Introduction. - Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), secondary to spinal hemangioblastoma (HBL), is extremely rare, with only a few case reports to date. We report the experience of our reference centre for spinal tumours and Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease in ...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful technique for evaluating the HER2 gene status in breast cancer specimen (1). However, most of FISH assays currently used in clinical laboratories are expensive and require long experimental time, up t ...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a formidable clinical challenge because of the lack of vascularization and adequate cell numbers in the joint cavity. In this study, we developed a novel strategy to mimic the early stage of repair in ...
INTRODUCTION: The combined use of intraoperative MRI and awake surgery is a tailored microsurgical resection to respect functional neural networks (mainly the language and motor ones). Intraoperative MRI has been classically considered to increase the exte ...
Nearly 15-40% of patients who undergo Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS) require a repeat procedure to ensure complete removal of the tumor resulting in increased healthcare costs and possible negative psychological impact on the patient. To ensure complete t ...

Introduction Primary paragangliomas (PG) of the spine are extremely rare entities. The present study reviews our experience over a period of 30 years. Methods This is a retrospective, single center, observational study. Patients surgically treated for a sp ...
The development of microfluidics has led to significant improvements in many areas of in vitro diagnostics. This thesis proposes the use of microfluidic device technology in the field of anatomic pathology, leading to faster and more accurate tissue-based ...
