Very happy to finally see this work published, where we investigate the role of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in the survival of a cohort of GBM patients. Thank you @lavrador_jose for the support and invaluable guidance. @KingsNeuro @EditorNeuro academic.oup.com/noa/article/8/…

We have published on "The EFTC Approach in management of pineal tumors: GTR through a single burr hole" @SpringerNature Child's NS 👉minimally invasive route for lesions in the posterior 3rd ventricle 🔗rdcu.be/e8jiB @BasselZebian @DrAtaSiddiqui
