Benign tumor

The cause of hyperpituitarism is due to pituitary adenomas which are tumors that develop in the pituitary gland, generally we do not know why these tumors occur. Since we don’t know what cells are affected the pituitary gland will start to secrete excessive amounts of one or maybe even two hormones. This disease affects men and women equally between the ages of…

cancer. She has three tumors on her brain, but cancer does not originate in the brain it comes from another spot in the body. For maw-maw it began with a small spot on her lungs.The largest tumor on her brain is the size of a golf ball. ” This was my biggest nightmare. “What does that mean? Momma” “The doctor can’t tell us too much until after her next appointment. That is when we will line up all the procedures. They did mention she will need to have surgery to remove the tumors on her brain.…

The best imagining device that would be best to use to localize the tumor in the man’s brain is the MRI. This is because the MRI, which is also known as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a scanner that uses a powerful magnet and radio waves linked to a computer to create remarkably clear and detailed cross sectional images of the body. The MRI machine can be used to view, monitor or diagnose various things. It can be used to identify and monitor abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord, and…

information she knew by heart, and could not perform basic mental tasks, which are all symptoms of brain tumor (Liu et al., 2009). While she just overlooked it thinking she was stressed or exhausted, her second youngest son (the one who lives near her) advised her to go to the hospital to check her brain as a precautionary measurement. Thankfully, she listened and was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was still in its relatively early stages. Our entire extended family is grateful to the second…

middle child of five children. I never took interest in specifically pharmacy. But because I was kind, patient, and caring I always knew that I wanted a career in the medical field. This all changed the day my father was diagnosed with stage-four brain tumor called Glioblastoma. I was only nine years old when my siblings and I had certain responsibilities when taking care of my father. I had the responsibility to give him his medication which was often multiple pills at once assuming each for a…

The biggest red flag in Whitman’s case in the presence of a brain tumor that was pressing against his amgydala (Midd, 2000). The amgydala is a small structure in the frontal lobe of the brain that helps to regulate emotions. There are close ties between the amgydala, psychopathy, and lack of emotion (Bartol, 2011). This…

Cranioplasty is the method of treatment of skull defects; it is required to protect the underlying brain, correct major aesthetic deformities or both (Pompili et al., 1998). Today, three-dimensional (3D) models of anatomical structures can be constructed based on anatomical information from scanning data coming from computerized tomography (CT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is used to 3D modelling of soft tissues and computerized tomography (CT) for Hard tissues (i.e. bone) of the human…

Magnetic resonance imaging uses non-aggressive magnetic imaging technology to produce a three dimensional image of a bodily part. This is similar yet different to the use of x-ray imaging for similar purposes, however, MRI has no trace of the damaging ionizing radiation given off during the use of x-rays and CT scans. MRI is generally used for inspection and detection in the muscles, ligaments and soft tissue through the human body and can be used to monitor treatments, diagnosis of a patient…

postoperative neurological decline in 21% to 64% of patients [18, 22, 23, 24, 26]. However, it might become possible to improve the survival rate of spinal cord astrocytoma by preventing neurological aggravation after treatment. Also, with previous studies, tumor dissemination was seen to be a signifi cant poor prognostic factor for surviva [11, 14, 22, 24]. However, in our study, it is not considered in this…

gets bigger it can spread to the outer layer of the cell causing a cancerous tumor. CRC is known to be the fourth leading cause of death in the United States due to Cancer. With treatments of CRC it has improved the incidence reports of Brain Metastasis over time. Without treatment, such as , Opening the brain and having the tumor Surgically removed, Stereotactic radiosurgery, which is a gamma ray to treat small sized tumors , and Radiotherapy patients are more likely to live up to 1-2 months.…
