The care of patients with both high-grade glioma and low-grade glioma necessitates an interdisciplinary collaboration between neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, neurologists and other practitioners. In this review, we aim to detail the considerations, approaches and advances in the neurosurgical care of gliomas. We describe the impact of extent-of-resection in high-grade and low-grade glioma, with particular focus on primary and recurrent glioblastoma. We address advances in surgical methods and...

CONCLUSION: We will study these protocols in the Benchmark Evidence from Latin America-Treatment of Raised Intracranial Pressure-Pediatrics trial in low- and middle-income countries. Second, we present them here for consideration as prototype pediatric sTBI management algorithms in the absence of published alternatives, acknowledging their limited evidentiary status. Therefore, herein, we describe our study design only, not recommended treatment protocols.

Computed tomography (CT) scanning protocols should be optimized to minimize the radiation dose necessary for imaging. The addition of computationally generated noise to the CT images facilitates dose reduction. The objective of this study was to develop a noise addition method that reproduces the complexity of the noise texture present in clinical images with directionality that varies over images according to the underlying anatomy, requiring only Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine...

CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight the relevance of anatomical location, preoperative diagnosis, ASA class, and length of surgery regarding the predictability of postoperative ICU admission. Our data allowed for more sophisticated estimates regarding the need for ICU treatment after dorsal spine surgery, guiding the surgeon through patient selection, communication, and ICU admission predictability.

White mold caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious disease affecting many field and specialty crops in New York (NY). The primary inoculum for white mold is sclerotia that are hardened masses of mycelia that survive adverse environmental conditions and periods of non-hosts. However, NY crop guidelines lack rotation and residue management recommendations based on local knowledge of sclerotial survival. A field trial was established in October 2020 by deploying S. sclerotiorum sclerotia in...

BACKGROUND: Perinatal depression affects an estimated 1 in 5 women in North America during the perinatal period, with annualized lifetime costs estimated at $20.6 billion CAD in Canada and over $45.9 billion USD in the US. Access to psychological treatments remains limited for most perinatal women suffering from depression and anxiety. Some barriers to effective care can be addressed through task-sharing to non-specialist providers and through telemedicine platforms. The cost-effectiveness of...

Efforts are underway globally to develop effective vaccines and drugs against M. tuberculosis (Mtb) to reduce the morbidity and mortality of tuberculosis. Improving detection of slow-growing mycobacteria could simplify and accelerate efficacy studies of vaccines and drugs in animal models and human clinical trials. Here, a real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) assay was developed to detect pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) of Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and Mtb. This...

A common practice exists in hospitals where extra tubes of blood are collected for possible add-on testing, this practice contributes to wastage of consumables. Baseline estimates from a 5-month local lab information system audit revealed that ~65 extra tubes per day were being collected, with an additional 2-week manual audit of all extra tubes received in the laboratory confirming the practice. The audits showed that the majority of the tubes (~99%) were being drawn from the adult emergency...

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The PROUD cluster randomized clinical trial intervention meaningfully increased PC OUD treatment, albeit unevenly across health systems; however, it did not decrease acute care utilization among patients with OUD.

CONCLUSIONS: In this work we demonstrate the universality of the golden hour effect, in which procedures lasting more than 1 hour are associated with worse clinical outcomes and higher rates of sICH across different subpopulations of patients undergoing EVT.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to be a key component of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, intellectual disability, and ADHD. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that protect against mitochondrial dysfunction during neurodevelopment. Here, we address this question through the investigation of rbm-26 , the C. elegans ortholog of the RBM27 autism candidate gene, which encodes an RNA-binding protein whose role in neurons is unknown. We report that RBM-26...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can damage the hypothalamus and cause improper activation of the growth hormone (GH) axis, leading to growth hormone deficiency (GHD). GHD is one of the most prevalent endocrinopathies following TBI in adults; however, the extent to which GHD affects juveniles remains understudied. We used postnatal day 17 rats (n = 83), which model the late infantile/toddler period, and assessed body weights, GH levels, and number of hypothalamic somatostatin neurons at acute (1, 7...

A key goal of molecular modeling is the accurate reproduction of the true quantum mechanical potential energy of arbitrary molecular ensembles with a tractable classical approximation. The challenges are that analytical expressions found in general purpose force fields struggle to faithfully represent the intermolecular quantum potential energy surface at close distances and in strong interaction regimes; that the more accurate neural network approximations do not capture crucial physics...
