TL;DR: In patients with large dural defects of the anterior and ventral skull base after endonasal skull base surgery, there is a significant risk of a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak after reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotactic radiosurgery plus whole brain radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for patients with multiple brain metastases.
TL;DR: Combined WBRT and radiosurgery for patients with two to four brain metastases significantly improves control of brain disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expanded endonasal approach: the rostrocaudal axis. Part I. Crista galli to the sella turcica
TL;DR: Endoscopic, expanded endonasal approaches to rostral anterior skull base lesions are feasible and hold great potential for decreased morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that hypoxia (1% oxygen) promotes the self-renewal capacity of CD133-positive human glioma-derived cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the activation of HIF-1α to enhance theSelf-Renewal activity of CD 133-positive cells and to inhibit the induction of CSC differentiation.
