THE NEUROBIOLOGICAL MECHANISM UNDERLYING HYPOTHALAMIC GNRH PULSE GENERATION: THE ROLE OF KISSPEPTIN NEURONS IN THE ARCUATE NUCLEUS [VERSION 1; PEER REVIEW: 4 APPROVED]

The neurobiological mechanism underlying hypothalamic GnRH pulse generation: the role of kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

This review recounts the origins and development of the concept of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator.It starts in the late 1960s when striking rhythmic episodes of luteinizing hormone secretion, as reflected by circulating concentrations of this gonadotropin, were first observed in monkeys and ends in the presen

Clinical Outcome Following Prolonged Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Delayed Surgery in Osteosarcoma Patients: An Evidence-based Clinical Review

Background: The incidence of osteosarcoma reached 16.8 cases annually at dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in 1995-2008.Previous studies suggested that prolonged neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery improves the clinical outcome.Prolonged neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by delayed surgery commonly occurs in Indonesia, as diagnostic i
