Slowdown intracranial glioma progression by optical hyperthermia therapy: study on a CT-2A mouse astrocytoma model.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metallic nanorods are promising agents for a wide range of biomedical applications. We report an optical hyperthermia method capable of inducing slowdown tumor progression of an experimental in vivo CT-2A glioblastoma tumor. The tumor model used in this research is based on the transplantation of

EFFECTS: an expanded access program of everolimus for patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, has been shown to be effective and safe in the treatment of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The Everolimus For Fast Expanded aCcess in TSC SEGA (EFFECTS) study was

Critical appraisal of experimental radiation modalities for malignant astrocytomas.

Only registered users can translate articles

The management of patients with supratentorial malignant astrocytomas has remained a major problem. Patients continue to die from a lack of local control in 90% of cases despite an improvement of median survival seen with the use of postoperative radiation therapy. Because of this, there has been

Quality of life and neuropsychological evaluation for patients with malignant astrocytomas: RTOG 91-14. Radiation Therapy Oncology Group.

Only registered users can translate articles

With increasingly aggressive neurosurgical and radiation therapy modalities (gamma knife, external beam stereotactic radiation and interstitial brachytherapy with or without hyperthermia) offered to patients with malignant astrocytomas (MA), increasing national demand for medical outcome studies and

Astrocytoma in a boar.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 2-year-old Duroc boar was examined because of weakness, ataxia, and blindness. During hospitalization, fever spikes of about 41.6 C (107 F) were recorded every 24 hours. The tentative diagnosis was a space occupying mass in the diencephalon. The boar's condition deteriorated rapidly, so the boar

Effect of age and reoperation on survival in the combined modality treatment of malignant astrocytoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Before the advent of the operating microscope and the carbon dioxide laser, reoperations were performed in less than 5% of patients with malignant astrocytoma. Between 1978 and 1981, a consecutive series of 74 adult patients were prospectively treated therapy, all patients eligible for further

A phase II clinical study on relapsed malignant gliomas treated with electro-hyperthermia.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity of electro-hyperthermia (ET) on relapsed malignant glioma patients. Twelve patients with histologically diagnosed malignant glioma entered the study. Eight patients had glioblastoma multiforme, two had anaplastic astrocytoma grade

Anaplastic astrocytoma mimicking herpes simplex encephalitis in 13-year old girl.

Only registered users can translate articles

Astrocytoma is the most common childhood brain tumor. Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) are high grade gliomas (HGG), found very rarely in pediatric patients. AA mainly results from a dedifferentiation of a low grade astrocytoma. Clinical features of supra-tentorial tumors vary according to their anatomic

Nitric oxide modulation of interleukin-1[beta]-evoked intracellular Ca2+ release in human astrocytoma U-373 MG cells and brain striatal slices.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and release into mammal CSF plays a fundamental role in the etiogenesis of fever induced by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and other pyrogens. The source and mechanism of IL-1beta-induced intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization was investigated

Phase II trial of Serratia marcescens extract in recurrent malignant astrocytoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nineteen assessable patients with recurrent malignant astrocytomas who had failed standard therapy (surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy) were treated on a phase I-II trial with a biologic extract of Serratia marcescens (ImuVert; Cell Technology, Boulder, CO) a new biologic response modifier

Adult respiratory distress syndrome in patients with malignant astrocytoma--three case reports.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three patients treated for intracranial malignant astrocytomas developed adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). All three patients had a Karnofaky performance status score of at least 80% and similar clinical characteristics. All demonstrated hypersensitivity to phenytoin. ARDS occurred in two

Thermoradiotherapy for brain tumors. Three cases of recurrent malignant astrocytoma and review of clinical experience.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three patients with symptomatic, recurrent supratentorial malignant astrocytoma were retreated with combined interstitial iridium-192 brachytherapy (RT) and hyperthermia (HT): 50 Gy at 50 cGy/h was delivered 10 mm outside the computed tomography (CT) enhancement border through stereotactically

[A case of pontine astrocytoma with unusual neuroimaging features].

Only registered users can translate articles

We would like to report a rare case of pontine glioma with unusual neuroimaging features. The patient was a 3-year-old girl who suffered from chronic nausea and gait disturbance for several months. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated ventricular dilatation, and ventricular peritoneal (VP) shunt
