Surgical strategies in the management of aggressive spinal haemangiomas: Retrospective case series with literature review and a practical treatment algorithm.

Purpose: We studied the clinico-radiological features and treatment outcomes of patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective review of 24 patients with aggressive spinal haemangiomas managed at our centre from 2004 to 2016. The cohort was divided into two groups.

A potential mechanism for the cytoprotective effects of activated protein C-released endothelial extracellular vesicles.

Activated protein C (APC) was shown to release extracellular vesicles (EVs). APC bound to the EVs was thought to be responsible for cytoprotection. Our study demonstrates that the cytoprotective effects of APC-released EVs are independent of APC.

A Survey on Factors Influencing the Work-Family-Health Balance of an Interventional Radiologist.
