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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Intramedullary Spinal Tumors of Disordered Embryogenesis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
Abnormal spinal embryogenesis is quite commonplace. While greater than 90 percent of these errors of embryogenesis leads to occult spinal dysraphism with minimal neurologic or orthopedic sequelae, there is a significant ...
Anterior cervical osteophytes as a cause of progressive dysphagia
(Springer-Verlag, 1989-03)
An uncommon cause of progressive dysphagia may be large cervical osteophytes impinging upon the cervical esophagus. Dysphagia may be due to the mechanical mass effect of a large anterior osteophyte, trapping the esophagus ...
Eosinophilic granuloma of the cervical spine : A case report and review of the literature
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
This is a report of a case of eosinophilic granuloma involving the second cervical vertebra in a 33-year-old woman. There have been 32 case reports in the literature describing eosinophilic granuloma presenting as cervical ...
Effect of dietary vitamin A or N-acetylcysteine on ethylnitrosourea-induced rat gliomas
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-10)
It is our hypothesis that low grade gliomas are the glial counterparts of other precancerous lesions such as colon polyps and, therefore, suitable targets for chemoprevention. Steps in the molecular progression of gliomas ...
Cerebrospinal fluid abdominal cyst. Computed tomographic resolution of a sonographic dilemma
(Elsevier, 1984-04)
A case of subhepatic cerebrospinal fluid cyst, an uncommon complication of ventriculoperitoneal shunting, is presented. Sonography could not reliably prove shunt tubing to be entering the cystic spaces. Results of computed ...
