AI Article Synopsis
- Meningiomas are generally benign tumors in the central nervous system that can compress nearby structures but typically don't cause significant health issues on their own.
- Frontal meningiomas can lead to behavioral changes but often don't result in visual disturbances, though a case is presented where a large frontal meningioma caused progressive visual field loss without affecting visual clarity or behavior.
- The study emphasizes the importance of thorough eye examinations, including confrontation visual field testing, in diagnosing hidden intracranial tumors.
Article Abstract
Meningiomas are benign tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) that usually result in compression to adjacent structures and rarely cause pathology on their own. Meningiomas can affect the visual pathways originating from perineural or optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM), sellar, or clinoid, to the frontal-temporal-parietal-occipital lobes. Frontal meningiomas have an indolent presentation with frequent behavioral changes (i.e., personality or emotional changes, visual hallucinations), but they rarely present with visual disturbances. We present a case of a giant frontal meningioma causing progressive visual field loss despite preserved visual acuity and no behavioral changes. We aim to highlight the diagnostic value of performing a detailed ophthalmologic evaluation with confrontation visual field (CVF) testing and interpretation in aiding the discovery and diagnosis of intracranial tumors.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment is a common consequence of stroke, characterized by deficits in language, cognitive functioning, functional abilities. Innovative technological approaches, such as computerized cognitive retraining, offer promising strategies for mitigating the cognitive challenges. Despite their potential, the impact of these interventions on neuropsychological function and daily living capabilities has poor outcomes.

Touch is an inherent part of human social interactions and the diversity of its functions has been highlighted in numerous works. Given the varied roles of touch, with technology-mediated communication being a big part of our everyday lives, research has been interested in enabling and enhancing distant social interactions with mediated touch over networks. Due to the complexity of the sense of touch and technological limitations, multimodal devices have been developed and investigated.

In this article we consider the theoretical and methodological implications of Deleuzian fabulation for research on recovery from drugs and alcohol as an alternative way of making and doing methods in sociology. The article draws on data produced as part of an ongoing interdisciplinary research collaboration, begun in 2019, with the visual artist and filmmaker Melanie Manchot, social scientists Nicole Vitellone and Lena Theodoropoulou, and people in recovery from drugs and alcohol engaged in the production of Manchot's first feature film STEPHEN. This project attends to the methodological practice of filmmaking as a way of thinking with and alongside colleagues from divergent disciplines about the role of methods, concepts and practices for confronting and resisting processes of stigmatisation.

Amyloidosis is a rare disease that can affect genitourinary organs but the involvement of the prostate has been documented in a limited number of cases. We have reviewed morphologic and immunohistochemical features of prostate biopsies or surgical specimens in which an initial diagnosis of amyloidosis was made. Prostatic amyloidosis was diagnosed in 25 patients, 21 of them were needle biopsies (1.
