Changes in somatosensory evoked potentials following an experimental focal ischaemic lesion in thalamus
(Elsevier, 1988)
Experiments have been performed to produce localized thalamic ischaemia in baboons anaesthetised with alpha-chloralose. Somatosensory evoked potentials to median nerve stimulation were recorded in the medial lemniscus. VPL ...
Structural and mechanical evaluations of a topology optimized titanium interbody fusion cage fabricated by selective laser melting process
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-11)
A topology optimized lumbar interbody fusion cage was made of Ti-Al6-V4 alloy by the rapid prototyping process of selective laser melting (SLM) to reproduce designed microstructure features. Radiographic characterizations ...
The use of ultrasound during spinal cord surgery
(Springer-Verlag; Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 1987-10)
Intraoperative spinal ultrasonography is now considered an indispensable tool in many operations on the spine and spinal cord. Using ultrasonography, surgeons can now easily find and evaluate lesions within the spinal cord, ...
Peptide transporter 2 (PEPT2) expression in brain protects against 5-aminolevulinic acid neurotoxicity
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-12)
The transsylvian approach to middle cerebral artery bifurcation/trifurcation aneurysms
(Elsevier, 1994-03)
A transsylvian approach to treat aneurysms located at the bifurcation/trifurcation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is described. This surgical route traces a distal MCA branch retrogradely into the Sylvian fissure ...
Glutamine Uptake at the Blood-Brain Barrier Is Mediated by N-System Transport
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1998-12)
The mechanism of unidirectional transport of glutamine from blood to brain in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was examined using in situ perfusion. Amino acid uptake into brain across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is ...
Current Status and Future Opportunities for Controlling Acromegaly
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-09)
Growth-hormone (GH) secreting adenomas, including acromegaly, account for approximately one-sixth of all pituitary adenomas and are associated with mortality rates at least twice that of the general population. The ultimate ...
Management of anteriorly located C1-C2 neurofibromata
(Elsevier, 1990-01)
The authors discuss their recent experience with anteriorly located Cl-C2 neurofibromata in five patients with cervical myelopathy and magnetic resonance scans consistent with intradural extramedullary masses in this region. ...
Sources of Human Schwann Cells and the Influence of Donor Age
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
We evaluated several tissues as possible sources for culturing human Schwann cells. The average cell yield (total cell number/mg of nerve fascicle) obtained from adult autopsy cases and transplant organ donors was similar ...
Surgical reversal of prolonged blindness from a metastatic neuroblastoma
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-07)
Reports of tumor-related anterior visual pathway blindness that have resolved after surgical decompression are rare. The longest reported duration of tumor-related blindness completely reversed by optic nerve decompression ...
