meningioma/アルブミン

Atypical meningioma (AM) (WHO-II) has a recurrence rate of 28% after gross total resection (GTR) with limited salvage options. Transarterial therapies may provide treatment opportunities in AM patients who exhausted standard-of-care therapy. In cases where favorable tumor vasculature and particle

OBJECTIVE To report a patient with optic nerve (ON) sheath meningioma, unilateral optic disc swelling, and inhomogeneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition between lumbar CSF and CSF from the subarachnoid space (SAS) of the affected ON. METHODS A 39-year-old woman presented with unilateral optic

Routinely processed biopsy material, including 56 gliomas of varying malignancy, 10 meningiomas, 10 brain metastases and 12 brain abscesses, was examined for the presence and distribution of IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and albumin using the unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. In all

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using technetium-99m-DTPA-human serum albumin (99mTc-HSA-D) and thallium-201 chloride (201Tl) was simultaneously performed on 25 patients with brain tumors; 10 with brain metastasis, 8 with astrocytoma (Gr. 3) and 7 with meningioma. The early image

BACKGROUND To identify meningioma-specific proteins, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 4 patients with a meningioma and 4 patients with a non-brain tumorous lesion were analyzed. METHODS Two-dimensional electrophoresis and electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry analyses

BACKGROUND Older patients are increasingly presenting for surgery with intracranial meningioma because of progress with diagnostic imaging and longer life expectancy. However, older patients have many problems, such as comorbidities and reduced physiological capacity reflected in the frailty index.

A 58-year-old man presented with recurrent frontal meningioma and nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy could not be done in view of the rapid neurological deterioration. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor. Within 4 weeks, the edema decreased, serum albumin improved, and proteinuria

OBJECTIVE Elderly patients are particularly at risk for severe morbidity following surgery. Among the various risk factors, age and skull base location of meningioma are known to be poor prognostic factors in meningioma surgery. The authors conducted this study to analyze significant preoperative

Meningiomas are one of the most common tumors affecting the central nervous system, exhibiting a great heterogeneity in grading, treatment and molecular background. This article provides an overview of the current literature regarding the molecular aspect of meningiomas. Analysis of potential

We examined the mechanism of cyst formation in extra-axial tumours in the central nervous system (CNS). Cyst fluid, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood plasma were analysed in eight patients with nine peritumoral cysts: four with meningiomas, two with intracranial and two spinal intradural

OBJECTIVE To determine (a) whether superselective angioscintigraphy with technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) can be used for the evaluation of arteriovenous shunting in tumors and vascular malformations of the head and spine and (b) whether the amount of microparticles shunted is

Progesterone receptor antagonists have been developed by substitutions at the 11-beta and 17 side-chain positions of the progestagen norethisterone. The most studied progesterone receptor antagonists are mifepristone (Mifegyne; Roussel-UCLAF; RU486) and ZK98734 and ZK98299 (Schering AG). These

This study was initiated to evaluate the impact of intracranial radiosurgery for non-malignant indications on a patient's quality of life (QOL).The study sample includes a total of 31 patients treated with single-fraction Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for a non-malignant indication. Patients were

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a devastating multi-system disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and immunodeficiency. The neurological decline may be caused by multiple factors of which ongoing inflammation and oxidative stress may play a dominant role. The objective of the present
