Perioperative Management of Massive Anterior Encephalocele in a Newborn: A Case Report.

Anterior encephaloceles are rare neural tube defects posing anesthetic challenges. While anterior encephaloceles can cause airway obstruction at birth, this presentation is very rare and to our knowledge not reported in the literature. This case report describes a 34 weeks +0 days gestation, 2.

Simultaneous isolation of intact brain cells and cell-specific extracellular vesicles from cryopreserved Alzheimer's disease cortex.

Background: The neuronal and gliaI populations within the brain are tightly interwoven, making isolation and study of large populations of a single cell type from brain tissue a major technical challenge. Concurrently, cell-type specific extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold enormous diagnostic and therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD).

New Method: Postmortem AD cortical samples were thawed and gently dissociated.

Pathfinder: open source software for analyzing spatial navigation search strategies.

Spatial navigation is a universal behavior that varies depending on goals, experience and available sensory stimuli. Spatial navigational tasks are routinely used to study learning, memory and goal-directed behavior, in both animals and humans. One popular paradigm for testing spatial memory is the Morris water maze, where subjects learn the location of a hidden platform that offers escape from a pool of water.

database.bio: a web application for interpreting human variations.

Unlabelled: Rapid advances of next-generation sequencing technology have led to the integration of genetic information with clinical care. Genetic basis of diseases and response to drugs provide new ways of disease diagnosis and safer drug usage. This integration reveals the urgent need for effective and accurate tools to analyze genetic variants.
