The New England Neurosurgical Society: growth and evolution over 70 years (Dennis Oh) All Scholarly Works (2022)

The New England Neurosurgical Society (NENS) was founded in 1951 under the leadership of its first President (Dr. William Beecher Scoville) and Secretary-Treasurer (Dr. Henry Thomas Ballantine). The purpose of creating the NENS was to ...

A Heparin Binding Motif Rich in Arginine and Lysine is the Functional Domain of YKL-40 (Dennis Oh) All Medicine (2018)

The heparin-binding glycoprotein YKL-40 (CHI3L1) is intimately associated with microvascularization in multiple human diseases including cancer and inflammation. However, the heparin-binding domain(s) pertinent to the angiogenic activity have yet been identified. YKL-40 harbors a consensus ...

The ROI-C zero-profile anchored spacer for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: biomechanical profile and clinical outcomes (Dennis Oh) All Scholarly Works (2017)

INTRODUCTION: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been the gold standard for treating cervical degenerative disc disease (cDDD). The use of anterior plates in ACDF poses an increased risk of complications such as screw ...

Vascular heterogeneity and targeting: The role of YKL-40 in glioblastoma vascularization (Rong Shao, Sherry Taylor, Dennis Oh, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2015)

Malignant glioblastomas (GBM) are highly malignant brain tumors that have extensive and aberrant tumor vasculature, including multiple types of vessels. This review focuses on recent discoveries that the angiogenic factor YKL-40 (CHI3L1) acts on glioblastoma-stem ...

Transdifferentiation of glioblastoma stem-like cells into mural cells drives vasculogenic mimicry in glioblastomas (Stephan Scully, Brooke Bentley, Sherry Taylor, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Recent evidence has shown that glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) can transdifferentiate into endothelial cells and vascular-like tumor cells. The latter pattern of vascularization indicates an alternative microvascular circulation known as vasculogenic mimicry (VM). However, it ...

Glioblastoma-derived tumor cells induce vasculogenic mimicry through Flk-1 protein activation (Brooke Bentley, Stephan Scully, Wei Yan, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Glioblastoma (GBM) is extremely aggressive and essentially incurable. Its malignancy is characterized by vigorous microvascular proliferations. Recent evidence has shown that tumor cells display the ability to drive blood-perfused vasculogenic mimicry (VM), an alternative microvascular ...

Role of YKL-40 in the angiogenesis, radioresistance, and progression of glioblastoma (Dennis Oh, Sherry Taylor, Luis Moral, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2011)

Glioblastoma is one of the most fatal cancers, characterized by a strong vascularized phenotype. YKL-40, a secreted glycoprotein, is overexpressed in patients with glioblastomas and has potential as a novel tumor biomarker. The molecular mechanisms ...

Biopsy-Proven Rasmussen's encephalitis: seizure suppression and partial reversal of deficits with antiepileptic medications and tacrolimus (Carmel Armon, Sivakumar Natanasabapathy, Dennis Oh, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2010)

Isolation and characterization of glioma stem cells (Dennis Oh, Sherry Taylor, Robert Schapiro, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2010)

Minimally invasive treatment for brain tumors (Dennis Oh) All Scholarly Works (2005)

A low-field intraoperative MRI system for glioma surgery: is it worthwhile? (Dennis Oh) All Scholarly Works (2005)

As intraoperative MRI expands its presence, its use will undoubtedly increase in glioma surgery. The foregoing discussion makes it clear that its benefits are unsurpassed by any other existing system. Because of their radiographic characteristics ...
