Evaluation and Treatment of Patients with Small Posterior Cranial Fossa and Chiari Malformation, Types 0 and 1
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;50:307-334. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_11.ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of Chiari I malformation is straightforward in patients with typical signs and symptoms of Chiari I malformation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirming ≥5 mm of cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, with or without a syrinx. However, in many cases, Chiari I malformation is discovered incidentally on MRI to evaluate global headache, cervical radiculopathy, or other conditions. In those cases, the clinician must consider if cerebellar tonsillar ectopia is related to the presenting symptoms. Surgical decompression of the cere...

Acquired methemoglobinemia due to nitrobenzene poisoning: An unusual acquaintance
Key Clinical MessageNitrobenzene poisoning is a rare yet life-threatening contention. The ensuing acute methemoglobinemia has a high fatality rate, hence early prompt intervention is required. Methylene blue (intravenous or oral) and ascorbic acid are the cornerstones of management. They must be administered to suspected patients without tardiness.AbstractAn aromatic organic chemical used in paints and the printing industry is nitrobenzene. Its poisoning causes potentially fatal methemoglobinemia. One aspect of its management involves reducing the iron moiety from its ferric to ferrous form by administering intravenous met...

Blood vessel organoids generated by base editing and harboring single nucleotide variation in Notch3 effectively recapitulate CADASIL-related pathogenesis
In this study, we focused onin vitro modeling and therapeutic target finding of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), the most common form of hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. Despite the identification of these mutations, the underlying pathological mechanism is elusive, and effective therapeutic approaches are lacking. CADASIL primarily affects the blood vessels in the brain, leading to ischemic strokes, migraines, and dementia. By employing CRISPR/Cas9 base-editing technology, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cell...

Self-reported Side Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination

The aim of this study is to investigate the type and frequency of adverse reactions to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a randomly selected cohort of unrelated individuals. Adverse reactions to the first/second dose of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine were recorded using an online reporting system called "Pabbly". Patients were asked via social media to report any symptoms temporarily associated with vaccination. One hundred subjects were enrolled. The mean a...

Myofascial Release for the Treatment of Tension-Type, Cervicogenic Headache or Migraine: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: The meta-analysis results indicate that MFR intervention can significantly alleviate pain and disability in TTH and CGH. For migraine, however, the results were inconsistent, and there was only moderate quality evidence of disability improvement for TTH and CGH. In contrast, the quality of other evidence was low or very low.PMID:38585645 | PMC:PMC10999287 | DOI:10.1155/2024/2042069 (Source: Pain Research and Management)
