Pipeline embolization device for the treatment of intra- and extracranial fusiform and dissecting aneurysms: initial experience and long-term follow-up.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We sought to evaluate whether taurine detection in short-echo (20 ms) proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy contributes to the noninvasive differential diagnosis between medulloblastoma and cerebellar astrocytoma in children and young adults. These two types of tumor have very different prognoses and may be ...
