Introduction Pediatric hemifacial spasm (HFS) is rare, presenting early in infancy, and often fraught with subsequent psychomotor and intellectual deficits. Fourth ventricular hamartoma (FVH) is a rare cause of HFS with only 5 cases reported in literature. While Gamma-knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been used to treat hypothalamic hamartomas, this is the first case of FVH treated with primary GKRS.

Background: This study investigated changes in the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS), and minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) of these scores preoperatively to 2 years after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 168 patients who underwent primary cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA using the subvastus approach. The KOOS and KSS were assessed preoperatively and during the 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow ups.
Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasias grade 3 (NEN G3) are rare tumors with poor prognosis and no established second-line therapy. The role of immune checkpoint blockade in these aggressive tumors remains unclear.
Methods: The phase II AVENEC study evaluated the effect of avelumab (AVE, 10 mg/kg IV Q2W) in 60 patients with well-differentiated high-grade neuroendocrine tumors (NET G3, N=22) or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC, N=38) progressing after ≥ one prior chemotherapy (excluding Merkel cell and small-cell lung cancer).
Background: Plasma biomarkers have been widely evaluated as surrogate markers for brain Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, studies in diverse populations with lower socioeconomic status (SES) are limited. We evaluated associations between different plasma biomarkers and brain amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau positron emission tomography (PET) in a longitudinal cohort of cognitively normal participants from a medically- and economically-underserved Rust Belt region of Western Pennsylvania, USA.

Longitudinal studies indicate an annual conversion rate from MCI to AD of 10-15%. Our previous studies have shown decreased coherence values in visual event-related slow frequency bands including theta frequency.
