Is location more determining than WHO grade for long-term clinical outcome in patients with meningioma in the first two decades of life?
To identify factors for tumor relapse and poor outcome in patients with meningiomas in the first two decades of life. ⋯ Patients with convexity meningiomas in the first two decades of life have a good outcome due to high chance of gross total resection. Patients with skull base meningioma are at high risk of relapse and poor outcome, particularly those with WHO grades 2 and 3. Subtotal resection in patients with skull base location is probably the main reason for this difference.

Associations of malnutrition factors with dysphagia mediated by ADL among nursing home residents.
The potential link between malnutrition and dysphagia along with its underlying mechanisms remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between malnutrition factors and dysphagia mediated by a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) among nursing home residents. ⋯ Malnutrition factors were associated with dysphagia, mediated by a decline in ADL among nursing home residents. The results of this study suggest the importance of nutritional management along with approaches to ADL to prevent dysphagia.
