TL;DR: HERG1 was found to be specifically overexpressed in high-grade astrocytomas, that is, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and evidence that, in GBM cell lines, hERG1 channel activity actively contributes to malignancy by promoting vascular endothelial growth factor secretion, thus stimulating the neoangiogenesis typical of high-grades gliomas.

TL;DR: The DTF, that were produced in a strictly evidence-based way, have been considered by the IHM a subsequent step, more concrete and operative (almost clinical-care profiles) with respect to the classic Guidelines.

TL;DR: The presenting author stresses the importance of adopting MRI-compatible instrumentation for the surgical stabilisation of the spine, and careful monitoring of blood pressure during the acute phase of spinal cord injury.

TL;DR: ACSV decreases in all patients in whom the VPS system works properly, with the rate of ACSV decrease being higher in the patients who show clinical improvement, and postoperative ACSV increase suggests shunt malfunction.

TL;DR: The extra-arachnoidal cranio-cervical decompression (CCD) without duroplasty is a safe and effective treatment for syringomyelia associated with Chiari I malformation in adults without intraoperative evidence of adhesive arachnoiditis, however a larger number of patients and longer follow-up will be necessary to determine the efficacy.
