Case study 127 - Choroid Plexus Papilloma Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a rare type of brain tumor. It's generally slow growing and not cancer (benign). Benign also means that the growth doesn't spread to other parts of the body. CPP is most common in young children, but it can also appear in adults. A CPP tumor grows in the choroid plexus. This is a layer of tissue within the brain that makes the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In adults, CPP tends to form in the fourth ventricle. In children, it forms on the lateral ventricle. The fourth ventricle is in between the cerebellum and the brainstem. CPP may cause your brain to make too much CSF. It might also block the normal drainage of CSF. This excess CSF in the brain (hydrocephalus) can create pressure in the brain that can be dangerous. Even if a CPP isn't cancerous, it can still cause problems. It may press against brain tissue and cause symptoms, such as headache, vision problems, or nausea and vomiting. The standard treatment for CPP is surgery to remove the tumor.

Exploring the Ability of ChatGPT to Act as a Research Aid in Otolaryngology - Objective: Evaluate ChatGPT's ability to generate unique research ideas in otolaryngology. - Method: Generated ideas across seven subspecialties: general otolaryngology, facial plastics, rhinology, pediatrics, head and neck oncology, laryngology, otology/neurotology. - Findings: Out of 100 systematic review ideas, ChatGPT failed to create unique ideas but generated feasible and clinically relevant ones. - Recommendation: Future studies should explore non-systematic review methodologies and more specific topics in otolaryngology.

🎉No plans for the weekend yet??🎉 Check out our latest comprehensive review, essential read for all surgeons!👇👇👇 Major surgical conditions of childhood and their lifelong implications: comprehensive review ➡️https://lnkd.in/gJAZMsMf In recent decades, survival of children with congenital anomalies and paediatric cancer has improved dramatically such that there has been a steady shift towards understanding their lifelong health outcomes. Paediatric surgeons will actively manage such conditions in childhood and adolescence, however, adult surgeons must later care for these "grown-ups" in adulthood. This article aims to highlight some of those rare disorders encountered by paediatric surgeons requiring long-term follow-up, their management in childhood, and their survivorship impact, in order that the adult specialist may be better equipped with skills and knowledge to manage these patients into adulthood.

Apogee C5 demonstrates versatility across various specialties, catering to the examination needs of patients ranging from newborns to the elderly. Advanced radiology applications such as CHI QA and strain elastography enhance accuracy in tumor evaluation, while craniocerebral ultrasound tomography efficiently presents the developmental status of an infant's brain. 🧠   #SIUI #Ultrasound #MedicalImaging #Radiology #Pediatrics 

Case study 124 - Pediatric brain tumor Today I present the case of a 10-year-old boy who presents to the pediatrician with neurological complaints and this MRI. What do you think his complaints are based on this part of the brain? Stay tuned for the month of May while I discuss different types of brain tumors for brain tumor awareness month.

🏥 This Week in Med School 📚 That's a wrap on our 4-week Emergency Medicine clerkship! ✅ NBME Shelf Exam ✅ OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exam), which was surprisingly fun to practice various common scenarios with standardized patients and mannequins I found the Osmosis.org from Elsevier Decision Making Tree (DMT) videos like this one invaluable for the prep. Hard to believe six rotations are now complete (Psychiatry, Neurology, Surgery, Medicine, Pediatrics, and Emergency Medicine). Now on to dedicated study time for the USMLE.

🌟 Excited to Share My Recent Publication! 🌟 I am thrilled to announce that my research paper, “Neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants undergoing surgery for congenital heart defects – A prospective multi-centre cohort study” has been published in BMJ Paediatrics Open. This multicentre study highlights the challenges faced by infants undergoing heart surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) in resource-limited settings. It emphasizes the importance of neurodevelopmental care and the need for targeted interventions to support CHD survivors. A big thank you to my co-authors, mentors, and collaborators for their support throughout this project! 📖 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dGMay3cu #Research #Pediatrics #Neurodevelopment #CongenitalHeartDisease #GlobalHealth --- Let me know if you'd like to refine it further!
