Purpose: The Posterior Fossa Society (PFS) was founded 4 years ago to systematically gather and exchange information on the post-operative (CMS) and cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS). With its consensus meetings, the PFS orchestrates research studies in the field of cerebellar injury and progresses the knowledge of post-operative pediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS). In this article, we captured the 3-day program of presentations, group discussions, interactive workshops, and dialogue, highlighting the key topic areas of CMS and its research advances.
Methods: This synopsis is based on the third consensus meeting which was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in August 2018.
Results: Three working groups have been defined to drive the future research priorities on post-surgical CMS: (i) refining definition and symptoms scoring of CMS; (ii) understanding the pathogenesis and enhancing risk-stratification strategies; and (iii) developing rehabilitation approaches and protocols.
Conclusions: The third consensus meeting highlighted a unanimous desire for data-driven information to advance the knowledge and guide future research efforts. The PFS constitutes an established and expanding network of multi-disciplinary expertise that can facilitate the development of collaborative studies and produce official guidelines on the topic.

Background: The efficacy of local control for pancreatic cancer liver metastases (PCLM), including surgical treatment, remains controversial, with no consensus on the management and clinical significance of disappearing liver metastases (DLMs). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical implications of DLMs in treating PCLM after multi-agent chemotherapy, utilizing contrast-enhanced imaging modalities.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent curative resection for pancreatic cancer with synchronous or metachronous liver metastases between 2014 and 2023.
Unlabelled: Transparent and accurate reporting in early phase dose-finding (EPDF) clinical trials is crucial for informing subsequent larger trials. The SPIRIT statement, designed for trial protocol content, does not adequately cover the distinctive features of EPDF trials. Recent findings indicate that the protocol contents in past EPDF trials frequently lacked completeness and clarity.

Study Objective: Stillbirth is burdensome in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Currently, there are two core outcome sets (COS) for stillbirth (prevention and bereavement care), but these were developed with limited reflection of the needs of parents in an LMIC setting. To address this gap, the objective of this study was to establish consensus on the most important outcomes for stillbirth prevention and bereavement care following stillbirth in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

HIV-prevention efforts focusing on women of child-bearing potential are needed to end the HIV epidemic in the African region. The use of antiretroviral drugs as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a critical HIV prevention tool. However, safety data on new antiretrovirals during pregnancy are often limited because pregnant people are excluded from drug development studies.
