Awake brain mapping by direct cortical stimulation; technical note to get higher resection rate and low morbidity in low-grade glioma patients
CONCLUSION: Functional realignment in shifted brain and edema can be seen while doing cortical and subcortical stimulation. Most of the stimulation from low to high for language mapping may vary from patient to patient. For safe removal of low-grade glioma a steep learning curve is needed to find out the negative areas, though the authors emphasize positive mapping of areas to secure the maximum eloquence.PMID:38576956 | PMC:PMC10990364 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001837 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Chorea as the only presenting clinical feature of rheumatic fever: a case report
CONCLUSION: Any child presenting with a movement disorder should also be considered for SC, necessitating additional testing, including a cardiovascular assessment. It needs to be distinguished from other causes of movement disorders as well as psychiatric conditions. Treatment is necessary for moderate to severe chorea that interfere with daily activities. Compliance with subsequent antibiotic prophylaxis is essential for avoiding future cardiac complications.PMID:38576957 | PMC:PMC10990359 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001798 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Meconium aspiration syndrome: from pathophysiology to treatment
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Feb 15;86(4):2023-2031. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001835. eCollection 2024 Apr.ABSTRACTMeconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a clinical condition characterized by respiratory distress in neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Despite advances in obstetric practices and perinatal care, MAS remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in term and post-term newborns. Since the 1960s, there have been significant changes in the perinatal and postnatal management of infants born through MSAF. Routine endotracheal suctioning is no longer recommended in both vigorous and n...
