Prophylaxis for [[VTE]] includes sequential compression devices (nonpharmacological) and low-dose [[anticoagulant]] medications (pharmacological). [[American Heart Association]]/ [[American Stroke Association]] [[guideline]]s have recommended low-dose unfractionated [[heparin]] or low-molecular weight heparin use early after ICH since [[2007]]

Wada et al. in [[2007]] first reported [[Computed Tomography Angiography spot sign]] as a predictor for [[hematoma expansion]] in [[spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage]]

[[NICO]] Corporation, formed in October [[2007]], for the field of corridor surgery, including Cranial, ENT, Spinal and Otolaryngology where access to the surgical site is limited. The technology and products were designed to progress corridor surgery by creating instruments that allow for access through smaller openings and resection of soft tissue abnormalities.

In [[2007]], Rutten et al., described the combination of [[CT]] and [[MRI]] as limited in the [[diagnosis]] of local [[skull]] involvement from adjacent [[intracranial meningioma]]. In their [[study]], the authors demonstrated that [[skull base tumor]]s could be clearly visualised with [[18F]]-[[tyrosine]] [[PET]], even after [[radiation therapy]]

The existence of the [[zona incerta]] was first described by [[Auguste Forel]] in [[1877]] as a "region of which nothing certain can be said".

A hundred and thirty years later in [[2007]], Nadia Urbain and Martin Deschênes of Université Laval noted that the "zona incerta is among the least studied regions of the brain; its name does not even appear in the index of many textbooks.
