Pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing can lead to more accurate medicine selection and dosing, improving patient outcomes and leading to better use of health care budgets. Loss-of-function variants in CYP2C19 influence an individual's ability to metabolize clopidogrel, increasing the risk of secondary vascular events following ischemic stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention. In acute clinical contexts, centralized laboratory-based testing is too slow to inform timely clinical decision-making.

Background: Brainstem cavernous malformations (BCM) constitute one of the most controversial and challenging neurological pathologies: both natural course and surgical manipulation can lead to severe neurological symptoms by direct compression or following hemorrhage of this highly eloquent brain region.

Methods: The vascular section of the prospectively collected neurosurgical database of our center (2011-2023) was retrospectively reviewed, seeking all patients operated on for a sporadic BCM. Clinical, radiological and surgical data, operative records and videos were analyzed by independent reviewers with the assistance of a dedicated neuropsychologist, blinded to the hospital course.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone, although benign, poses significant challenges due to its locally aggressive nature and high recurrence rates post-surgical intervention. Among skeletal GCTs, those affecting the distal radius present unique difficulties, especially when fungating masses encase vital structures such as blood vessels.

Case Report: We present a case of a 28-year-old male with a recurring GCT of the distal radius, where limb-preserving surgery was successfully performed despite encasement of the radial artery.

Progressive neurologic signs without a known underlying etiology have been observed in managed gibbon populations housed at institutions in North America. In 2018, the Gibbon Species Survival Plan initiated a veterinary survey to evaluate clinical histories among gibbons displaying neurologic signs. The clinical results of this survey as well as the results of a centralized histologic review of brain samples from 5 species of managed gibbons displaying neurologic signs are outlined here.
