Entrapment of the sciatic nerve at the linea aspera: A case report and literature review
Date of publication: 19-Oct-2016
Background:Nontraumatic, non-neoplastic sciatic nerve entrapment at the level of the thigh is extremely rare. In its course, in proximity of the linea aspera, the nerve is exposed to unexpected neuropathic syndromes associated with bone disorders.

Exploring the Virchow–Robin spaces function: A unified theory of brain diseases
Date of publication: 07-Oct-2016
Background:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport across the central nervous system (CNS) is no longer believed to be on the conventional lines. The Virchow–Robin space (VRS) that facilitates CSF transport from the basal cisterns into the brain interstitial fluid (ISF) has gained interest in a whole new array of studies. Moreover, new line of evidence suggests that VRS may be involved in different pathological mechanisms of brain diseases.
