In the past, brain stem was treated with surgery or placement of shunt in Pakistan. Gamma Knife surgery is currently an alternative to surgery for deep brain lesions. In the current study, we show the clinical experience of our Centre treated with Gamma Knife surgery. ⋯ Among the diverse gliomas, their peril varies not just by type but also by their intricate location within the brain. The efficacy of gamma knife radiation is excellent particularly when tackling high-grade tumors, exhibiting its prowess in both adult and pediatric cases.

The relationship of Vitamin-D (VD) with Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is recognized. This study was conducted to determine whether VD is a predictor of fertility and investigate its relationship with female reproductive hormones and markers of ovarian reserve in female population of Karachi. ⋯ VD deficiency was prevalent in all infertile female subjects. VD levels were strong predictor of fertility in the study population. The significant association of VD with FSH explained the indirect effect of VD on follicular development and ovarian functions however no relationship of VD with ovarian reserve was exhibited.

To develop a risk model based on LncRNAs associated with disulfidptosis to forecast the prognosis and assess immune infiltration of Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). ⋯ The risk model of Disulfidptosis-related LncRNAs can predict the prognosis of LUAD and evaluate the immune infiltration, providing a new direction for the treatment of LUAD.

Premature infants require special attention during nursing. This study aimed to explore the effects of baby touch on the growth, immunity, sleep and communication in premature infants. ⋯ Baby touch can promote growth and development, strengthen immunological function, improve sleep quality and enhance the emotional communication abilities of premature infants, and help them better adapt to the environment and grow.
