Background: The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to the family of malignant small round cell tumors with neuroepithelial differentiation. Isolated cases of PNET have been reported in visceral sites, such as the kidneys, uterus, ovaries, testicles, bladder, and pancreas. The occurrence of these tumors in the head and neck region is very rare. Purpose: We report the case of a 37-year-old patient with a PNET of the amygdala and a favorable outcome aft...

The pain experienced when ea%ng spicy foods such as peppers, wasabi, horseradish, or spicy
mustard come from par%cular natural compounds binding to specific receptors in our mouth on
nerve endings communica%ng with the sensory cortex. When concentrated, compounds
humulene and myrcene, both existent in different ra%os in varie%es of hops (humulus lupulus),
bind to the TRPM8 receptor. While bound to this receptor at the same %me as either capsaicin
is bound to the TRPV1 receptor or allyl isothiocy...

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are severe and life-changing conditions that result in the disruption of neural pathways and the loss of motor and sensory functions below the site of injury. Finding effective treatment strategies to promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery in SCI patients is a significant challenge for researchers studying neurotrauma. Recent studies have suggested that Semaphorin 3 (SEMA3) proteins, which are primarily involved in guiding nerve growth during development, ...

Orbital tumors are lesions that appear in the orbital craniofacial limits. To this end, teams of different ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon specialists provide the treatment of these tumors. We present here the experience of the neurosurgery department of the military hospital of Rabat in the management of these tumors. We retrospectively evaluated the records of 08 patients with orbital tumors, hospitalized in our neurosurgery department from January 2020 to December 2021. Results: In 06 patien...
