Histological types of brain tumors diagnosed at the Kenyatta National Hospital between 2016 and 2019: a retrospective study
ConclusionThis study highlights the existing burden of brain tumors in Kenya and data from KNH may be representative of the national burden of BTs. This study lays a foundation for subsequent clinical and epidemiological studies and emphasizes the need to adopt existing reporting standards to help realize a complete picture of the burden of brain tumors in Kenya.

PM2.5, vegetation density, and childhood cancer: a case-control registry-based study from Texas 1995-2011
DISCUSSION: Increasing early life exposure to PM2.5 increased the risk of childhood cancers. NDVI decreased risk of two cancers yet increased risk of others. These findings highlight the complexity between PM2.5 and NDVI in cancer etiology.PMID:38366656 | DOI:10.1093/jnci/djae035 (Source: Cancer Control)

Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome with long-term features of autism spectrum disorder: evidence in a 9-year-old girl after vermian medulloblastoma surgery
We report the 3-year cognitive-behavioral follow-up of a female patient (LZ) who underwent surgical ablation of the vermis due to medulloblastoma at age 9. LZ developed a severe post-operative Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS) with cognitive-executive dysfunctions and behavioral alterations resembling an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)-like syndrome. The lack of empathy and reduced ability to recognize others' intentions and mental states persisted at follow-up evaluations, as did language alterations. The present case report evidenced that lesions affecting cerebellar and vermal lobules may cause severe CCAS a...
