Expression of p57KIP2 Potently Blocks the Growth of Human Astrocytomas and Induces Cell Senescence

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the proliferative block imposed by p57 on human astrocytoma cells results in changes in the expression of a number of cell cycle regulatory factors, cell morphology, and a strong stimulus to cell senescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cost-effectiveness of pediatric epilepsy surgery compared to medical treatment in children with intractable epilepsy.

TL;DR: Surgical treatment resulted in greater reduction in seizure frequency compared to medical therapy and was a cost-effective treatment option in children with intractable epilepsy who were evaluated for epilepsy surgery and subsequently underwent surgery compared to continuing medical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical decompression for symptomatic Chiari II malformation in neonates with myelomeningocele.
