Safety and tolerability of zonisamide in paediatric patients with epilepsy.
Zonisamide has recently been approved in Europe for the adjunctive treatment of partial seizures (with or without secondary generalisation) in adolescents and children aged ≥6 years. To further assess the safety of adjunctive zonisamide in paediatric epilepsy patients. A pooled analysis of data from 17 studies (includi...

Application and assessment of optical clearing methods for imaging of tissue-engineered neural stem cell spheres.
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an important tool that facilitates biological discoveries by bridging the divide between standard two-dimensional cell culture and the complex, high-cell-density in vivo environment. Typically, the internal structures of 3D tissue-engineered samples are visualized through an invol...

siRNA therapy in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells using polymeric carriers.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) arise from specific molecular aberrations that lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation. RNA interference (RNAi) with short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is a feasible approach to interrupt aberrant signal processing in CTCL cells, but functional biomaterial carriers are needed to effectiv...

Increased frequency of mitral valve prolapse in patients with deviated nasal septum.
Any abnormality of collagen may affect the tissues with higher collagen content, e.g., joints, heart valves, and great arteries. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a characteristic of generalized collagen abnormality. Nasal septum (NS) is constituted by osseous and cartilaginous septums that are highly rich in collagen. We...
