Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common, intractable seizure disorder in adults. It
is associated with an asymmetric pattern of hippocampal neuron loss within the endfolium (…

Preconditioning brain with a sub-lethal stressor can temporarily generate a damage-refractory
state. Microarray analyses have defined the changes in hippocampal gene expression …

Background The Delphi consensus statements on the management of germ cell tumors (GCTs)
failed to reach agreements on the statement that the cases with (i) pineal and …

The functional significance of neuronal death for pathogenesis of epilepsy and the underlying
molecular mechanisms thereof remain incompletely understood. The p53 transcription …

Background and Purpose— Preventing cerebral embolisms is a major concern with carotid
artery stenting (CAS). This study evaluated 3-dimensional T1-weighted gradient echo (3D …

Experimentally evoked seizures can activate the intrinsic mitochondrial cell death pathway,
components of which are modulated in the hippocampus of patients with temporal lobe …

Prolonged seizures (status epilepticus) are associated with brain region-specific regulation
of apoptosis-associated signaling pathways. Bcl-2 homology domain 3-only (BH3) members …

Prolonged seizures (status epilepticus) can activate apoptosis-associated signaling pathways.
The extent to which such pathways contribute to cell death might depend on the insult …

This clinical report is the first to describe angioscopy during carotid angioplasty with stent
placement. The average observation time was 3 minutes 43 seconds in 18 cases. The view …

Introduction It has been reported that brain tumor resection by craniotomy is a high risk for
deep venous thrombosis (DVT), though few data is available in Japanese patients. The aim of …
