Speech Prosody Serves Temporal Prediction of Language via Contextual Entrainment

Time prediction plays an important role in language comprehension, making language processing faster and more efficient. Especially in complex auditory and language processing, predicting the information of the upcoming utterance can improve comprehension efficiency and reduce cognitive load. Existing research has shown that listeners can utilize t...

Radiomics-based Prediction of Local Control in Patients with Brain Metastases Following Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy

Application of Radiomics in Predicting Local Control in Postoperative Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastasis Patients Academic Background Brain Metastases (BMs) are the most common malignant brain tumors, far surpassing primary brain tumors like gliomas in incidence. Recent medical guidelines recommend surgical treatment for patients with s...

Leptomeningeal Metastases in IDH-Wildtype Glioblastomas Revisited: Comprehensive Analysis of Incidence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis Based on Post-Contrast FLAIR

Comprehensive Analysis of Leptomeningeal Metastasis in IDH Wild-Type Glioblastoma In this article published in the journal “Neuro-Oncology,” the research team starting in 2024 delves into the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of leptomeningeal metastases (LM) in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma. This study wa...

Gliomatosis cerebri in children: a poor prognostic phenotype of diffuse gliomas with a distinct molecular profile

Childhood Gliomatosis Cerebri: A Poor Prognosis Phenotype of Diffuse Glioma with Distinct Molecular Characteristics Introduction Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a highly invasive form of diffuse glioma. It was initially discarded as an independent pathological type due to its indeterminate molecular characteristics. However, with the advancements in mo...

Resistance, Rebound, and Recurrence Regrowth Patterns in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma Treated by MAPK Inhibition: A Modified Delphi Approach to Build International Consensus

International Consensus on Resistance, Rebound, and Recurrence in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma with MAPK Inhibition Therapy: Established Using a Modified Delphi Method Academic Background Pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) is the most common type of tumor in the central nervous system of children. Although these tumors have a relatively high overall s...

Raman-Based Machine Learning Platform Reveals Unique Metabolic Differences Between IDHmut and IDHwt Glioma

Study on Metabolic Differences between IDH Mutant and Wild-type Glioma Cells Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Platform Background Introduction In the diagnosis and treatment of gliomas, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections are commonly used. However, due to background noise interference from the embedding medium, th...
