BD. The current retrospective case-control study included 74 Egyptian BD patients and 50 age and sex-matched controls.

Background: Reaching parenchymal segments of the lateral lenticulostriate artery (LSA) perforators, which represent the medial resection limit in insular gliomas (IG), remains a challenge. The currently described methods are indirect and sometimes, imprecise.
Methods: We report an antegrade direct skeletonization technique to identify these tiny arteries at the medial end of IGs with an illustrative case of grade 2 astrocytoma.
