Abstract

Meningioma is a common tumor of the central nervous system in adults, accounting for 10%-20% of all primary intracranial tumors. It is rare in children, with an incidence of 2.19% (0.85%-2.3%). Although there are numerous case reports in the literature, no firm conclusions can be drawn. For this report we accumulated, reviewed, and analyzed reports in the literature from 1960-93. A total of 318 patients with meningioma were managed in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre from 1981-93. Nine of these patients (2.8%) were children aged 16 years or less. These cases were analyzed retrospectively with regard to age, sex, clinical presentation, radiologic finding, pathologic findings, management and outcome. Childhood meningioma represented 2.8% of all meningioma cases and 2.2% of all central nervous system tumors seen in children. There were six males and three females. The average age at presentation was 10.1 years (range 1-16 years). There were four cases of meningioma in the orbit an one each in the temporal region, foramen magnum, tentorial region, subfrontal base, sellar region and ethmoidal air sinus. There were two cases of multiple meningioma. Meningothelial meningioma was the type most frequently seen. Mening...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
