Optic nerve sheath meningioma endoscopic endonasal surgical management
Authors: Paredes Igor , Alén José Antonio Fernandez , García Alfredo , García Esther , Lagares Alfonso 
Published: May 2020

Background:
Meningiomas of the optic sheath have been traditionally treated with radiotherapy, among other reasons, because of the poor results in terms of visual preservation of the open surgical approaches.

Case Description:
Two cases of optic nerve meningioma were operated through an endoscopic endonasal expanded approach due to rapidly progressing visual deterioration and doubtful diagnosis. In the first case an exclusively bone decompression was performed. In the second one a partial resection of the intradural portion and complete opening of the dural sheath was undertaken. In both cases visual acuity remained stable without further treatment for the 2 years follow up.

Conclusions:
Endoscopic endonasal decompression of the optic nerve by removal of the optic canal and opening of the optic sheath is safe. This approach is feasible for optic sheath meningioma. This treatment might be considered as an option in patients with rapidly deteriorating visual acuity.
Can early cranioplasty reduce the incidence of hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy? A meta-analysis
Authors: Nasi Davide , Dobran Mauro 
Published: May 2020

Background:
Do alterations of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics secondary to decompressive craniectomy (DC) lead to hydrocephalus, and can this effect be mitigated by early cranioplasty (CP)? In this meta-analysis, we evaluated whether the timing of CP decreased the incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus.

Methods:
We performed a systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for English language articles (1990–2020). We included case series, case–control, and cohort studies, and clinical trials assessing the incidence of hydrocephalus in adult patients undergoing early CP (within 3 months) versus late CP (after 3 months) after DC.

Results:
Eleven studies matched the inclusion criteria. The rate of postoperative hydrocephalus was not significantly different between the early (=96/1063; 9.03%) and late CP (=65/966; 6.72%) group (P = 0.09). Only in the three studies specifically reporting on the rate of hydrocephalus after DC performed to address traumatic brain injury (TBI) alone was there a significantly lower incidence of hydrocephalus with early CP (P = 0.01).

Conclusion:
Early CP (within 90 days) after DC performed in TBI patients alone was associated with a lower incidence of hydrocephalus. However, this finding was not corroborated in the remaining eight studies involving CP for pathology exclusive of TBI.
Management of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula in a child with myelopathy
Authors: Rajadurai Jeremy , Kohan Saeed , Wenderoth Jason 
Published: May 2020

Background:
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are rare intradural spinal lesions. Patients with DAVF are typically in the 40’s or 50’s, and classically present with acute neurological deterioration. Notably, these lesions are exceedingly rare in the pediatric age group.

Case Description:
A 2-year-old child presented with the sudden onset of lethargy, and 4/5 weakness of the left lower extremity with accompanying ataxia. The cervicothoracic MR scan revealed central cord edema from C5 to T4. A DAVF was diagnosed based on the multiple dilated intradural perimedullary veins. Following endovascular treatment, the child markedly recovered and remained stable 2 years later.

Conclusion:
DAVFs are treatable lesions that rarely occur in the pediatric age group. They are associated with serious neurological morbidity. When suspected, they should be immediately diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance angiography, and formal angiography. Prompt neurosurgical and neuroradiological/ endovascular opinions and intervention should be sought to provide and the best treatment strategy.

Authors: Bhuvaneswari G.  
Published: May 2020

WHO Global Database on Anaemia for 1993-2005, covering almost half of the world’s population, estimated the prevalence of anaemia worldwide at 25 per cent.The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of honey dates amla mix on biochemical markers among adolescent girls with Iron deficiency anaemia. Quantitative experimental and control group pre and post-test design was used in this study. The study was conducted among adolescent girls in two different residential homes. Total study population is 170 adolescent girls were selected by simple random sampling technique. 85 adolescents girls were assigned to the experimental group and 85 participants in control group. For experimental group honey dates amla mix was given for 3 months whereas in the control group iron and folic acid supplementation were provided. The study results shows that pre and post-test intervention scores of control and experimental group were compared by Wilcoxon scores rank test. Comparison of pre-test and post-test scores of severity of anemia, clinical variables, and level of fatigue and level of satisfaction, bio chemical parameters (reticulocytes, MCV, haematocrite, serum iron, serum ferritin, TIBC) were assessed in both experimental and control group. Between the experimental and control group (unpaired‘t’ test) reticulocytes, mcv, heamatocrite, serum iron serum ferritin showed significant changes in the pre test and post-test but there is no changes in TIBC. The study concluded that alternative nutritional therapy was effective for enhancing the blood heamoglobin & biochemical paramteres level, decreased the clinical variables and fatigue level among the adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia.

