ARS-853 clinical trial of the study was to show the morphologic features of optic strut (OS) and prechiasmatic sulcus (PS) in the fetal skull base with a surgical anatomical perspective. METHODS Twenty-three fetal cadavers (9 female, 14 male) with an average age of 21.70 ± 3.12 (range 16-28) weeks of gestation in the inventory of the Anatomy Department were included in the study. Measurements were made with a digital image analysis software and goniometer. RESULTS The sulcal length, interoptic distance, planum length, and sulcal angle were detected as follows 3.91 ± 0.74 mm, 6.88 ± 1.04 mm, 6.55 ± 1.51 mm, and 24.52 ± 9.51°, respectively. Considering the location of the posteromedial margin of OS according to PS, OS was identified as the sulcal in 56.5% (13 cases), postsulcal in 30.4% (7 cases), and asymmetric in 13% (3 cases). According to the sulcal length and angle, PS was identified as type 1 in 26.1% (6 cases), type 2 in 21.7% (5 cases), type 3 in 30.4% (7 cases), and type 4 in 21.7% (5 cases). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the sulcal length and angle reach adult size in utero. Taking into account the fetal and the gathered adult measurements, the high percentage of steep angle compared to flat angle show that after birth, PS become more flat, probably depending on the variations of the sphenoid sinus pneumatization. Thus, more studies conducted on the alterations in PS and OS types relative to the pneumatization are needed in terms of patient positioning, selection of appropriate surgical approach, and intraoperative decision-making. BACKGROUND Central neurocytomas (CNCs) are rare intraventricular lesions comprising 0.05 suggested significance). RESULTS On aggregation, 615 patients from 13 studies including ours were assessed. Although overall survival was not significantly different (χ2 = 1.56; P = 0.46), the recurrence rate differed significantly between GTR + RT (6.9%, 92.11 months), GTR-RT (23.9%, 96.8 months), and MSR + RT (16.8%, 85 months) (χ2 = 10.94; P = 0.004). Pooled complication rates for GTR and MSR + RT were 31.2% and 24% (P = 0.049), respectively. CONCLUSIONS RT remains an important adjuvant treatment that can improve patient survival in the presence of MSR to levels comparable to those of GTR or GTR + RT. Where total resection carries too much risk, MSR + RT can be considered as the next best alternative for tumor control. Colloid cysts are benign and rare tumors of the brain. The growth rates of these tumors are unpredictable. There have been many factors attributed for sudden symptomatic presentation in colloid cyst. These cysts can increase in size and obstruct the Cerebrospinal fluid pathways producing obstructive hydrocephalus. Consequently, this can manifest as acute severe headaches followed by deterioration in consciousness or even sudden death in patients. Sudden symptomatic presentation of patients with colloid cysts during air travel have been reported sparsely in the literature. #link# In this report, we describe such a patient with colloid cyst who had acute severe headache and deterioration in consciousness during air travel. The physiologic effects of the cabin pressure and high altitude on the intracranial pressure is discussed along with review of literature. In absence of periodic systematic comparisons, biologists/bioinformaticians may be forced to make a subjective selection among the many protein-protein interaction (PPI) databases and tools. We conducted a comprehensive compilation and comparison of such resources. We compiled 375 PPI resources, short-listed 125 important ones (both lists are available at startbioinfo.com), and compared the features and coverage of 16 carefully-selected databases related to human PPIs. We quantitatively compared the coverage of 'experimentally verified' as well as 'total' (experimentally verified and predicted) PPIs for these 16 databases. Coverage was compared in two ways (a) PPIs obtained in response to gene queries using the web interfaces were compared. As a query set, 108 genes expressed differently across tissues (specific to kidney, testis, and uterus, and ubiquitous - i.e., expressed in 43 human normal tissues) or associated with certain diseases (breast cancer, lung cancer, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and for more frequent studies of this nature. The treatment of comorbid patients is a hot problem in Medical Informatics, since the plain application of multiple Computer-Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs) can lead to interactions that are potentially dangerous for the patients. The specialized literature has mostly focused on the "a priori" or "execution-time" analysis of the interactions between multiple Computer-Interpretable Guidelines (CIGs), and/or CIG "merge". In this paper, we face a complementary problem, namely, the a posteriori analysis of the treatment of comorbid patients. Given the CIGs, the history of the status of the patient, and the log of the clinical actions executed on her, we try to explain the actions executed on the patient (i.e., the log) in terms of the actions recommended by the CIGs, of their potential interactions, and of the possible ways of managing each such interaction, pointing out (i) deviations from CIG recommendations not explained in terms of interaction management (if any) and (ii) unmanaged interactions (if any). Our approach is based on Answer Set Programming, and, to face realistic problems, devotes specific attention to the temporal dimension. The presence of missing data at the time of prediction limits the application of risk models in clinical and research settings. Common ways of handling missing data at the time of prediction include measuring the missing value and employing statistical methods. Measuring missing value incurs additional cost, whereas previously reported statistical methods results in reduced performance compared to when all variables are measured. To tackle these challenges, we introduce a new strategy, the MMTOP algorithm (Multiple models for Missing values at Time Of Prediction), which does not require measuring additional data elements or data imputation. Specifically, at model construction time, the MMTOP constructs multiple predictively equivalent risk models utilizing different risk factor sets. The collection of models are stored and to be queried at prediction time. To predict an individual's risk in the presence of incomplete data, the MMTOP selects the risk model based on measurement availability for that individual from the collection of predictively equivalent models and makes the risk prediction with the selected model.
