It had long been considered that no new neurons are generated in the primate brain beyond birth, but recent studies have indicated that neurogenesis persists in various locations throughout the lifespan. The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is of particular interest due to the postulated role played by neurogenesis in memory. However, studies investigating the presence of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) have reported contradictory findings, and no systematic review of the evidence has been conducted to date.

Introduction: In adult-onset asthma, two major endotypes have been proposed: T2 with eosinophilia and non-T2 characterised by neutrophils and interleukin (IL)-17. The objective of the study was to examine the endotype marker profile in patients with severe asthma who were hospitalized for exacerbations, with a focus on differentiating between viral and non-viral triggers.
Material And Methods: Forty-nine patients with asthma, admitted for exacerbations, and 51 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited.

Hamman's syndrome, or spontaneous pneumomediastinum, refers to free air in the mediastinum without an apparent cause and typically affects young people. This case report describes a 33-year-old man who presented with neck swelling following excessive vomiting due to alcohol consumption. Clinical examination revealed subcutaneous emphysema of the neck, and imaging confirmed pneumomediastinum.

Background: Blood pressure monitoring is important in the pre-hospital management of critically ill patients. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements are commonly used but the accuracy of standard oscillometric cuff devices may be affected by extremes of physiology and adverse conditions (e.g.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a form of soft tissue sarcoma that can arise from muscle or fibrous tissue almost anywhere in the body. The two major subtypes of RMS are alveolar and embryonal, whereas the two rarer subtypes are pleomorphic, which typically occurs in adults, and the spindle cell/sclerosing variant, typically seen in children. RMS usually involves the extremities, the head and neck or the genitourinary system.

Introduction: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most frequently performed procedure for obesity worldwide. Staple line reinforcement (SLR) has been suggested as a strategy to reduce the risk of staple line leak or bleeding; however, its use for SG in the United Kingdom (UK) is unknown. This study examined the effect of SLR on the development of postoperative complications from SG using a large national dataset from the UK.

Hamman's syndrome or Macklin phenomenon - spontaneous pneumomediastinum - is an uncommon condition that often gets missed due to the lack of awareness. It may rarely be associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) due to repeated vomiting or Kussmaul breathing associated with it. This condition is self-resolving, and improvement in symptoms is usually observed with appropriate management of DKA.

The deltoid ligament plays a key role in ankle stability. Ankle fractures involving the medial ligamentous complex are evaluated on the basis of medial-sided tenderness and the Ottawa ankle rules. Evolution in our understanding of this ligament over the last three decades has shown that, within this medial ligamentous complex, it is the deep deltoid ligament that confers mechanical stability.

Purpose: Time to surgery from admission is one of the few variables known to influence outcome after a hip fracture. We reviewed our hip fracture database to determine correlation between delays to surgery and mortality in our elderly hip fracture population.
Methods: Data on all hip fracture patients admitted to a large district hospital were prospectively collected between January 1989 and August 2021.

Subjectivity and ambiguity of visual field classification limits the accuracy and reliability of glaucoma diagnosis, prognostication, and management decisions. Standardised rules for classifying glaucomatous visual field defects exist, but these are labour-intensive and therefore impractical for day-to-day clinical work. Here a web-application, Glaucoma Field Defect Classifier (GFDC), for automatic application of Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson, is presented and validated in a cross-sectional study.

To provide an in-depth analysis of noninvasive methods for the early diagnosis of oral premalignant lesions, focusing on novel biomarkers and optical technologies, and to discuss their potential in improving the prognosis of patients with oral oncological diseases. This state-of-the-art review examines various noninvasive diagnostic techniques, including the utilization of salivary microRNAs and optical technologies such as Raman spectroscopy, elastic scattering spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, narrow-band imaging, autofluorescence imaging, toluidine blue staining, and microendoscopy. Several noninvasive techniques have shown varying degrees of effectiveness in detecting oral cancer.

Objective: Consensus guidelines on the optimal management of infected arterial pseudoaneurysms secondary to groin injecting drug use are lacking. This pathology is a problem in the UK and globally, yet operative management options remain contentious. This study was designed to establish consensus to promote better management of these patients, drawing on the expert experience of those in a location with a high prevalence of illicit drug use.

PARTNER is a prospective, phase II-III, randomized controlled clinical trial that recruited patients with triple-negative breast cancer, who were germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 wild type. Here we report the results of the trial. Patients (n = 559) were randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive neoadjuvant carboplatin-paclitaxel with or without 150 mg olaparib twice daily, on days 3 to 14, of each of four cycles (gap schedule olaparib, research arm) followed by three cycles of anthracycline-based chemotherapy before surgery.
