MAXIMAL SAFE RESECTION OF DIFFUSE LOWER GRADE GLIOMAS PRIMARILY WITHIN CENTRAL LOBE USING CORTICAL/SUBCORTICAL DIRECT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION UNDER AWAKE CRANIOTOMY

Maximal safe resection of diffuse lower grade gliomas primarily within central lobe using cortical/subcortical direct electrical stimulation under awake craniotomy

BackgroundDiffuse lower-grade glioma (DLGG) in the central lobe is a challenge for safe resection procedures.To improve the extent of resection and reduce the risk of postoperative neurological deficits, we performed an awake craniotomy with cortical-subcortical direct electrical stimulation (DES) mapping for patients with DLGG located primarily wi

A pragmatic randomized control trial and realist evaluation on the implementation and effectiveness of an internet application to support self-management among individuals seeking specialized mental health care: a study protocol

Abstract Background Mental illness is a substantial and rising contributor to the global burden of disease.Access to and utilization of mental health care, however, is limited by structural barriers such as specialist availability, time, out-of-pocket costs, and attitudinal barriers including stigma.Innovative solutions like virtual care are rapidl

High-Performance Ternary Organic Solar Cells Enabled by Combining Fullerene and Nonfullerene Electron Acceptors

Abstract Recently, by elaborately designing nonfullerene acceptors and selecting suitable polymer donors great progresses have been made towards binary organic solar cells (OSCs) with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over 15%.Ternary organic photovoltaics by introducing a third component into the host binary system is recognized to be highly ef
