Chagas disease is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan. One of the complications of the disease is the infection of the central nervous system (CNS), as it can result from either the acute phase or by reactivation during the chronic phase, exhibiting high mortality in immunocompromised patients. This systemati…

AIMS: Aim of the present analysis was to report results of a systematic review of the literature in the setting of patients treated with hypoF PT for benign lesions of the central nervous system (CNS). METHODS: The methodology complied with the PRISMA recommendations. PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases were interroga…

BACKGROUND: While papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with high occult central neck metastasis (CNM) rates, prophylactic central neck dissection (pCND) is controversial. This meta-analysis aims to look at the occult CNM rate according to tumor size. METHODS: A literature search was conducted in PubMed from…

Primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the central nervous system (CNS) is a subtype of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). There are very few comprehensive reports on this extremely rare tumor. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors for primary ALCL of the CNS. We pe…

Shorter telomere length is associated with numerous comorbidities; central obesity might trigger leukocyte telomere shortening; in the current meta-analysis we evaluated the association of central obesity with leukocyte telomere length among adults. A systematic search from Scopus, PubMed, Embase and Proquest electroni…

BACKGROUND: Central venous pressure (CVP) and right atrial pressure (RAP) are important parameters in the complete hemodynamic assessment of a patient. Sonographic measurement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter is a non-invasive method of estimating these parameters, but there are limited data summarizing its dia…

Solitary pulmonary capillary hemangioma (SPCH) is a very rare disease that has been reported to be difficult to diagnose preoperatively because the unenhanced computed tomography (CT) findings resemble adenocarcinoma in appearance. On the other hand, the findings of contrast-enhanced (CE) CT have not been reported as f…

Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the shells of crustaceans that has been proposed as a scaffold in tissue engineering. Certain studies have proven a greater osseointegration of titanium surfaces that are functionalized with chitosan. The MEDLINE, CENTRAL, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were ele…

The prototype version of the full-text corpus of Genomics & Informatics has recently been archived in a GitHub repository. The full-text publications of volumes 10 through 17 are also directly downloadable from PubMed Central (PMC) as XML files. During the Biomedical Linked Annotation Hackathon 6 (BLAH6), we experiment…

The aim of the present review is to describe the current status of early childhood caries (ECC) in Israel in aspects of epidemiology, prevention, and management.PubMed search was performed using the words caries, children, Israel. Demographic data was collected from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics.The decayed,…

OBJECTIVE: To review hot issues and future direction of renal tumor biopsy (RTB) technique. DATA SOURCES: The literature concerning or including RTB technique in English was collected from PubMed published from 1990 to 2015. STUDY SELECTION: We included all the relevant articles on RTB technique in English, with no l…

Connectomics is a comprehensive mapping of structural and functional brain networks. It has introduced a paradigm shift in neurosurgery by redefining brain tumors as network disorders rather than isolated lesions. Unlike traditional surgeries, connectome-guided neurosurgery conceptualizes brain tumors as network disord…

: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a significant public health threat in Central Asia, where rising resistance to first-line anti-TB drugs challenges control efforts. As of 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 2.5% of new TB cases and 18% of previously treated cases are resistant…

OBJECTIVES: Based on current evidence, this systematic review focuses on various gray areas related to these patients' diagnosis, management, and follow-up in central skull base osteomyelitis (CSBO). STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review of all case reports and observational studies. METHODS: We systematically searched P…

BACKGROUND: Central nervous system (CNS) disorders benefit from ongoing monitoring to assess disease progression and treatment efficacy. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer a means for the remote and continuous symptom monitoring of patients. Machine Learning (ML) techniques can process and engineer mHealth data…

Salidroside (SAL) is a phenylpropanoid glycoside monomer extracted from Rhodiola at high altitudes. It has been proven to have protective effects on myocardial injury, liver cancer, renal fibrosis, and other organ diseases, as well as play neuroprotective roles in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Specifically, SA…

OBJECTIVE: Due to the special anatomical structure and pathophysiological mechanism of the central nervous system (CNS), there is a big difference between the repair of brain injury and other systems of the body. More and more evidence shows that targetedly reducing the autoimmune response of brain tissue without affec…

AIM: To assess the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy for managing oral lichen planus (OLP) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), including their outcomes and patient satisfaction with the safety profile. METHOD: A systematic review was conducted by searching electronic databases like PubMed Central, PubMe…

BACKGROUND: The diathesis-stress paradigm and the cannabinoid-hypothesis have been proposed as possible pathophysiological models of schizophrenia. However, they have historically been studied independently of each other. OBJECTIVE: This PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review aimed at reappraising the interplay betwe…

BACKGROUND: With rapid emergence of 3D printing technology, surgeons have recently started to apply this for nearly all areas of orthopaedic trauma surgery. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance images of trauma patients can be utilized for making graspable objects from 3D reconstructed images. Patient specific ana…
