The endoscopic endonasal approach is the superior approach for (most) craniopharyngiomas, as long they're not purely intraventricular. @NASBS @UB_Neurosurgery #BuffaloSkullBase #TumorSection @EladLevyMD #Neurosurgery

FAKE NEWS ALERT ๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ @martinmckee, who wrote the article, admitted that the numbers are โ€˜purely illustrative.โ€™ @TheLancet, can we get your comment on this embarrassment? Screenshots of Martin McKee admitting heโ€™s merely a clown in the first comment. #Fakenews #Israel #Gaza #Gazawar @jasonhickel You're spreading fake news FYI

twitter.com/GoodbeerOssi/staโ€ฆ ALL EYES ON NORTHERN ISRAEL. Israel has been attacked by Hezbollah, an Islamist terrorist organization controlling Lebanon, since October 8th without any provocation, no excuses of an โ€œoccupation,โ€ just the usual Jihadist death cult. Why is no one talking about it? Why isnโ€™t Lebanon being held accountable by the international community? This is further proof that the October 7th attacks are a radical Islamic assault against the only Jewish state in the world. This attack is being sponsored and led by Iran and Qatar. If you think it will end in Israel, you might want to listen to the Jihadists; they are very open about the fact that the West is next. #Hezbollah #NorthernIsrael #Iran
