Article Abstract
Background: Transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES) comprises a group of approaches with indications expanding from orbital tumors to more complex skull base lesions. We analyzed the role of the endoscopic transorbital approach (eTOA) for spheno-orbital tumors, reporting the results of our clinical series and of a systematic review of the literature.
Materials And Methods: All patients operated on from 2016 to 2022 at our institution for a spheno-orbital tumor through an eTOA were included in a clinical series, and a systematic review of the literature was performed.
Results: Our series consisted of 22 patients (16 females, mean age 57 ± 13 years). Gross tumor removal was achieved in 8 patients (36.4%) after the eTOA and in 11 (50.0%) after a multistaged strategy combining the eTOA with the endoscopic endonasal approach. Complications included 1 chronic subdural hematoma and 1 permanent extrinsic ocular muscle deficit. Patients were discharged after 2.4 ± 1.3 days. The most common histotype was meningioma (86.4%). Proptosis improved in all cases, visual deficit in 66.6%, and diplopia in 76.9%. These results were confirmed by the review of the 127 cases reported in the literature.
Conclusions: Despite its recent introduction, a significant number of spheno-orbital lesions treated with an eTOA are being reported. Its main advantages are favorable patient outcome and optimal cosmetic results, with minimal morbidity and quick recovery. This approach can be combined with other surgical routes or adjuvant therapies for complex tumors. However, it is a technically demanding procedure, requiring specific skills in endoscopic surgery, that should be reserved to dedicated centers.

Objectives: To systematically review evidence on the safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Study Design: We searched for articles in multiple databases from database inception through December 12, 2022, that assessed safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with CKD; all study designs were included. We extracted data from included articles; for studies that were not case series or case reports, we assessed risk of bias and determined certainty of evidence for each outcome.

Background: Cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs), elicited via single-pulse electrical stimulation, are used to map brain networks. These responses comprise early (N1) and late (N2) components, which reflect direct and indirect cortical connectivity. Reliable identification of these components remains difficult due to substantial variability in amplitude, phase, and timing.

MXenes represent exceptionally promising electrocatalytic materials for ammonia synthesis, owing to their outstanding electrical conductivity, modifiable surface functional groups, exceptional hydrophilicity, high specific surface area, and electronegative surface characteristics. In this investigation, we systematically demonstrate that the persistent challenge of Cu and Co nanoparticle agglomeration can be effectively addressed through the in-situ growth of bimetallic CuCo nanoparticles on TiCTMXene nanosheets. This innovative approach significantly enlarges the electrochemically active surface area, maximizes the exposure of catalytically active sites, and optimizes mass transport properties, consequently leading to substantially enhanced electrocatalytic performance for ammonia synthesis.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to present five new cases of congenital absence of posterior elements of the axis (C2), totaling 17 cases report in the literature, and to propose an anatomical classification system for this rare condition for standardizing its management.
Methods: A retrospective review of five patients diagnosed and surgically treated for the absence of C2 posterior elements was conducted from 2017 to 2024. Clinical characteristics were summarized, and imaging studies, including X-rays, CT, and MRI were performed to define abnormalities and cord compression.
