Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) occurs as a result of the impaired functioning of the structures of the masticatory system. This disruption affects the chewing muscles, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and related structures around the joint. TMJD can produce signs and symptoms, including

This is a prospective, interventional pilot study that plans to enroll 15 patients who are receiving salvage high dose chemo and bone marrow transplant for relapsed Germ cell Cancer (rGCC). Patients will be asked to go through a series of surveys and screening procedures to determine eligibility.

The medical and technological advances in cancer research have caused a decline in cancer deaths in recent decades. For example, the 5-year survival rate now is above 80% for many adult cancers, including breast and testicular cancers. In breast cancer alone, the mortality rate has reduced 39% since

200 patients with primary liver cancer who meet the standard are included. According to the random number, the patients are divided into lidocaine group and conventional analgesia group. Changes in liver and kidney function, blood routine, blood coagulation function and tumor marker

There has been a substantial increase in cancer survival rates in the the past decades, however many cancer survivors are now impacted by the multitude of toxicities associated with treatment. It is only when temporary toxicities subside that the long-term toxicities progress and become important.

Skull base has clinically unique importance:it is the anatomic junction of the neural and facial viscerocranium,supports human brain and supports that contains the neurovascular structures entering or exiting the skull,it divided into anterior,middle and posterior skull base.Skull base tumors are a

Many patients diagnosed with a vestibular schwannoma (also called acoustic neuroma) eventually lose hearing in the afflicted ear. Improvements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have led to tumors being diagnosed at smaller sizes, however, this has not changed the eventual demise in hearing for

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are peripheral nerve sheath tumours arising from the vestibulocochlear nerve, which emerges from the brainstem at the base of the brain and enters the structures of the inner ear via a small bony canal within the skull (internal auditory meatus).

The overall aim is to provide the data that will define radiotherapy dose constraints for individual substructures of the auditory pathway such that a better balance can be made between hearing loss and tumour control during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. In particular the study aims to: 1.

Classic BCR-ABL negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are stem cell disorders characterized by abnormal myeloid proliferation and increased blood cell counts and comprise polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Myeloproliferative

The postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a well-documented complication of dural puncture. Depending on a number of factors, the overall incidence of PDPH following unintended dural puncture with an epidural placement needle is typically around 50%, but can be as high as 70% for certain

Objectives: - Primary: Determine whether head and neck cancer patients taking statin drugs for hyperlipidemia are at decreased risk of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. - Secondary: Determine the incidence and severity of hearing loss in head and neck cancer patients undergoing low-dose, weekly

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate whether a strategy of complete surgical resection followed by surveillance can maintain an overall survival rate of at least 95.7% at two years for pediatric, adolescent and adult patients (ages 0 to < 50 years) with stage I (low risk) malignant germ cell tumors,
