Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor and also has the worst prognosis with a mean survival time below 1 year and a 5-year survival rate of less than 2%.
AF is a 41kilodalton endogenous and essential protein encompassing antisecretory and anti-inflammatory effect. Endogenous AF
The goal of this research is to address the question:
"Does the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to radiation and chemotherapy improve outcomes in locally advanced oropharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma?"
There is reason to believe that hyperbaric oxygen administered immediately prior to
Glioma is the most common primary malignant Brain Tumor.High grade glioma (HGG) has the characteristics of high morbidity, high relapse and high incidence of causing disability.Despite the progress in the combined treatment of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 2-year survival rate and
A phase II study in relapsing glioblastomas (GBM) using concurrent intraarterial carboplatin chemoradiation therapy.
BACKGROUND - Contemporary treatment of GBM brain tumors involves a first-line treatment in which the patient receives a surgical procedure followed by a combination of radiation and
The exact mechanisms by which AMS develops remains poorly understood. Interestingly, brain and spinal cord swelling due to low oxygen levels can also occur in the period following surgery to treat thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, dangerous swellings of the major blood vessel in the body.
Fluid therapy is aimed to compensate for fasting which is required for surgery, to meet the ongoing fluid losses and to maintain electrolyte balance during surgery. Fluid deficit of a healthy child who is not fed parenterally may be estimated by multiplying hourly maintenance requirement for fluid
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
Rationale: Non-invasive imaging of hypoxia with the aid of PET-scans could help to select the patients having a hypoxic tumor, who could be treated with specific anti-hypoxic treatments. The added value of additional anti-hypoxic treatments depends on the presence of hypoxia and adequate patient
Glioma is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor and remains a lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts approximately 50% of all glioma and among these tumors, are the most malignant. GBM are characterized by a higher cellular density and by the ample existence of
This study is a multi-centre randomized controlled, open label, phase II trial for patients with de-novo GBM.
Eligible patients will be randomized between arm A and arm B:
Arm A (standard): Radiotherapy and chemotherapy according to standard protocol for newly diagnosed GBM. This consists of 30
We propose a study to demonstrate quantitative oxygen saturation estimation in GBM is feasible with qBOLD and it correlates with established histopathological markers of hypoxia and angiogenesis, and targeted intraoperative oxygen measurement.
All patients will undergo surgery as part of their
Acquired brain injury (ABI) means brain damage caused by events after birth, rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorders. Those with ABI suffer from cognitive, physical, or behavioral impairments limiting their activity and participation in society. ABI results from traumatic or
Aims of the study:
1. To collect adequate brain cancer tissue material for high throughput morphological, protein, RNA and DNA analyses.
2. To combine tissue-related results of these analyses with clinical data to examine the potential of the new biomarkers to assess diagnosis, prognosis and
