A RARE CLINICAL CASE OF SYRINGOMYELIA PROGRESSION IN THE PRESENCE OF CHIARI I MALFORMATION FOLLOWING THE SURGERY

A rare clinical case of syringomyelia progression in the presence of Chiari I malformation following the surgery

Today, an Arnold-Chiari malformation is defined as a developmental pathology of the craniovertebral junction manifested by a discrepancy between the volume and contents of the posterior cranial fossa, which in turn leads to compression of neurological structures and changes in the cerebrospinal fluid circulation.There are several theories of the co

CALCAREOUS PLANKTON BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND AGE OF THE MIDDLE MIOCENE DEPOSITS OF LONGANO FORMATION (EASTERN MATESE MOUNTAINS, SOUTHERN APENNINES)

The integrated calcareous plankton biostratigraphy (planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils) and an accurate fieldwork, allowed us the reconstruction of the sedimentary evolution of the Longano Formation (Orbulina Marls).In particular the correlation between the bioevents recognised in the Orbulina Marls sequence and those recorded in a

Review of the role of graphene and its derivatives in enhancing the performance of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on titanium and its alloys

The plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) surface modification process is able to improve the surface characteristics of titanium and titanium alloys by forming TiO2 coatings.Implementing the PEO process enhances corrosion and wear protection, tunes optical properties, and more importantly, modifies the biological activities of titanium and also its
