Fungal skull base lesion masquerading as malignancy: a diagnostic dilemma. Illustrative case report.

Introduction: The clivus is an uncommon site for fungal infections and is typically associated with tumors or metastases. Invasive fungal sinusitis extending to the skull base is exceptionally rare and often mimics clival malignancies such as chordomas or metastases. This overlap in clinical and radiological features can lead to diagnostic delays.

Identification of factors contributing to the development of postoperative delirium in geriatric patients with hip fractures- A prospective study.

Introduction: Geriatric hip fractures are a major cause of concern globally and often a frequent reason for morbidity and mortality. Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent but often under-diagnosed complication, especially after a major hip surgery. Some of the factors that have been associated with POD are diabetes, high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, electrolyte imbalance, and blood pressure fluctuations.

Comparison of 3-month visual outcomes of a new multifocal intraocular lens vs a trifocal intraocular lens.

Purpose: To compare the clinical performance of the TECNIS Synergy multifocal (model ZFR00V) intraocular lens (IOL) with that of the AcrySof PanOptix Trifocal (model TFNT00) IOL in patients undergoing bilateral cataract surgery.

Setting: Multicenter clinical setting.

Design: Prospective randomized comparative study.

A Comparative Study of Squash Smear Cytology Diagnosis and Radiological Diagnosis with Histopathology in Central Nervous System Lesions.

Background: Space occupying lesions (SOLs) of central nervous system (CNS) constitutes important cause of neurological morbidity and mortality. Squash cytology is technically a simple and rapid intraoperative diagnostic tool. Radiology is supportive of histopathological diagnosis.
