Porto Alegre Line predicts lenticulostriate arteries encasement and extent of resection in insular gliomas. A preliminary study by Gustavo Rassier Isolan, Gustavo Rassier Isolan, Gustavo Rassier Isolan, Samir Ale Bark, Samir Ale Bark, Jander Moreira Monteiro, Jander Moreira Monteiro, Tobias A. Mattei, Kaan Yağmurlu, Rafaela Fernandes Gonçalves, Rafaela Fernandes Gonçalves, Osvaldo Malafaia, Rafael Roesler, Rafael Roesler, Rafael Roesler, Jurandir Marcondes Ribas Filho

“…In cases with no tumor located medial to Porto Alegre line, our medial resection limit, mainly for the tumor part located next to the limen insula, was the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), identified through altered speech patterns during electric subcortical stimulation. In cases with no assumed LSTa involvement, the parameter used to stop resection was the confirmation of the corticospinal tract with 10-mA stimulus. …”

A Miniaturized Loaded Open-Boundary Quad-Ridge Horn with a Stable Phase Center for Interferometric Direction-Finding Systems by Zibin Weng, Chen Liang, Kaibin Xue, Ziming Lv, Xing Zhang

“…First, to stabilize the phase center of the antenna, the design builds on the foundation of a quad-ridge horn antenna, where measures such as optimizing the ridge structure and introducing resistive loading were implemented to achieve size reduction. Second, electrically small-sized antennas are more susceptible to the effects of common-mode currents (CMCs), which can reduce the symmetry of the radiation pattern and the stability of the phase center. …”
