Updates on Interventional Radiology in Sudan: Training, Practice, and Students' Awareness and Interest, a University of Khartoum Perspective.

Background:  Interventional radiology (IR) is a growing field with wide applications. However, awareness of IR is limited, especially among medical students and particularly in developing countries where its practice is deficient.

Purpose:  To assess and compare knowledge, awareness, and interest in IR among medical students at the University of Khartoum, Sudan, a developing country where the practice of IR faces many challenges, including the 2023 war.

Post-operative Stereotactic Radiosurgery to Brain Metastases Cavity: A Large, Observational Single-Centre Series From the United Kingdom.

Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely regarded as the standard of care after the resection of brain metastases in order to reduce local cavity recurrence risk. The objective of this study was to explore the reproducibility of published outcomes for patients receiving post-operative stereotactic radiosurgery (cavity SRS) in a National Health Service (NHS) setting for a non-selective series of patients. For our service, the median interval between surgery to cavity SRS (cSRS) is eight weeks, whereas similar timelines have been found to have a deleterious impact on survival in the published literature.

Recurrent Malignant Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast: A Case Report.

Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms with aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates. They pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their overlap with other malignancies, necessitating accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment approach to improve patient outcomes. A 29-year-old Asian female initially underwent a lumpectomy for a right breast mass diagnosed as a phyllodes tumor on histopathology.

Fusobacterium nucleatum as an Emerging Culprit in Brain Abscesses: A Narrative Synthesis of 25 Years of Clinical and Diagnostic Data.

Brain abscesses are life-threatening infections, predominantly caused by anaerobic organisms. The role of oropharyngeal microbiota, presence in dental plaque biofilms, and hematogenous spread is established in the literature. However, due to its rare occurrence, limited literature is available on its management.

The Surgical Management of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: A Retrospective Analysis of Outcomes and Complications.

This study aimed to investigate the surgical management of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by analyzing clinical outcomes and complications in 600 patients (100%) who underwent surgery. The mean age of the cohort was 36.7 years (SD = 12.
