This 48-year-old-man who had undergone right thyroid lobectomy for undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma nine years earlier developed generalized seizures. His cerebrospinal fluid was xanthochromic with elevation of total protein. Computed tomography (CT) showed mixed-density bilateral ventricular
We studied energy metabolism after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Four different cerebral areas were tested: frontal cortex, occipital cortex, hippocampus, and brainstem. Vmax of the following enzymatic activities was evaluated: in the homogenate: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and
Various studies using advanced techniques have estimated the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation status in glioblastoma (GBM) from preoperative images. However, it is important to be able to predict mutation status using conventional MRI, which is more widely used in clinical practice. In
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), one member of the IDH family can convert isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) via oxidative decarboxylation. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been identified in multiple tumor types and the mutations confer neomorphic activity in the mutant protein, resulting in the
Patients treated for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage show, in the long-term follow up, an elevated rate of cognitive disturbances that are mainly related to the impact of the initial bleeding: the neurotoxic effects of blood deposition in subarachnoidal spaces may result in a diffuse
Studies were carried out to determine the effects of the toxic principle linamarin, a cyanogenic glucoside, in a diet containing cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in the form of gari fed to growing dogs for 14 weeks. There were three groups of dogs, each comprising six animals. One group was fed on
Postmenopausal women receiving conjugated oestrogens 1.25 mg daily continuously were also given dydrogesterone either 5, 10 or 20 mg daily for the first 12 days of each calendar month. Endometrial tissue obtained on the sixth day of combined therapy in the third or subsequent treatment cycle was
We herein present an autopsy case of a glioma patient who received long-term treatment with temozolomide (TMZ). The patient, a 35-year-old man with a hypointense tumor of the left frontal lobe, without contrast enhancement following gadolinium (Gd) administration on T1-weighted images, underwent
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) can be a useful tool to depict vascular structures in brain tumors as well as micro-bleedings, which represent tumor invasion to blood vessels and could also be representative of tumoral angiogenesis. In this study, we investigated the relationship between SWI
BACKGROUND
Epithelioid glioblastoma, a high-grade, diffuse astrocytic tumor variant, comprises closely packed epithelioid cells and rhabdoid cells. This rare tumor usually develops in the cerebral cortex and diencephalon; however, in the case reported here, it was located
State-of-the-art proteomics technologies have recently helped to elucidate the unanticipated complexity of red blood cell metabolism. One recent example is citrate metabolism, which is catalyzed by cytosolic isoforms of Krebs cycle enzymes that are present and active in mature erythrocytes and was
Healthy postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to groups receiving 28-day treatment cycles of estradiol (E2) valerate (2 mg, days 1-21) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (10 mg, days 12-21) (N = 18), 17 beta-estradiol (1.5 mg, days 1-24) combined with desogestrel (150 micrograms, days
The present study was conducted on bone tissue responses to irradiation towards a treatment model of mandibular irradiation injury by comparing the results of experimental observations of irradiation effects on rabbit hind legs and rat mandibular bones (paper I, II and III) with clinical
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effects on the postmenopausal endometrium of two doses of oral piperazine oestrone sulphate and interrupted norethisterone in comparison with a continuously combined regimen and placebo.
METHODS
A prospective randomised trial.
METHODS
Two hundred healthy postmenopausal
Early-life exposure to lead (Pb) can lead to health effects in later life. The neurotoxic effects of Pb have been well documented but its effects on the heart are poorly elucidated. We examined the late life cardiac impairments resulting from developmental exposure to Pb. Further, we investigated
