Brain tumor

patient. Dr. Q used this experience to look for more ways to better medicine, thus; decided to part take in research structured around defeating brain cancer. There was another time earlier in this book that Dr. Q was inspired by a terminally ill patient. A 5 year old girl from South America by the name of Maria with a spinal cord tumor and later a brain tumor. Maria’s story impacted Dr. Q similarly as she was a child that reminded him of his own daughter. The loss of Maria was not in vain as…

but excluding parasitic infestations, antenatal and perinatal risk factors and cerebrovascular disorders were among the most frequently reported etiology of epilepsy by 60.4%, 57.7% and 55% of the responding countries. Other salient findings report tumors, congenital defects(27.5%), parasitic infections (22.1%), exogenous chemicals including alcohol and drugs (13.4%), cryptogenic (9.4%), degenerative disorders (8.7%, febrile convulsions (7.4%) and cerebral palsy (2.7%). (Reynolds…

find and signs of significant change in sleep latency, sleep quality, and rapid-eye-movement latency in young men that were being exposed to 90 HMz for thirty minutes.The only effect that was reported was increase in electroencephalogram (recorded brain activity power density) during the first thirty minutes of rapid-eye-movement…

The brain has a direct impact on our perception and recognition of our environment, and it can efficiently suppress information and carry out tasks without our awareness of such events and even create complete illusions only possible in a prodigious machine such as the human brain. For example, our brains create color as a result of external light wavelengths in the environment and biological components…

Thesis: What is significant about being a neurosurgeon? A neurosurgeon is a medical specialist who performs diagnosis or surgical treatment relating to the brain and the spinal cord. They treat disorders such as: acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the hearing nerve), angiography (imaging of blood vessels using a certain material for better visualization of vessels), anticoagulant (a medication that prevents coagulation of the blood), etc. To be a neurosurgeon, one must acquire the following…

Introduction Equine Cushing’s Syndrome (ECS) occurs when a tumor is found in the pituitary gland of the horse’s brain. The tumor that is in the pituitary gland affects the pars intermedia which is also why Cushing’s syndrome is known as pars intermedia dysfunction (PID) (petmd). There is no specific breed that ECS affects, but it has shown that ponies are more prone to the disease than horses. Equine pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) generally occurs in older horses showing hirsutism…

Seizures are a neurological condition that is defined as the disruptions in the electrical activity of brain, which leads to alterations of the senses, behavior, and consciousness. First mentioned centuries ago, this disorder had many stigmas attached. It was thought to be the work of witches or demons, and people with epilepsy were shunned. (Langone, 2003) Epilepsy is the Greek word for seizure, and a patient is considered epileptic if they have experienced more than 2 episodes of seizure…

The human brain is a gift given to each individual on the planet, in which signals, information, and senses are stored. Though it is a mushy, pink mass located in the skull of humans, it is a lifeline needed to survive. Nerves are also important. They run throughout the body assisting in sensing pain, hot and cold surfaces, tickle spots, and many more. Nerves connect to the spinal cord, which runs up the spine of a human, attaching to the brain. This makes up the nervous system, one of the most…

Epilepsy Disease is a brain disorder. Clusters of nerve cells in the brain signal abnormally. The normal pattern of neuronal activity is disturbed. It causes strange sensations, emotions, and behavior. Sometimes it causes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness. Epilepsy is not contagious or caused by a mental illness or mental retardation. It cannot be cured, but can eventually go away on its own in some people. It may develop because of an abnormality in the brain wiring, an…

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that repress neurotransmitters in the brain. Repressing the neurotransmitters in the brain the body responds in a different type of way. The compounds attach to the different neurotransmitters and make your body block out different feelings such as pain. These cannabinoid chemicals are the most important part of the…
