The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
Lithium belongs to a class of kinase-targeting therapies, including the diabetes medication exenatide and the cancer medication nilotinib, that have demonstrated promise as disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD). Exenatide was recently shown to engage protein kinase B (Akt) and
Methods:
Patients with recurrent high grade glioma diagnosed on MRI and consenting to study protocol will undergo 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT imaging. Surgery for recurrent brain tumor will follow standard of care treatment including as complete as possible tumor resection followed by histopathological

The presented project will focus on the evaluation of a multimodal approach comparing human GBM to paired samples of orthotopic xenografts using high resolution MRI and MRS and multidimensional molecular profiling.
20 patients with a high probability for newly diagnosed GBM based on MRI-scan ( 3
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome(PCOS) is a genetically complex endocrine disorder of uncertain etiology and a common cause of hyperandrogenism, anovulatory infertility, menstrual dysfunction, hirsutism, alopecia and acne. It was first reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935. It affects 6-8% of women of
