The illustrious Colombian Professor Salomón Hakim provided the annals of neurology with one of the most brilliant and original bodies of research on record, developing the concept of normal pressure hydrocephalus, as well as proving that ventricular shunting is an effective treatment. Thus, Professor Hakim proved that some of the dementias, at that time considered senile, could be successfully treated. Here the authors present an historical review of his main contributions, which continue to influence the study of dementia to this day.

Leveraging machine learning algorithms to forecast delayed cerebral ischemia following subarachnoid hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 5,115 participants.

It is feasible to predict delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) using Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which may offer significant improvements in early diagnosis and patient management. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the efficacy of machine learning (ML) in predicting DCI, aiming to integrate complex clinical data to enhance diagnostic accuracy. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, and Embase databases without restrictions until June 2024, applying PRISMA guidelines.

Purpose: We observed that the tumor microenvironment (TME) in metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and in other solid tumors can reprogram normal neutrophils to acquire a complement-dependent suppressor phenotype characterized by inhibition of stimulated T cell activation. This study aims to evaluate whether serum markers of neutrophil activation and complement at diagnosis of EOC would be associated with clinical outcomes.
Experimental Design: We conducted a two-center prospective study of patients with newly diagnosed EOC (N = 188).
Comparative analysis of disruptive events in robotic and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
J Robot Surg
January 2025
Sengupta Urology, Glen Waverley, Vic, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares laparoscopic and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy to identify types of disruptive events during surgery, using rigorous video analysis and consultations with surgeons.
- The analysis of 54 surgeries revealed that robotic-assisted procedures had significantly fewer disruptions, with around 41% fewer external and 33% fewer internal disruptions compared to laparoscopic methods.
- Key findings include that RARP resulted in fewer major disruptions due to better visibility and improved surgical coordination, highlighting the advantages of robotic assistance in complex surgeries like radical prostatectomy.
Design, characterization, and evaluation of magnetic carboxymethylated β-cyclodextrin as a pH-sensitive carrier system for amantadine delivery: a novel approach for targeted drug delivery.
RSC Adv
January 2025
Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Hakim Sabzevari University Sabzevar Iran
Article Synopsis
- A magnetic carboxymethylated β-cyclodextrin (Mag/CM-β-CD) was created as a drug delivery system, forming an inclusion complex with the drug amantadine (Amn) and analyzed using various scientific techniques.
- The study found that Mag/CM-β-CD could encapsulate about 81.51% of amantadine and demonstrated a pH-sensitive drug release, with faster release at acidic conditions, following a Fickian diffusion mechanism.
- Cytotoxicity tests showed that the Mag/CM-β-CD/Amn complex had low toxicity on HUVEC cells, indicating it could be an effective and safe option for targeted drug delivery applications.
