Abstract:
Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle (CGTV) is a rare, slow-growing, World Health Organization Grade II glial tumor, with stereotyped localization in the anterior third ventricle. Despite being considered a noninvasive tumor, CGTV is usually associated with a poor clinical outcome due to its close proximity to important cerebral structures, such as the hypothalamus and visual pathways. Our patient with CGTV experienced visual involvement, but after subtotal surgical resection showed no evidence of progression at 5-year follow-up.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
