AI Article Synopsis

  • Microphthalmic cysts are rare, with small ones often left untreated for orbital expansion, while larger cysts typically need drainage or surgery.
  • Complete excision of these cysts is challenging, with risks of reformation if done incompletely.
  • The text discusses a new technique using fibrin glue to successfully remove a large recurrent cyst in a 6-year-old child who had undergone multiple previous surgeries.

Article Abstract

Microphthalmic cysts are rare. Although small cysts can be left in situ to promote orbital expansion, large cysts require drainage or surgical excision. Complete surgical excision is notoriously difficult, and incomplete excision may result in cyst reformation. We describe a novel method of using fibrin glue to aid successful complete removal of a large recurrent microphthalmic cyst in a 6-year-old child who previously had multiple drainage and surgical attempts.

Objectives: The pathophysiological mechanisms of status epilepticus (SE) underlying potential brain injury remain largely unclear. This study aims to employ functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with video-electroencephalography (vEEG) to monitor brain hemodynamics continuously and non-invasively in critically ill adult patients experiencing electrographic SE. Our primary focus is to investigate neurovascular coupling and cerebrovascular changes associated with seizures, particularly during recurring and/or prolonged episodes.

Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic value of T1 histo-anatomic substaging (T1a/T1b) for high grade (HG) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) over a large single-centre cohort.

Materials And Methods: Patients with primary HG T1 NMIBC were identified from our Institutional database, between 2011 and 2022. Data from diagnosis to repeated transurethral resection of bladder tumour (RE-TURBT), bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment and follow-up were collected.

Atrial Fibrillation after RSV Vaccination Among Older Adults.

Clin Infect Dis

December 2024

Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Public Health, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA.

RSV vaccine clinical trials reported higher frequencies of atrial fibrillation in intervention groups compared to control. In this large, population-based, propensity-matched study, we found RSV vaccine was not associated with increased risk of new-onset or recurrent atrial fibrillation within 1-42 days compared to influenza or Tdap vaccines.

Occupational adjustments and work ability of young adult cancer survivors: results from the AYA-Leipzig study.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

December 2024

Department of Medical Psychology and Medical Sociology, Comprehensive Cancer Center Central Germany (CCCG), University Medical Center Leipzig, Philipp-Rosenthal-Str. 55, 04103, Leipzig, Germany.

Purpose: Adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYA-CS) face a long working life after treatment, yet factors related to a successful return to work remain largely unexplored. We therefore aimed to investigate the use of occupational adjustments and their impact on work ability upon return to work.

Methods: As part of the AYA-LE study, we surveyed AYA-CS (aged 18-39 at diagnosis) who returned to work and assessed work ability (Work Ability Index) as well as use and benefit of occupational adjustments.
