Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.

Long‐term outcomes of stereotactic radiofrequency ablation in hypothalamic hamartomas: A single‐center experience

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) lead to refractory epilepsy, and minimally invasive surgical approaches are standard of care for affected patients. Stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SRT) is one of the treatment methods recognized to achieve seizure freedom. This study reports surgical outcome from a single center reporting
