Brain tumor

Discussion Question #6 Article Summary My research paper is about a cytokine --- Tumor necrosis factor alpha, which is involved in systemic inflammation and is found in high concentration in patients diagnosed with autoimmune disorders. The article chosen describes the effects caused by a change in the level of cytokine Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a). The cytokine TNF-a is a proinflammatory, recognized to encourage HIV-1 reproduction and is involved in the development of HIV-1 related…

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…

Plain radiography is quick, easiest, inexpensive, and universally available in any hospital emergency center. It still consider as the first diagnostic modality at many facilities, especially those that are not trauma centers. Plain radiograph put out the foundation of day-to-day imaging. They may on their own be enough to provide a diagnosis, or they may need to be completed by other modalities, such as computed tomography (CT). [10][13] Plain radiograph are of limited value in isolated…

1864 a German physician named Rudolph Virchow first described this cancer as a abdominal tumor. The cancer cell appears on adrenal glands mostly and can cause pain in abdomen bones. This cancer mostly shows in 10 year olds and younger , reason why has still not been proven , but scientist do say neuroblastoma develops in early age. Neuroblastoma has two stages , 4 and 4s. Stage for is when the children's tumor spread further throughout the body than where it was originally found. Stage 4s…

from The New York Times titled “Paging Dr. Pigeon; You’re Needed in Radiology” by Nicholas Bakalar that was published on November 24, 2015. The article discussed the recent study of training and using pigeons to identify benign or malignant breast tumors by looking at a slide from a biopsy or a mammogram at the University of California Davis medical Center, University of Iowa, and the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Emory University. This study was conducted as a tool and…

topic 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…

medicine. Patients like her inspired me to want to learn more and research more to try to find explanations for why the brain and body behave in such an unusual…

Enchondroma is a type of noncancerous bone tumor that begins in the cartilage. While these tumors are not frequently cancerous, they can still lead to deformity and fractures of large or small long bones. Although the cause of enchondromas are unknown, the tumors may be either from an overgrowth of cartilage that lines the ends of the bones or a persistent growth of original, embryonic cartilage. Enchondromas can affect anyone but specifically affects patients between the ages of 10 to 20 years…
