Spinal Dumbbell Meningiomas: A Systematic Review.

Ann Ital Chir

December 2024

Neurosurgery Unit, Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Garibaldi Hospital, 95124 Catania, Italy.

Aim: This systematic review aims to synthesize the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and outcomes of spinal dumbbell meningiomas to enhance understanding and improve patient management.

Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, four major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched until June 2024. Studies included patients diagnosed with spinal dumbbell intradural-extradural meningiomas, focusing on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The development of a new optical temperature sensing nanoprobe combines rare-earth-doped gadolinium oxide nanocrystals with mesoporous silica-coated gold nanorods to enhance tumor treatment by allowing real-time tissue temperature monitoring.
  • - This nanoprobe shows a significant increase in near-infrared photoluminescence when exposed to 980 nm irradiation, enhancing sensitivity for temperature changes, which is crucial for minimizing damage to healthy tissues during therapy.
  • - With its impressive temperature sensitivity of 7.25% K at 338 K and improved optical performance due to surface plasmon resonance, the nanoprobe holds great promise for advancing photothermal therapy techniques.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Key Laboratory for Pediatric Diseases of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, National Center for Children's Health (NCCH), Beijing 100045, China Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, Henan Children's Hospital, Zhengzhou Children's Hospital, Henan Province Engineering Research Center of Early Diagnosis and Precise Treatment of sleep disordered breathing, Zhengzhou 450018, China.

To analyze the clinical characteristics and endoscopic surgical procedures of the second branchial cleft cyst type Ⅳ in children. A retrospective review was conducted on 15 pediatric cases with type Ⅳ second branchial cleft cysts treated at the Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University and Henan Children's Hospital from September 2019 to November 2023. All patients underwent excision via a two-person, three-hand endoscopic transoral approach.

Advanced breast cancer, as well as ineffective treatments leading to surviving cancer cells, can result in the dissemination of these malignant cells from the primary tumor to distant organs. Recent research has shown that microRNA 200c (miR-200c) can hamper certain steps of the invasion-metastasis cascade. However, it is still unclear whether miR-200c expression alone is sufficient to prevent breast cancer cells from metastasis formation.

Report of a giant invasive, wall-penetrating cardiac lipoma.

J Cardiothorac Surg

October 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital, Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215123, China.

Article Synopsis
  • A cardiac lipoma is a rare, non-cancerous tumor found in the heart that can affect how the heart works.
  • In this case, a 35-year-old man had a tumor that grew both inside and outside his right atrium, which was discovered through imaging tests.
  • He had surgery to remove the tumor, and doctors confirmed it was a lipoma, with no problems found during a check-up three months later.
