Benign tumor

Three years of my college years were devoted to working part-time in Dr. Anna Marie Kenny’s Neurology Lab. We studied cancers in the cerebella of mice to understand cell signaling to prevent certain types of brain tumors in children afflicted with medulloblastoma. I worked closely with the post-doctorate, Dr. Bobby Bhatia, to help him further his research study. I was responsible for genotyping. I learned, in the field of research there is years of work and collaboration…

were run to diagnose Jordan. His initial symptoms could have been diabetes or head trauma, but the blood test was negative and the CT scan was inconclusive. Unfortunately, the MRI showed that Jordan had a brain tumor. At this point there were still many possibilities for the type of brain tumor, but it was soon discovered that he has…

was Focused Ultra Sound that enhance the drug delivery for treatment of CNS diseases. Audience Description: While writing this technical report, I imagined 2 types of people who would read it. The first type was the patient who is suffering brain tumor and is patient about this topic. The other type would be Doctor of medicine who is interested in such a topic that would help patients. The first type which is the patient would be interested to know…

Glioblastoma multiforme are tumors that affect glial cells, specifically the oligodendrocytes and astrocytes that aid in the health of the neurons located in the brain. Generally, in most adults, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) generates in the cerebral hemispheres, especially the…

destroying our lives. But the one sustaining truth is, no matter the unexpected it can be turned and contorted until it is somehow claimed a blessing in our lives. As our story unfolds with the devastating news over Mark Anthony’s brain tumor, a dormant, unseen tumor, is about to explode, in the Brown’s circle of family and friends. While the family and friends, for the most part rally, around the child, a darkness grows within the father. He has strong feelings of despair, and although no…

Scientific Background and Long-term Objectives Blood brain barrier (BBB) is a selectively permeable membrane that controls the passage of substances from the bloodstream to the central nervous system (CNS).Poor penetration of the drugs with various compositions across the BBB is evident in the biomedical research. This impacted greatly the pharmaceutical interventions of various neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumours and impairment of the CNS [1].BBB is the main route for the therapeutic…

and radio waves are used to create images of organs and tissues in the human body. The MRI scan helps the doctor see if there are any unhealthy organs or tissues in the body. MRI scans are used for injuries of the back or any other joint injuries, tumors, types of heart problems, and liver disease. When a person is getting a MRI, they need to stay very still. If they don’t, the images will not come out clear. A MRI…

are seizures, sleepiness, confusion and behavioral changes. Brain tumors are generally believed to be brain cancer, but that is not always the case. Some brain tumors can be cancerous, but others are not considered malignant, or cancerous. Malignant tumors are dangerous due to the fact that they grow aggressively and take nutrients from healthy cells to function, or can move to other parts of the body. Even though some brain tumors aren’t cancerous, they can press on the brain and cause damage,…

brain. Which has 200,000 cases per year in the U.S. It affects mostly older people like the range 60 and Older but any age can get affected by Brain Cancer?The most common brain tumors are gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, vestibular schwannomas, and primitive neuroectodermal.Brain Cancer starts with a brain tumor which can be found by a Mri scan. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and…

(GBM) is a type of malignant brain tumor typically found in the cerebral hemispheres, but can be found anywhere in the brain or spinal cord. These tumors are highly malignant meaning a large number of cells reproduce at any given time. There are two main types: primary, or de novo meaning the tumors make themselves known quickly and are extremely aggressive, and secondary meaning the tumors have a slower growth history but are equally aggressive . Secondary tumors are usually found in middle…
