Hemorrhage Volume and Imaging Recommendations: Factors for Decision Making in the Care of Patients With Perimesencephalic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (pmSAH) has a markedly better prognosis than aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite advances in noninvasive imaging, the role of repeat digital subtraction angiography (DSA) after negative initial high-qual...

PIWIL2 contributes to glioblastoma stem cell phenotypes

Abstract PIWI proteins, a conserved Argonaute subfamily of proteins that interact with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), have been implicated in cancer development. However, their roles in glioblastoma (GBM), particularly in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), a therapy-resistant subpo...
