Semi-sitting position and retrosigmoid approach for a large petroclival meningioma resection: 3-dimensional operative video.

Background: Petroclival meningiomas are still a neurosurgical challenge due to their proximity to cranial nerves and cerebral vasculature along the surgical corridor. The usual extension of large petroclival meningiomas is along the posterior fossa, frequently compromising and displacing adjunct cranial nerves such as the sixth and seventh-eight cranial nerve complex with brainstem compression, causing progressive neurological deficit and severe headache. The goal of sizeable petroclival meningioma surgery treatment is a maximal resection with preservation of neurological function.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the breast in a male patient following cosmetic surgery: a rare case report.

Background: Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the breast is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive tumor that typically affects women. Its presentation in male patients is exceedingly rare, and even more so following a cosmetic procedure such as liposuction. This case report describes a unique presentation of breast fibromatosis in a male patient, who developed the condition after undergoing liposuction for cosmetic purposes to define the pectoral area.

Advancing high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound: a histology- and anatomy-driven approach for enhanced shoulder imaging. Part 2: Anterior and lateral shoulder.

Ultrasonography is a reliable imaging technique for the accurate diagnosis and evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders. Recent developments in ultrasound technology have significantly increased image resolution, making it possible to see anatomical features at almost microscopic dimensions. Current standards for standardized shoulder ultrasonography mostly depend on outdated machine types and configurations that may not fully utilize these high-resolution imaging capabilities.

A pilot study on the efficacy of a telomerase activator in regulating the proliferation of A375 skin cancer cell line.

Introduction: The changes in histone modifications are linked to the progression of benign and normal tissue to malignancy. Thus, numerous findings suggest that targeting epigenetic factors might be a focus for anti-cancer treatment. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that telomerase activator might be a potential epigenetic regulator in combatting skin cancer cell proliferation.

Open versus endoscopic surgery with helmet molding therapy in non-syndromic patients with craniosynostosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical outcomes and treatment-related costs.

Objective: There is an ongoing debate regarding the optimal treatment for craniosynostosis as diverse factors influence the election between endoscopic and open surgery. Previous evidence favors endoscopic procedures. However, evidence remains unfulfilled by a limited number of patients and clustered in very few centers worldwide making it difficult to define it as a replicable technique in different populations.

Despotic leadership and followers creativity: exploring the combined effects of power distance and psychological safety.

This research investigates how despotic leadership influences follower creativity within the hospitality context. Grounded in social exchange theory (SET), the research delves into the mediating role of psychological safety in the link between despotic leadership and follower creativity. Additionally, it explores how power distance moderates this relationship, potentially alleviating the adverse implications of despotic leadership.

Profile of bacterial resistance in emergency wards, non-intensive care unit areas, and intensive care units in Mexican hospitals with the antimicrobial stewardship program.

Objectives: Bacterial infections are important causes of death. Some reports have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on drug resistance.
