Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying blood biomarkers as a safer way to help diagnose and track brain cancer called glioblastoma, instead of using risky tissue samples.
- They checked a part of DNA called MGMT methylation in both blood and tissue from patients to see how well these two methods work together.
- The tests showed that while they can find methylation in blood, the results don't always match tissue samples, and improvements are needed before blood tests can replace tissue tests completely.
Introduction: The authors present the results of a series of 121 cases of posterior vertebral fixation carried out from Sept 2008 to Sept 2010 using Flouro 2D-TC assisted Vector Vision o Kolibri navigator. ( Brain LAB, Feldkirchen, Germany).
Material: The sample included 68 males and 53 females.
Objective: The stabilization of C1-C2 segment has evolved with the appearance of several techniques from sublaminar, transarticular or interarticular fixation and over recent years with the introduction of neuronavegation systems. The aim of the study was to review patients treated in our center with transarticular and interarticualr fixation and compare the results obtained with both techniques.
Methods: Thirty six patients with C1-C2 instability that required a surgical fixation between 1995-2008 were retrostpectively analized.

Feathers provide a potentially useful biomonitoring option in studies regarding pollution exposure in avian species. However, they must be used with care because the complex, fine structure is highly prone to accumulating surface contamination. This may therefore give a misleading indication of pollutant intake in the animal.

Objective: To compare the clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of the Chiari I malformation with suboccipital craniectomy, posterior arch of C1 resection with or without dural graft, analyzing clinical and radiological findings and describing the complications.
