My aim is to bring awareness for the need of multi-disciplinary rehabilitation and recovery care after brain surgery. The money raised by selling my hoodies and t-shirts will go towards Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer www.carriesbeanies4braincancer.com
Surgery:In some cases the definitive treatment is surgery. In most, however, surgery serves as a temporizing measure that will keep a child out of trouble for long enough to get through definitive therapy that will hopefully eliminate the tumor.Brain surgeryis usually the easiest part of a chil...

She had previously experienced headaches before falling ill and undergoing a craniotomy while abroad which was unsuccessful in removing her tumour. Ms Adams told how she saw Mr Giamouradis while she was still recovering from her first operation and how he immediately put ...
For each patient, participation was planned to last ~7.5 months: from inclusion to surgery was a maximum of 14 days, from surgery to first sonication (Cycle 1) was a minimum of 9 days to a maximum of 14 days to allow for surgery recovery. Patients were then treated until month 6, tumo...
The field of medical image segmentation, particularly in the context of brain tumor delineation, plays an instrumental role in aiding healthcare professionals with diagnosis and accurate lesion quantification. Recently, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN
(T2w), and T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). The annotations cover three parts of the brain tumor: peritumoural edema (ED), necrotic and non-enhancing tumour core (NCR/NET), and GD-enhancing tumour (ET). We used 313/1195 subjects for training and 56 subjects for ...
(e.g. radon gas exposure) or some interaction between the two. Given the overwhelming evidence that lung cancer is (distally) caused by smoking, efforts at prevention rightly focus on reducing its incidence. However, after a tumour has developed an oncologist must focus on the proximal cause ...
A new class of drug delivery system generated by coupling of antibodies to the surface of liposomes, which combines antibody-mediated tumour recognition with liposomal delivery.

Surgery is an important adjunct to antimicrobial therapy and is usually necessary for pyogenic abscesses >2.5–3.0 cm diameter.3,5 Stereotactic aspiration is now more commonly used than open craniotomy with resection., but the latter can still be indicated for large multiloculated abscesses or whe...
