Overall survival Mean overall survival (OS) was 13.8 years (median was not reached) with 96% at 3 years, 93% at 5 years, 83% at 10 years and 64% at 15 years after RT. For low-grade meningioma survival rate was 97% at 3 years, 94% at 5 years, 85% at 10 years and 65% at 15 years, for atypical meningioma 91% at 3 years, 86% at 5 years, 62% at 10 years and 50% at 15 years. As expected OS is significantly better for low-grade meningioma (p=.034, Figure 1). Stratified by histology, we compared groups…

The identification of genes causing non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHL) [http://dnalab-www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh/] has partially resolved the puzzle of clinical and genetic heterogeneity of deafness (1). Among these genes the gene with the most significant impact on the population genetics and genetic counselling is the GJB2 (connexin-26) gene with the mutation c.35delG that accounts for the majority of mutations in deaf Caucasians (2, 3). Studies published so far have reported the…

Any type of disorder has to be treated depending on symptoms and severity. Huntington’s disease is a disorder that should be treated effectively to live a longer and more stable life. Huntington’s can be carried by one person and hereditarily given to their offspring making this a genetic disease. Also, Huntington’s disease is metabolic disease because it is at loss for…

The Ebola outbreak that began in 2014 was one of the deadliest and fast-moving epidemics the world has seen. Outbreaks mainly began in West Africa and quickly spread worldwide, affecting well over tens of thousands of people. It was not long before much of the world became familiar with the disease through personal connections or hearing about it from the extensive news coverage. Richard Preston, an American author, is very familiar with infectious diseases, and dives into all aspects of…

Angina Overview I have chosen this condition to investigate because I find it an interesting one, and one that I rarely hear about. Everyone has a heart, a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout our bodies through veins, arteries and capillaries. These blood vessels supply our other major organs and tissue with oxygen and carries away the carbon dioxide and waste.

Research by Hambly and Griva (2010) attempted to assess how well the IKDC and KOOS measure symptoms and disabilities important to post-ACL reconstructed patients by having subjects complete a survey. Subjects for this study were recruited from the knee guru website, which is an online forum for patients with different types of knee pathologies. Inclusion criterion was set as initial ACL reconstruction. Subjects who underwent revisions or had multiple ligament repairs were excluded from the study…

The great supplement that you have never heard about: Krill oil Krill oil comes from Krill, tiny shrimp like creatures that come from the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Krill oil confers some dietary eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (Omega-3 contents), the two fatty acids that are the active components of fish oil, both have the similar content of DHA but krill oil tends to have higher EPA content and Krill oil might be absorbed in the body better than fish oil. Major…

result Terry wouldn’t be able to participate in track or basketball, he dreamed of running. Additionally, the bone cancer had to be the most painful factor during rehabilitation for our young athlete. Even so, with much dreams fueled by willpower, Terry strived for his best during the marathon of hope. A lot of pain and self-sacrifice was experienced in his odyssey, an immense number of cancer research grants have been awarded for his efforts. Terry Fox remained vigilant despite his hindrances…
