OBJECTIVE: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular lesions whose pathogenesis, although not fully elucidated, is likely multifactorial. Recent research investigating vessel development suggests a potential hierarchical model in which capillary sprouts from higher-flow arteries give rise to lower-flow v…

The aim of this review was to characterise the clinical features of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) occurring on the lips. A review of the literature was performed using PubMed to identify reports of BCCs of the lips.

AIMS: Brain injuries based on their causes are divided into two categories, TBI and NTBI. TBI is caused by damages such as head injury, but non-physical injury causes NTBI. Prolactin is one of the blood factors that increase during brain injury. It has been assumed to play a regenerative role in post-injury recovery.…

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) enables high-precision, high-dose treatment of liver lesions with acceptable toxicity. With the introduction of flattening filter-free (FFF) beams and the use of different photon energies, there is potential for improved dosimetry and treatment efficiency; however, the optimal sele…

BACKGROUND: PubMed Central (PMC) is a freely accessible digital repository offering full-text biomedical literature with structured metadata. Despite its scale, its suitability as a resource for systematic reviews, particularly in medical research and education, remains underexplored. METHODS: We studied the proportio…

CONTEXT: Flavones, the key active components in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), have demonstrated antidepressant activity. Given the numerous animal studies conducted, a systematic analysis is essential to provide a valuable reference for future research. OBJECT: This study investigated the antidepressant activity…

This paper presents accepted principles of the surgical treatment of the disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article is based on literature retrieved from the PubMed and Cochrane databases, guidelines…

CXCR3 is a well-known receptor involved in immune cell recruitment and inflammation. Pathological inflammation leads to pain stimulation and hence nociception. Therefore, we decided to review the recent research on CXCR3 to identify its precise role in the modulation of pain in a variety of clinical conditions targetin…

BACKGROUND: In infants, apneas can be centrally mediated, obstructive or both and have been proposed to be gastroesophageal reflux (GER) induced. Evidence for this possible association has never been systematically reviewed. PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review using PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases to determi…

The open access (OA) or the idea of a free access to scholarly literature published in electronic form has been already well established in the field of medicine. Medline has already been free for a decade, PubMed Central has been growing steadily. The global crisis of the scientific publishing, becoming increasingly d…

This article discusses the environment leading to the founding of the Pubmed Central database, and its likely effects on publishing as we know it.

The launch of, which is fully compliant with Plan S, has extended our author base and allowed readers worldwide to access the content for free. PubMed Central (PMC) has recently approved the journal for indexing (including indexing by PubMed), which will further improve visibility and access. Because authors retain cop…
