Anti-inflammatory and Immune Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease: Current Status and Future Directions
From the initial characterizations of inflammatory responses in Alzheimer's disease (AD) affected brains, namely the demonstration of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes, complement system activation, increased production of proinflammatory cytokines, and evidence for microglial-produced neurotoxins, there was hope that reducing inflammation might be a feasible treatment for this memory...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for rectal cancer: current status and future directions.
BACKGROUND Treatment for rectal cancer has evolved over the past 70 years from surgery alone to the selective use of trimodality therapy for high-risk patients. Radiotherapy (RT) has improved the potential for tumor downstaging, thus enhancing sphincter preservation and local control. METHODS This article reviews the evolution of strategies that incorporate pelvic RT, intraoperative RT, and h...
متن کاملCurrent Status and Future Directions
Myocardial deformation imaging is a novel echocardiographic method for assessment of global and regional myocardial function. As this technology has evolved, it has been applied to an increasing number of research questions, and the number of publications incorporating deformation imaging has grown in parallel. Although not yet sufficiently vetted for routine clinical use, these methods offer t...
متن کاملImage-guided Surgery and Therapy: Current Status and Future Directions
Image-guided surgery and therapy is assuming an increasingly important role, particularly considering the current emphasis on minimally-invasive surgical procedures. Volumetric CT and MR images have been used now for some time in conjunction with stereotactic frames, to guide many neurosurgical procedures. With the development of systems that permit surgical instruments to be tracked in space, ...
متن کاملCurrent status and future directions of anti-angiogenic therapy for gliomas.
Molecular targets for the pathological vasculature are the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor axis, integrins, angiopoietins, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), as well as several intracellular or downstream effectors like protein kinase C beta and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Besides hypoxic damage or tumor cell starvation, preclinical models imp...
