Insights into the clinical presentation and management of sellar chondrosarcomas

Chondrosarcomas are a malignant form of bone cancer that is composed of cartilage-forming tumor cells. Sellar chondrosarcomas, which occur in the sellar region at the base of the skull, are a very rare manifestation of chondrosarcoma, making up only around 0.2% of all tumors found in the skull.

Research examines how cancer may invalidate forensic age-estimation tools

Patients with solid tumors, including breast and lung cancers, showed only slightly less accurate results. In contrast, individuals with blood cancers, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), sometimes had large errors, with ages overestimated by as much as 50 years.

Gut bacteria and insomnia influence each other in small but significant ways, study shows

Scientists used Mendelian randomisation to explore the two-way relationship between gut microbiota and insomnia, analyzing GWAS data from over 386,000 individuals and two major microbiome cohorts. The study found only limited taxa surviving strict correction, suggesting small but causal links that highlight the gut–brain axis in sleep health.
