      Meningiomas represent the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, but few microRNA (miRNA) profiling studies have been reported so far. Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries generated from two human meningioma biopsies WHO grades I (benign) and II (atypical) were compared to excess dura controls. Nineteen differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR using tumor RNA ...
    • Triple use of autologous amnion graft in the treatment of meningomyelocele and split cord malformation

      This article describes the triple use of autologous amnion graft as a new procedure in the treatment of myelomeningocele and in myelomeningocele with split cord malformation. The first amnion graft was used as a physical and mechanical barrier to protect the myelomeningocele (MMC) from desiccation and mechanical stress directly after birth. A second graft was used as a dura substitute to close the ...
