PSYCHOTROPIC AND ANTI-EPILEPTIC DRUG USE, BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY, AMONG PATIENTS WITH LOW-GRADE GLIOMA: A NATIONWIDE MATCHED COHORT STUDY

Psychotropic and anti-epileptic drug use, before and after surgery, among patients with low-grade glioma: a nationwide matched cohort study

Abstract Background Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a relatively rare type of brain tumour.The use of antidepressant, sedative and anti-epileptic drugs can reflect the burden of the disease.While epilepsy is well-described in patients with LGG, less is known about depression and anxiety.Methods We used nationwide registers to study the use (dispense) of

Unusual Glycosaminoglycans from a Deep Sea Hydrothermal Bacterium Improve Fibrillar Collagen Structuring and Fibroblast Activities in Engineered Connective Tissues

Biopolymers produced by marine organisms can offer useful tools for regenerative medicine.Particularly, HE800 exopolysaccharide (HE800 EPS) secreted by a deep-sea hydrothermal bacterium displays an interesting glycosaminoglycan-like feature resembling hyaluronan.Previous studies demonstrated its effectiveness to enhance in vivo bone regeneration an

Seasonal Variations of High-Frequency Gravity Wave Momentum Fluxes and Their Forcing toward Zonal Winds in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere over Langfang, China (39.4° N, 116.7° E)

Meteor radar data collected over Langfang, China (39.4° N, 116.7° E) were used to estimate the momentum flux of short-period (less than 2 h) gravity waves (GWs) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), using the Hocking (2005) analysis technique.Seasonal variations in GW momentum flux exhibited annual oscillation (AO), semiannual oscillati
