Role of connexins in spinal cord injury: An update.

Connexins (Cxs) are a family of transmembrane proteins that assemble into groups of six, forming what is known as a connexon or a hemichannel. Connexins are named based on their molecular weight, e.g.

Hypothalamic Hamartomas: A Comprehensive Review of Literature - Part 3: Updates on Radiotherapy Management.

Hypothalamic hamartomas (HH) are rare, non-neoplastic heterotopic tissues which contains normal neurons and glia including oligodendrocytes and fibrillary astrocytes but in an abnormal distribution. They arise from the floor of the third ventricle, tuber cinereum, or mammillary bodies. Estimated incidence ranges from 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 1,000,000.

Postoperative surgical site infections in patients undergoing spinal tumor surgery: incidence and risk factors.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective, case control study on patients undergoing surgery for spinal tumors. OBJECTIVE.: Our aim was to determine the incidence and to identify risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients undergoing surgery for spinal tumors.
