Functional-guided frameless stereotactic biopsy of highly eloquent brain tumors [PDF]

Brain and Spine
Objective: Regarding diagnostics and treatment planning, intracranial mass lesions often require needle biopsies. Despite being performed with minimum invasiveness, biopsy-related functional deficits may still occur.

Preoperative nTMS and Intraoperative Neurophysiology - A Comparative Analysis in Patients With Motor-Eloquent Glioma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundThe resection of a motor-eloquent glioma should be guided by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) but its interpretation is often difficult and may (unnecessarily) lead to subtotal resection.

Effect of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation for glioma surgery outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Open Medicine
Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults, often linked to poor prognosis despite advances in treatment. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a non-invasive preoperative mapping technique that may improve glioma surgery ...

Comparison of anatomical-based vs. nTMS-based risk stratification model for predicting postoperative motor outcome and extent of resection in brain tumor surgery

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2023
Background: Two statistical models have been established to evaluate characteristics associated with postoperative motor outcome in patients with glioma associated to the motor cortex (M1) or the corticospinal tract (CST).

Redox Mechanisms Underlying the Cytostatic Effects of Boric Acid on Cancer Cells—An Issue Still Open

Antioxidants, 2023
Boric acid (BA) is the dominant form of boron in plasma, playing a role in different physiological mechanisms such as cell replication. Toxic effects have been reported, both for high doses of boron and its deficiency.

Preoperative Applications of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Preoperative mapping of cortical structures prior to neurosurgical intervention can provide a roadmap of the brain with which neurosurgeons can navigate critical cortical structures.

Preoperative individual-target transcranial magnetic stimulation demonstrates an effect comparable to intraoperative direct electrical stimulation in language-eloquent glioma mapping and improves postsurgical outcome: A retrospective fiber-tracking and electromagnetic simulation study

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
BackgroundEfforts to resection of glioma lesions located in brain-eloquent areas must balance the extent of resection (EOR) and functional preservation. Currently, intraoperative direct electrical stimulation (DES) is the gold standard for achieving the ...

Phenotypic Modulation of Macrophages and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis—Nitro-Redox Interconnections

Antioxidants, 2021
Monocytes/macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) are the main cell types implicated in atherosclerosis development, and unlike other mature cell types, both retain a remarkable plasticity. In mature vessels, differentiated vSMCs control the

Regulatory patterns in international pork trade and similarity with the EU SPS/TBT standards

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020
Aim of study: With the increasing protagonism of non-tariff measures (NTMs) in trade policy, better indexes are needed to depict the prevalence and similarity of NTMs across countries for further use in trade impact assessments. Area of study: Worldwide,
