RT is fundamental in the treatment of primary brain tumours. RT contributes to improved local control and prolonged progression-free survival in patients with a broad range of tumour types. Irradiation to the normal brain may lead to cognitive impairments. Clarifying the nature and severity of
Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and devastating malignant brain tumor in adults. Patients with glioblastoma face a poor prognosis. Despite maximal treatment, most patients suffer tumor progression after 6-7 months and die within 1-2 years. Standard treatment for newly diagnosed
Introduction Tumor treating fields (TTFields) are low-intensity (1-3 v/m) intermediate frequency (200 khz for GBM) alternating fields that disrupt cell division. The treatment is increasingly used as a supplementary modality for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Recent randomized clinical studies
Background: Approximately 3 000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer in Canada each year [Canadian Cancer Society]. Children with cancer experience higher rates of anxiety and depression symptoms relative to healthy controls [Pinquart & Shen, 2011], and a subgroup are vulnerable to
Cognitive impairments experienced by cancer survivors, from time of diagnosis through the health trajectory, are distressing, persistent, and negatively impact everyday function and quality of life. While reports of cancer- and treatment-related cognitive concerns vary substantially and may be
INTRODUCTION Background Children Cancer in Pakistan: Millions of people are affected by cancer worldwide. Cancer is one of the major health problems in Pakistan . About 8,000 children below 18 year were diagnosed with cancer annually. Most children diagnosed in advance stage . In Pakistan 31%
Brain tumors are the first cause of cancer mortality in children and the 3rd cause in young adults. The most frequent brain tumors are gliomas and among them the most common type is astrocytoma. The most malignant astrocytoma is Glioblastoma (GBM). Standard therapy of newly diagnosed GBM patients
The objective of this study is to use the novel approach of neuro-reinforcement based on decoded fMRI information to reduce fear responses to fearful stimuli (e.g., spiders, heights) in individuals with phobias, directly and unconsciously in the brain, without repeatedly exposing participants to
RT to brain tumours causes cognitive dysfunction. The extent of RT induced changes in cognitive function and radio-sensitivity of the brain is unknown. RT with protons instead of photons spares the healthy brain tissue more and is believed to reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction. There is modest

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant glioma in adults, with a very poor prognosis, limited new treatment options, and neurological sequelae, including physical and cognitive decline that adversely affect quality of life (QOL). Physical activity may be an intervention that
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the immediate and longer-term effects of early cognitive telerehabilitation on cognitive performance and self-reported symptoms/functioning in patients with low-grade gliomas and meningiomas, in a prospective randomized trial.
HYPOTHESIS: Cognitive telerehabilitation after
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is local acute phase protein with regenerative properties that become biologic inactive during chronic inflammation and loses the binding affinity to glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular ma-trix. HGF is excreted into the gastrointestinal tract and is not detected in
60 healthy graduation and post-graduation at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) students will take part of the study. After providing written informed consent, the volunteers will respond to four online questionnaires, received by email: a sociodemographic questionnaire investigating
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.
