Incidence and Clinical Presentation of Pre- and Postoperative Seizures in Patients With Posterior Fossa Meningiomas.

Introduction: Seizures are a common symptom of supratentorial meningiomas with pre- and postoperative seizure rates of approximately 30% and 12%, respectively, especially in parasagittal and convexity meningiomas. Less is known about the association between seizures and posterior fossa meningiomas. This study evaluates the prevalence, potential causes, and outcomes of seizures in patients who have undergone surgery for posterior fossa meningioma.

Role of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) in mechanical stress protection of periodontal ligament cells.

Objective: The periodontal ligament (PDL) is exposed to constant mechanical forces potentiated by orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). The aim of our study was to investigate the involvement of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) in mechanosensing and cellular adaption to forces in the PDL.

Materials And Methods: Human PDL cells were loaded with 2.
