    Abstract Background: Superior orbital rim fractures are challenging fractures as they often concomitantly occur with additional calvaria fractures. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has been underutilized in this area of craniomaxillofacial trauma for reconstruction.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to qualitatively describe the use of VSP and anatomically perfected stereolithic models in treatment of superior orbital rim fractures in combined neurosurgery/oral and maxillofacial surgery cases.
    Study design, setting, sample: This study is a retrospective case series of subjects who were treated at the Massachusetts General Hospital (July 2022 to November 2022). Inclusion criteria include subjects who had both calvaria and maxillofacial injuries requiring concurrent operative intervention on their superior orbital rim fractures and the use of VSP.
    Predictor/exposure/independent variable: Not applicable.
    Main outcome variable: The outcome variable of interest is the difference in the planned position of the orbital rim repair compared to the actual position achieved.
    Covariates: None.
    Analyses: Heat map analysis was used to compare the difference in the planned position versus the actual position achieved.
    Results: There were six orbits (five subjects, mean age 33.8 ± 21.49 years) that met the criteria. The mean difference in planned versus actual orbital volume achieved was 2.52 ± 2.48 cm
    Conclusion and relevance: This study has demonstrated the use of VSP in combined neurosurgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures in the fixation of superior orbital rim fractures. This case series highlights that the postoperative position achieved in the six orbits was within 84% of the planned position.

    Abstract Background: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence-guided surgery is a well-established technique for resecting high-grade gliomas. However, its application in meningiomas, especially those previously treated with radiation therapy, remains under investigation.
    Observations: A 48-year-old female with recurrent anaplastic meningioma, World Health Organization grade 3, underwent a right-sided craniotomy using off-label 5-ALA as a surgical adjunct. The patient had previously undergone brachytherapy seed implantation (20 × cesium 131) for tumor management. During the surgery, a large fluorescent tumor mass adjacent to the brachytherapy-treated area was resected, and the prior brachytherapy seeds were removed. Interestingly, the surrounding brain tissue in the irradiated area showed robust 5-ALA fluorescence. Pathological examination confirmed that the fluorescent brain tissue was nonneoplastic and associated with lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration.
    Lessons: This case report presents unique 5-ALA fluorescence in nonneoplastic tissue following brachytherapy, which was found during the resection of recurrent anaplastic meningioma. This phenomenon may reflect an intricate interplay among radiation therapy, immune cells, the tumor microenvironment, and 5-ALA metabolism. Given that false-positive findings in fluorescence-guided surgery can lead to unnecessary tissue resection and increased surgical morbidity, further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and its implications for meningioma surgery.

    Abstract Purpose: Suicide is a leading cause of death in children and adolescents. Prevention efforts may benefit from examining temporal patterns and precipitating circumstances of youth suicide deaths. The purpose of this study was to investigate if there are distinct temporal patterns of suicide death for youth.
    Methods: We examined the distributions of suicide deaths across months of the year and days of the week in youth ages 10-18 using data from the National Violent Death Reporting System.
    Results: We found that youth suicides peaked during March, April, and October on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. When disaggregated by separate years of age, we discovered unique patterns in 18-year-olds and 10-year-olds. Suicides peaked during July for 18-year-olds and on Saturday for 10-year-olds.
    Discussion: These findings suggest a need to examine temporal patterns by separate years of age, as grouping ages together may mask unique trends.

    Abstract Drug repurposing is promising because approving a drug for a new indication requires fewer resources than approving a new drug. Signature reversion detects drug perturbations most inversely related to the disease-associated gene signature to identify drugs that may reverse that signature. We assessed the performance and biological relevance of three approaches for constructing disease-associated gene signatures (i.e., limma, DESeq2, and MultiPLIER) and prioritized the resulting drug repurposing candidates for four low-survival human cancers. Our results were enriched for candidates that had been used in clinical trials or performed well in the PRISM drug screen. Additionally, we found that pamidronate and nimodipine, drugs predicted to be efficacious against the brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM), inhibited the growth of a GBM cell line and cells isolated from a patient-derived xenograft (PDX). Our results demonstrate that by applying multiple disease-associated gene signature methods, we prioritized several drug repurposing candidates for low-survival cancers.

    Abstract For malignant gliomas, the survival benefit of new combination therapies after surgical resection is measured in weeks to months. In contrast, optimizing treatment for low-grade gliomas can potentially provide additional years of life. The relatively indolent but not benign clinical course provides the opportunity for clinicians and scientists to focus not only on the duration of survival, but also to maximize quality of life. Ideal management of low-grade gliomas among the most important yet paradoxically most neglected subjects in neuro-oncology. This article examines the molecular underpinnings of these tumors and evaluates the role of extensive surgery in maximizing outcomes.

    Abstract We evaluated written instructions plus video modeling-and when necessary, in vivo prompting and feedback-to teach 3 parents to implement a structured meal procedure to decrease food selectivity among their children with autism. In addition to data on correct parent implementation, we also collected data on child bite acceptance. Results showed that instructions and video modeling were effective to achieve the mastery criteria for 1 parent; the other 2 parents required in vivo prompts and feedback. Two of the children exhibited an increase in bite acceptance during the structured meal procedure.
