Glioma

radiation treatment, and chemotherapy, numerous patients determined to have a threatening cerebrum tumor survive just months to weeks. Cerebrum tumors in the US, and, at present, normal survival is around 14 months for patients bearing the most harmful gliomas and treated with the standard treatment of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Quality treatment incorporates the transport of characteristics that drive the treatment to the tumor cells. Along these lines, it is essential to discover a…

The Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis: A Basic and Clinical Approach to Treating Glioblastoma Multiforme Introduction Glioblastoma (World Health Organization grade IV glioma; GBM) is the most prevalent and malignant primary brain tumor in adults, and it is predominantly drug and radiation resistant1. Unlike many other solid tumor types, GBM extensively invades the surrounding brain, but it rarely metastasizes to other organs. Beyond its invasive nature, there are a variety of other hallmarks of…

Glioblastoma Gliomas account for more than 70% of all brain tumors, and of these, glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant histologic type (Ohgaki and Kleihues, 2007). Despite scientific advances, the average life expectancy of patients is nearly 15 months with poor life quality (Field et al., 2015). There are few treatments available for newly diagnosed patients; the most common is surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Based on multiple studies, there…

opinion do not take part in. Both sides of the controversy were considered with most discussed topics supported by two scientific experiments for each claim. Two experiments that strengthened the claim were: an experiment on a specific tumor cell (glioma) incubated with cannabinoids, and another experiment where the analgesic effect of synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and opioids was investigated. On the other hand, the counterclaim had: a discovery of alterations of brain tissue,…

Introduction: Cell phones are durable communication devices whose popularity has increased significantly since their first arrival over four decades ago in 1973. Cell phones transmit and receive radio-frequency electromagnetic waves which are the weakest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with the lowest frequency but the biggest wavelength in the spectrum. This type of electromagnetic radiation is less dangerous than higher frequency electromagnetic radiation at immediate contact as it is…

GBM Satellite Lesions & Chemokines: Go or Grow Hypothesis Oncolytic virotherapy therefore offers one strategy to target cancer. Oncolytic viruses take advantage of the natural propensity of cancer cells to provide an optimal state for viral replication. After infection of tumor cells, oncolytic virus replication generates progeny that are released by cytolysis to infect nearby tumor cells, amplifying the therapeutic payload throughout the tumor and potentially reaching distal cells…

the techniques you are currently using in the ongoing projects. My training in molecular biology research started during my bachelor studies in the group of Prof. Kavsan in Kyiv where I studied role of CHI3L2 protein in context of AKT pathways and glioma cancer. I received a broad training in main molecular biological methods and applied it to investigate the role of phosphorylation of our target protein in cell proliferation. I worked not only…

Gliomas have several subtypes which include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas, and choroid plexus papillomas” (Davis). This way of naming the cancers allows doctors to quickly and accurately understand how important it is to remove the tumors…

Medical Marijuana “To use or not to use?”--that is the real question at hand. Medicinal marijuana can be used for healing processes but can also have some side effects. Marijuana recipients can abuse the product and make it, as the article says, a “wider distribution”. (“Pros and Cons: Should Marijuana Be Legalized for Medical Purposes?” 1) Medical Marijuana has many purposes such as physical, psychological, and industrial benefits, but the product does have downfalls as well. The pros of…

CELL PNONE USAGE IN AMERICA Introduction Cell phones are hand-held phones that also known as wireless phones or mobile phones. Cellular phones are part of modern telecommunication and in many countries, cell phone markets have grown allowing access over half of the population of each country to use cell phones. In 2014, 6.9 billion individuals had a cell subscription globally (World Health Organization, 2014). Cell phones allow people to communicate with other people making it reliable to reach…
