Optico-Chiasmatic Distortions in Pituitary Adenomas: Correlation Between Postoperative Morphological Reversal and Follow-Up Functional Visual Recovery.
World Neurosurg
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Bangalore, India.
Objective: To objectively correlate distortions of optic apparatus morphology in patients with pituitary adenomas undergoing trans-sphenoidal surgery.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, visual acuity (VA), visual field (VF), and total visual (TV) function were objectively scored in patients selected from an institutional cohort of pituitary adenomas. The following imaging measures of optico-chiasmatic morphology were recorded preoperatively, and at 3 months after surgery: chiasm area, mid-chiasm height (CH), optic nerve-canal bending angle (BA), and optic nerve kinking angle (ONKA).
Patients' and caregivers' perspective on challenges and outcomes with tube feeding: Analysis of home enteral nutrition survey data.

Background: Given the growing use of home enteral nutrition (HEN), assessing the experience of consumers and caregivers is crucial to understanding the real-world subjective and objective challenges of administering HEN.
Methods: After obtaining institutional review board approval, a survey was distributed to HEN consumers and caregivers between January 16, 2020, and July 16, 2021. Data collected included information regarding demographics, primary diagnosis, tube and connectors, HEN regimen, and overall HEN experience.
Article Synopsis
- Urate-lowering treatments (ULT) using xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) initially cause more gout flares, so researchers studied how inflammation responds to these treatments.
- Using proteomics, blood samples from gout patients at the start and after 48 weeks of ULT were analyzed, revealing significant changes in proteins associated with inflammation and complement pathways.
- The study found that successful XOI treatment led to a decrease in gout flares and identified key proteins that could help monitor anti-inflammatory responses in patients undergoing ULT.
Delayed paraparesis after posterior spinal fusion for congenital scoliosis: a case report.
Spinal Cord Ser Cases
April 2024
Division of Orthopedic Surgery, Department of Regenerative and Transplant Medicine, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata City, Japan.
Introduction: Although multimodal intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), which has high sensitivity and specificity, is typically performed during spinal deformity surgery, neurological status may deteriorate with delay after surgical maneuvers. Here, we report a rare case of delayed postoperative neurological deficit (DPND) that was not detected by IONM during posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for congenital scoliosis.
Case Presentation: A 14-year-old male presented with congenital scoliosis associated with T3 and T10 hemivertebrae.

A stray cat, an intact female Japanese domestic shorthair cat of unknown age (suspected to be a young adult), was rescued. The cat was lethargic and thin and had marked skin fragility, delayed wound healing without skin hyperextensibility, and hind limb proprioceptive ataxia and paresis. Survey radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed congenital vertebral anomalies, including thoracolumbar transitional vertebrae, scoliosis resulting from a thoracic lateral wedge-shaped vertebra, and a kinked tail, and a dilated spinal cord central canal.
