We included 16 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who were implanted with VNS at Ghent University Hospital between November 2018 and December 2020. All patients had undergone a presurgical evaluation and were considered unsuitable candidates for epilepsy surgery or refused resective surgery. Patients w...
HOXA11-AS functions as a protein scaf- fold for polycomb repressive complex-2, lysine-specific histone demethylase-1, and DNA methyltransferase-1, forming an RNA–protein complex that epigenetically modifies chro- mosomes in the nucleus. HOXA11-AS also sponges miRNAs as a competing endogenous RNA...
Abstract: Surgical extirpation of liver tumors remains a proven approach in the management of metastatic tumors to the liver, particularly those of colorectal origin. Ablative, non-resective therapies are an increasingly attractive primary therapy for liver tumors as they are generally better tolerated ...
Presently, there are better-tolerated drugs to lower IOP and more effective surgical procedures [3,33]. Nevertheless, no treatment avoids irreversible visual impairment, highlighting the impor- tance of early detection. Coca-Prados and Escribano have previously suggested that signal transduction, which...
For this procedure, animals were sedated with ketamine, anesthetized with isoflurane, and pumps were placed in the subcutaneous tissues of the upper back using the aseptic surgical technique. Animals not treated with hexyl were given a sham implant or injection containing normal saline. Due to ...

Degradation under various pH media revealed different macroscopic morphologies and even a distinct evolution of lamellar microstructure during subsequent heating treatments. Keywords: polydioxanone; surgical suture; non-isothermal crystallization; lamellar stacking; synchrotron radiation 1. Introduction Poly(p-...
Contemporary therapeutic modalities for HNC include concurrent chemoradiation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical interventions. Nonetheless, the persistence of suboptimal patient survival rates and adverse sequelae associated with these interventions underlines the therapeutic challenges [5,8–10]. ...
After the implants were integrated, a wide variety of prosthetic solutions by Avinent Implant System were used for the rehabilitation. No specific protocols were recommended either for implant placement or loading. However, in the surgical phase, the position, type of implant to be placed and ...
