AWAKE CRANIOTOMY

Awake Craniotomy

Introduction: Awake craniotomy is useful to achieve wide brain resections of lesions in eloquent areas.Objective: To present the case of a patient who was operated on with the asleep-awake-asleep technique.Method: Anesthesia was induced with propofol-fentanyl-rocuronium and a laryngeal mask was placed.After scalp block, the propofol-fentanyl and li

Control of endothelial tubulogenesis by Rab and Ral GTPases, and apical targeting of caveolin-1-labeled vacuoles.

Here, we examine known GTPase regulators of vesicle trafficking events to assess whether they affect endothelial cell (EC) lumen and tube formation.We identify novel roles for the small GTPases Rab3A, Rab3B, Rab8A, Rab11A, Rab27A, RalA, RalB and caveolin-1 in co-regulating Eyewear membrane trafficking events that control EC lumen and tube formation

Three-Dimensional Structure of PANI/CdS NRs-SiO2 Hydrogel for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution with High Activity and Stability

Three-dimensional PANI/CdSNRs-SiO2 hydrogel (CdS NRs-PANI-SiO2) was synthesized by loading polyaniline (PANI) onto the semiconductor CdS nanorods (NRs) surface and loading the binary complex on Button Cell SiO2 gel.The structure, optical properties, and electrochemical properties of the composite were studied in detail.The hydrogen production amoun

Investigation on Parameters Affecting the Effectiveness of Photocatalytic Functional Coatings to Degrade NO: TiO2 Amount on Surface, Illumination, and Substrate Roughness

This paper deals with the degradation of NO by photocatalytic oxidation using TiO2-based coatings.Tests are conducted at a laboratory scale through an experimental setup inspired from ISO 22197-1 standard.Various parameters are explored to evaluate their influence on photocatalysis efficiency: TiO2 dry Lithium matter content applied to the surface,

Optimizing CRISPR/Cas9 for the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for genome editing.We constructed an easy-to-handle expression vector for application in the Wine Tumbler Couple Card model organism Phaeodactylum tricornutum and tested its capabilities in order to apply CRISPR/Cas9 technology for our purpose.In our experiments, we targeted two different genes, screened for mutations
