BACKGROUND: In search for less invasive operative techniques, the da Vinci Robot System was introduced in thyroid surgery. Previous studies have reported on safety, effectiveness and improved cosmetics of transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy proced...
INTRODUCTION: The continuous evolution of laparoscopic surgery and the ambition of better cosmetic results raise the need for less invasive procedures. The umbilicus represents a natural scar and constitutes a well-healing site of access to the perit...
BACKGROUND: Lamotrigine is an effective anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has a narrow therapeutic range, a large inter and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability and some concentration-dependent side effects.
BACKGROUND/AIM: Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are complex clinical and genetically heterogeneous, mostly autosomal dominant neurodegenerative diseases. At present, more than 30 hereditary SCA types have been associated with different gene mutations....