Published: May 2020

Background. Despite the progress made in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC), there remain many unsolved problems in the treatment of patients infected with the 3rd virus genotype. This fact is mainly associated with the presence of hepatocyte steatosis due to the formation of local insulin resistance. Another important medical and social problem is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), patogenetically associated with insulin resistance. Application of metformin in females to reduce insulin resistance can improve the results of antiviral therapy.Material and methods. Overall 81 females with CHC and PCOS were included in original study. The 1st group (35 patients) received metformin in dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight per day as preliminary and concomitant treatment in addition to antiviral therapy. In 14 patients of this group steatosis was revealed. In another subgroup (21 patients) steatosis was not revealed. The 2nd group (46 patients) received antiviral therapy only. Patients of this group were divided into two subgroups by presence (17 patients) or absence (29 patients) of hepatic steatosis. Interferon-α2b in a standard dose of 3 million IU3 times per week in combination to ribavirin 13 mg/kg/day for 24 wks was applied as antiviral therapy. The period of the subsequent follow-up was 24 wks.Results. Patients with hepatic steatosis had higher biochemical and histological scores of activities. In the groups of patients receiving metformin a higher incidence of a sustained virological response was observed. Additional application of metformin did not aff ect the safety profile of antiviral therapy.Conclusions. Women with CHC with the 3rd genotype and PCOS, who took metformin, had a significantly higher frequency of sustained virological response with an equal safety profile.

Introduction: This study assessed the socio-demographic profile, outcomes of treatment and challenges encountered in the management of children admitted for Severe Acute Malnutrition at the Paediatric Unit of a State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The records of twenty-five children with SAM admitted from March 2013-March 2018 were reviewed. SAM was defined according to the Wellcome Classification based on child’s weight and oedema status. Data on demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, co-morbid conditions, duration of admission and outcome were extracted.
Results: There were 13 (52.0%) males and 12 (48.0%) females. The median age of children with SAM was eight months. Eighteen children (72%) were marasmic, four (16%) had kwashiorkor while three (12%) had marasmic-kwashiorkor. Common presenting symptoms included poor weight gain (59.1%), fever (54.5%) and diarrhoea (36.4%). Majority (84.0%) of the patients had co-morbid conditions which included sepsis (66.7%), anaemia (37.5%), hypoglycaemia (16.7%) and hypothermia (16.7%). Twenty-one (84.0%) children were fully vaccinated for age, two (8.0%) had partial vaccination while two (8.0%) were never vaccinated. Only two (8.0%) had exclusive breastfeeding, 19 (76.0%) had mixed feeding from birth. Majority (60%) of the children had one or more social challenges such as teenage parents and financial constraints. Mean duration of admission was 4.56 days. Twelve (48.0%) left against medical advice, nine (36.0%) were discharged, one (4.0%) was referred to another tertiary facility and three (12.0%) deaths were recorded.
Conclusions: Many of the children admitted for SAM in our study had social problems and almost half of them left the hospital against medical advice. Besides health problem, social factors may play more role in SAM.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Birth weight is an important indicator of perinatal and neonatal outcome. Low birth weight (LBW) babies suffer from many problems in neonatal period and have more morbidity and mortality as compared to normal weight babies. Platelets play an important role in neonatal immunity. Platelet indices of LBW babies are not well understood and may have contributed to morbidities in these babies. This study was conducted to study the platelet indices in LBW babies.
Methods: All inborn LBW babies born in our centre and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Study period was of one and half years (Oct 2015 – Apr 2017). Cord blood sample (2 ml) was collected and platelet indices namely Platelet Count (PC), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), were assessed. Blood sample was processed with a hospital laboratory based automated analyser. Neonatal morbidities were recorded. Platelet indices were analysed with respect to low birth weight.
Results: The platelet count in LBW babies was lower than the control group. Other indices i.e. PDW and MPV however did not show significant variation between both the groups.
Conclusions: LBW babies had lower platelet counts but other platelet indices were not significantly affected. The results need to be substantiated with further larger studies in the future.
