: To assess the spectrum and treatment outcomes of inflammatory eye disease (IED) in subjects with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).: We conducted a single center retrospective chart review of 236 patients with HS seen for ophthalmic examination between 2013 and 2018.: Of 236 subjects with HS, 22 subjects (9.3%) were found to have IED. Seven of 22 subjects had more than one IED diagnosis. Anterior uveitis was the most common type of IED (40.9% of subjects with IED). Episcleritis, optic neuritis, keratitis, scleritis, intermediate and posterior uveitis, trochleitis, and dacryoadenitis were also observed. Of subjects with HS and IED, 59.1% did not have any other inflammatory or autoimmune disease that could explain the etiology of their IED. Eleven patients with IED were treated with systemic immunosuppression, with IED as the principal factor directing treatment in three patients.: IED may be independently associated with HS and may benefit from systemic immunosuppression.

Impacts of Calculation Grid Spacing and Statistical Uncertainty of Monte Carlo Algorithm on Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning With Volumetric-Modulated Arcs for Single Brain Metastases Using the Monaco® System.

Purpose In linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) utilizing a multileaf collimator (MLC) for brain metastases (BMs), a volumetric-modulated arc (VMA) technique is indispensable for generating a suitable dose distribution with efficient planning and delivery. However, the optimal calculation grid spacing (GS) and statistical uncertainty (SU) of the Monte Carlo algorithm for VMA optimization have yet to be determined. This planning study aimed to examine the impacts of GS and GU settings on VMA-based SRS planning and to find the optimal combination for templating.

Dysfunction in fear and stress responses is intrinsically linked to various neurological diseases, including anxiety disorders, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Previous studies using in vivo models with Immediate-Extinction Deficit (IED) and Stress Enhanced Fear Learning (SEFL) protocols have provided valuable insights into these mechanisms and aided the development of new therapeutic approaches. However, assessing these dysfunctions in animal subjects using IED and SEFL protocols can cause significant pain and suffering.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates white matter (WM) changes in newly diagnosed epilepsy patients who had a first seizure, focusing on differences in WM integrity compared to healthy controls using diffusion imaging.
- Results showed that first-seizure patients exhibited decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) in specific brain areas, including the corpus callosum, indicating microstructural abnormalities even before a formal epilepsy diagnosis.
- The findings suggest that patients who go on to develop epilepsy show distinct WM alterations compared to those who do not, highlighting the significance of early brain changes in the epileptogenic process.
Acute effects of Mozart K.448 on interictal epileptiform discharges in adult patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy: A crossover randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated if listening to Mozart K.448 could reduce interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in adults with drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
- It used a crossover randomized controlled trial design with 26 participants, who were divided into two groups: one listening to Mozart and the other in silence.
- Results showed that 61.5% of patients listening to Mozart had significant IED reduction, and the Mozart group had fewer IEDs compared to the control group, suggesting that the music may help manage epilepsy symptoms, especially in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Assessment of tracheobronchial and lung dose due to radon and thoron inhalation.
J Pak Med Assoc
October 2024
Department of Physics, University of Kufa, Iraq.
The main sources of natural background radiation are radon, thoron and their progeny, which may cause health risks to humans. Keeping in mind the importance of the subject, three samples each from 10 selected residential areas, including the centre of Babylon Governorate, Iraq, and its districts, were collected. Concentration of radon and thoron was measured using solid-state track detectors (CR-39).
