Bone cancer is a tumor of the bone that demolishes normal bone tissue in which some cases, may spread to other areas of the body. This disease, generally, is life threatening, it causes tissues such as blood vessels, nerves, and bones to be destroyed by the cancer. Those with bone cancer have abnormal cells and when these cells get in the bloodstream, they can move to different parts of the body and spread the cancer. (Bone Cancer, 2016). Benign (noncancerous) bone tumors are more common than…

Limitations of FDG PET and PET/CT and the role of MRI One drawback of PET based imaging is that some tumor types do not demonstrate significant FDG avidity. Schwab JH et al. reported a case of myxoid liposarcoma metastasis to the lumbar spine and paraspinal soft tissues, which was not detected by FDG PET, but easily seen on MRI [19]. In these cases, where FDG PET offers limited sensitivity, other target specific radiotracers or other imaging modalities, such as MRI should be considered. The…

Crib Tunes May Have Made You Smarter Music is an integral part of culture, economy, society, and, not surprisingly, our development. Different musical notes condition their brains to different sounds in the environment. Furthermore, musical complexities may subconsciously work their way into the calculating capacity of the child’s cognition and inspire toward a higher level of thinking at a younger age, ultimately influencing the behavior of the adult brain. Studies that try to delineate…

Literature review It is a stark reality that as people age, their cognitive abilities tend to decrease, including memory capabilities. At the present, scholars have identified three types of memory stores: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). Memory includes primarily three processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Additionally, in order to these processes occur favorably, attention to the information or stimuli presented is vital (Garrett, 2011; Sternberg,…

People question. How it is caused?, how can it be treated?, what symptoms could occur through brain cancer? Many people suffer from a type of cancer. One cancer that is good to learn is, brain cancer. You can’t walk to a local store and ask for medicine to cure this disease. To treat brain cancer you may have to visit your local doctor. This disease takes a process that may slowly progress like a turtle going to the shore. Some people have it for a lifetime. But some live with it for a short…

Despite recent media attention, public awareness campaigns, and mandatory trainings in public school systems, concussions remain a conundrum. Concussions are complex medical events potentially resulting in a sequelae of issues. Ramifications range in scope and severity across medical, emotional, social, and academic domains. The definition of a concussion differs across medical disciplines and the general public (3). Although the definition varies across different medical subspecialties,…

Preoperative evaluation Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting and surgery for valvular disease, represents one of the most common classes of surgical procedures performed worldwide. Advances in the percutaneous management of coronary artery disease as well as in cardiac surgical techniques have led to improved outcomes with consequent longer life expectancy for patients. Greater numbers of patients with depressed left ventricular function, multiple comorbidities, failed…

Memory is a critical part of our lives. It helps us to get better grades in school and reflect on special moments we experienced. There is a vast amount of research in psychology on what promotes and inhibits memory encoding and retrieval. Our current study assessed the difference in memory retention when expecting a memory test vs. a surprise memory test. We selected 253 participants from Dalhousie University and split them into two groups. One group was expecting a memory test and the other…
