    Abstract Objective: For over 60 years there has been conjecture about the identity of an Ehrlich's test positive pyrrole (Mauve Factor) reputed to be a biomarker for psychological disorders, including anxiety. We reviewed studies that attempt to identify Mauve Factor and subjected authentic standards of the 2 main candidates, kryptopyrrole and hydroxypyrrole, to the Ehrlich's reaction.
    Methods: Modified Ehrlich's test for kryptopyrrole and hydroxypyrrole were applied to urine samples from 10 volunteers, anxious and nonanxious.
    Results: Based on the mechanistic chemistry of Ehrlich's reaction and reactions of the 2 compounds, Mauve Factor cannot be hydroxypyrrole. Analyses of urine samples from volunteers, identified by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 item scale (GAD-7 ≥10; n = 5) and control urine samples (GAD-7 <10; n = 5) using a kryptopyrrole calibration graph, show that concentrations are similar in both groups.
    Conclusion: Kryptopyrrole may be the elusive Mauve Factor. Its possible origin from stercobilin via gut microbiome-mediated metabolism, its link to gut-mediated neurological effects via γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, and its predicted interaction with Zn2+ and consequent impact on zinc homeostasis are discussed. The GAD-7 scale does not differentiate between state and trait anxiety and as such, the minimal difference in pyrrole levels between volunteer groups requires further study.

    Abstract Background: Bilateral cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lipomas are extremely rare. Herein the authors present a case of bilateral CPA lipomas in an infant along with a literature review of bilateral CPA lipomas.
    Observations: A newborn girl was incidentally found to have bilateral CPA lipomas during the workup for an occipital encephalocele. The encephalocele was repaired primarily on day 2 after birth. The patient demonstrated no symptoms associated with the bilateral CPA lipomas. Eight cases of bilateral CPA lipomas were identified in the literature review and are summarized. Conservative management is the consensus strategy, given minimum growth of the tumor and the high risk of surgical intervention.
    Lessons: This is the first reported case of bilateral CPA lipomas in an infant as well as the first with a coexisting intracranial malformation. Intracranial lipomas share an extremely low growth rate and typically do not cause severe symptoms. The management of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic bilateral CPA lipomas is usually conservative.

    Abstract Stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) was pioneered in France, at a time when cerebral anatomy was invisible to contemporaneous imaging modalities. Epilepsy surgeons relied on indirect targeting techniques to identify epileptogenic tissue. Since then, alongside the rapid rise of medical imaging technology, sEEG has experienced dramatic stepwise progress. A flurry of advancements has pushed this technique to its current-day standards, enabling neurosurgeons to access any intracranial location in a safe, highly precise, and expeditious manner. Presently, epilepsy surgeons throughout the world apply robot-assisted sEEG. Herein, the authors chronicle this incredible evolution.

    Abstract Meningiomas are the most common intracranial extra-axial primary tumor. Although most are low grade and slow growing, resection can be technically challenging, particularly when located at the skull base. Appropriate craniotomy and approach selection are of paramount importance to minimize brain retraction, optimize exposure, and achieve complete resection. This article summarizes various craniotomies and their approaches to meningiomas, and illustrates some nuances in performing these techniques with cadaveric dissection and operative videos.

    Abstract Surgery is an important treatment modality for the majority of solid organ cancers. Unfortunately, cancer recurrence following surgery of curative intent is common, and typically results in refractory disease and patient death. Surgery and other perioperative interventions induce a biological state conducive to the survival and growth of residual cancer cells released from the primary tumour intraoperatively, which may influence the risk of a subsequent metastatic disease. Evidence is accumulating that anaesthetic and analgesic interventions could affect many of these pathophysiological processes, influencing risk of cancer recurrence in either a beneficial or detrimental way. Much of this evidence is from experimental in vitro and in vivo models, with clinical evidence largely limited to retrospective observational studies or post hoc analysis of RCTs originally designed to evaluate non-cancer outcomes. This narrative review summarises the current state of evidence regarding the potential effect of perioperative anaesthetic and analgesic interventions on cancer biology and clinical outcomes. Proving a causal link will require data from prospective RCTs with oncological outcomes as primary endpoints, a number of which will report in the coming years. Until then, there is insufficient evidence to recommend any particular anaesthetic or analgesic technique for patients undergoing tumour resection surgery on the basis that it might alter the risk of recurrence or metastasis.

    Abstract In situ stabilization is a widely accepted treatment for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) despite risks of avascular necrosis (AVN) and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The modified Dunn procedure with surgical hip dislocation attempts to maintain epiphyseal perfusion and allows anatomic epiphyseal repositioning, theoretically reducing AVN and FAI risks. We systematically evaluated the literature, elucidating overall and stability-stratified rates of AVN following the modified Dunn procedure, and revision rates in non-AVN patients. Using Ovid and MEDLINE (PubMed), studies involving the modified Dunn procedure were evaluated for age, stability, preoperative slip (Southwick) angle, ROM at follow-up, outcome metrics, and revisions. Utilizing a random effect model of proportions, we determined overall and stability-stratified AVN rates, and revision rates in patients without AVN.673 patients (688 SCFEs) who underwent modified Dunn procedure were included. Overall AVN rate was 14.3% with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of 9.3 to 20.2%. AVN rate in stable slips was 10.9% (95% CI: 6.0 to 17.1%) and 19.9% (95% CI: 12.8% to 28.1%) in unstable slips. Revision rate in non-AVN patients was 13.3% (95% CI: 8.3% to 19.2%). Fixation failures occurred following K-wire or small-caliber (<6.5 mm) screw fixation. Overall mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) was excellent (>90 points). Mean HHS was 98.9 points (range of means: 86 to 99 points) in stable cases, and 90.5 points (range of means: 73 to 98 points) in unstable cases. Patients undergoing modified Dunn procedure had excellent clinical outcomes and low incidences of AVN. Further studies are needed to determine if modified Dunn osteotomy with surgical hip dislocation is a viable alternative to in situ pinning for treatment of severe SCFE.

    Abstract Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors in adults, representing approximately one-third of all primary adult CNS tumors. Although several recent publications have proposed alternative grading systems of meningiomas that incorporate genomic and/or epigenomic data to better predict meningioma recurrence and progression-free survival, our understanding of driving forces of meningioma development is still limited.
    Objective: To define gene expression signatures of the most common subtypes of meningiomas to better understand cellular processes and signaling pathways specific for each tumor genotype.
    Methods: We used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to determine whole transcriptome profiles of twenty meningiomas with genomic alterations including
    Results: The analysis revealed that meningiomas with
    Conclusions: Each group of meningiomas displayed a unique gene expression signature suggesting signaling pathways potentially implicated in tumorigenesis. These findings will improve our understanding of meningioma tumorigenesis and prognosis.
