Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome in a Young Subject
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a non-specific inflammation of the cavernous sinus or superior orbital fissure which causes painful, usually unilateral ophthalmoparesis or ophthalmoplegia. A 22-year-old lady presented with diminution of vision, pain in her

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma
This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Early Functional Connectivity Predicts Recovery from Visual Field Defects after Stroke [PDF]
Background and Purpose We aimed to assess whether early resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) changes measured via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could predict recovery from visual field defect (VFD) in acute stroke patients. Methods

Local processing in neurites of VGluT3- expressing amacrine cells differentially organizes visual information [PDF]
Neurons receive synaptic inputs on extensive neurite arbors. How information is organized across arbors and how local processing in neurites contributes to circuit function is mostly unknown.
