Brain tumor

Theresa, I remembered in our Med-Surg 1 when we were learning about MI, professor Teri Reynolds taught us a acroyname that helped the class to remember immediet treatment for MI, which is MONA and it stands for morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, and aspirin. It does not need to be in the same order, but it is want you administer for a patient that is experiencing MI. After a patient is stable from a MI, it is very important to assess and provide intervention to the patient to prevent for future…

grew into a best friend, more so than a pet. However, much of this changed when we found out she had a fatty benign tumor. 1.) At the age of 13 in 2013, Tiny was diagnosed with a tumor on the inferior, anterior side of her body. It was very small and moved fairly easily. Thankfully, the vet techs at Town and Country were able to confirm that this was just a fatty benign tumor. Which is really wonderful news when it could have just as well been cancer. We were informed to keep an eye on…

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 compounds targeted to the brain.…

How do Meningiomas Affect the Brain? Meningiomas are typical kind of tumor that begins in the nervous system. Though they are called brain tumors, they actually grow on the three layers of meninges of the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas tend to grow in the meninges of the brain, but can occur in the meninges of the spinal cord. The meninges are the tissue that protects the brain and spinal cord. The cause of meningiomas is not well understood, but could be from genetic and environmental…

Cranioplasty is the method of treatment of skull defects; it is required to protect the underlying brain, correct major aesthetic deformities or both. Today, three-dimensional (3D) models of anatomical structures can be constructed based on anatomical information from scanning data coming from computerized tomography (CT) [7,15]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is used to the 3D modelling of soft tissues and computerized tomography (CT) for hard tissues (i.e. bone) of the human body.…

My research paper is on brain cancer. The spinal cord and brain create the central nervous system, which is also known as CNS. Tumors are the main cause of cancer, they can form in any part of your body. “ A tumor that starts in another part of your body and spreads to the brain is called a metastic brain tumor.” (cancer.gov) Spinal cord and brain tumors can either start as bengin or melignant. Bengin is not cancer and melingnant is cancer. There are many types of tumors, but the most common…

complications in the brain such as tumors and aneurysms?” A craniotomy is a procedure where the bone flap of the skull is temporarily removed to expose the brain and then replaced after surgery. A craniotomy may be performed for many reasons including clipping or reconstructing an aneurysm, extracting blood or blood clots from a leaking vessel, removing abnormal masses of arteries and veins, draining abscess, mending skull fractures, repairing a tear in the lining of the brain (the dura mater),…

To begin, any disorder or sickness of the brain is severe in any means. The brain is the most powerful element in the human body. For it to be infected, could lead to a person to change their whole life. The friends and family of that patient have to become a support system. Awareness is a must and the prevention of outbursts and uncomfortable situations are needed. In the eyes of death coming along because of the brain, there has to be arrangements made for that patient who slowly lost…

Brain scans are an important tool used by doctors to allow them to have a look at what might be doing on inside the brain giving a patient discomfort. Brain scans have a wide range of potential that has yet to be utilized by doctors. This type of imagery is only used when symptoms occur and once the issues have already arose. If a child received a brain scan as a baseline scan and then continued to receive a brain scan once every five years during their lifetime. It would be beneficial to both…

Interacting: Astrocytoma in its cancerous form is a situation in which a malignant tumor starts in Astrocyte cells, which have the purpose of protecting nerve cells. As the tumor grows invasively into these cells, it presses on the nerve cells and other parts of the brain. Cancerous astrocytoma will grow very quickly, spreading into other sections of brain tissue. As it does this, it will start to push on the brain itself and stop it from functioning properly. …. Function: The astrocyte…
