Characterization of Normal Brain-reactive Antibodies in Glioma Cyst Fluids
Description :
Anti-normal brain antibodies were studied in glioma cyst fluids. Cyst fluids were obtained by stereotaxic puncture from 34 patients with cystic gliomas. Immunoglobulins were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, immuno-Western blotting, concentration measures, and isoelectrofocalization. 80% of cyst flu...

Classification and controversies in pathology of ependymomas.
Author(s) :
Godfraind, Catherine
Description :
PURPOSE: Bailey and Cushing established ependymoma as a brain tumour entity in the first brain tumour classification (1926). Diagnosis of ependymomas is not subject to controversy as long as other tumours presenting ependymoma-like features have been ruled out. Grading conversely is a source of deba...

A Global Assessment of Human Capital Mobility: the Role of non-OECD Destinations
Description :
The discourse concerning the mobility of human capital internationally typically evokes migratory patterns from poorer to relatively more wealthy countries and this focus is strongly reflected in the (brain drain) literature. This emphasis omits an important and as yet understudied aspect of the phe...

Do Brain Drain and Poverty Result from Coordination Failures?
Description :
We explore the complementarities between high-skill emigration and poverty in developing countries. We build a model endogenizing human-capital accumulation, high-skill migration and productivity. Two countries sharing the same characteristics may end up either in a “low poverty/low brain drain” pat...

Emigration and the quality of home country institutions
Description :
Emigration affects institutions at home in a number of ways. While people may have fewer incentives to voice when they have exit options, emigrants can voice once abroad and contribute to the diffusion of democratic values and norms. We first document these channels and then consider dynamic-panel r...

Effects of aluminum exposure on glutamate metabolism: A possible explanation for its toxicity
Description :
The effects of aluminum (Al) exposure on glutamate metabolism were investigated to study the mechanism of Al toxicity in rat brain. In astrocytes, the glutamate-glutamine pathway prevents the accumulation of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, recognized as a neuronal excitotoxin when present...

Seminar of the Centre-for-New-and-Emerging-Markets (CNEM)
Description :
Assuming a given educational policy, the recent brain drain literature reveals that skilled migration can boost the average level of schooling in developing countries. In this paper, we introduce educational subsidies determined by governments concerned by the number of skilled workers remaining in ...

Description :
In order to take advantage of the metabolic information provided by positron emission tomography (PET) in cases of brain tumour, we have developed a technique to integrate PET images routinely in the planning of stereotactic brain biopsy. We used stereotactic PET with [F-18]-labelled fluorodeoxygluc...
