Focal chemotherapy of brain tumours using semipermeable membranes.
Semipermeable silastic rubber membranes can be used to diffuse focally a variety of chemicals including antitumour drugs. Of the eight drugs tested, in vitro tests showed the best diffusion with dactinomycin, mithramycin, and oncovin, and the poorest diffusion with bleomycin, fluorouracil, and thiotepa. Biological testing was performed with mithramycin, dactinomycin, and oncovin using tissue cu...
متن کاملApplication of Semipermeable Membranes in Glucose Biosensing
Glucose biosensors have received significant attention in recent years due to the escalating mortality rate of diabetes mellitus. Although there is currently no cure for diabetes mellitus, individuals living with diabetes can lead a normal life by maintaining tight control of their blood glucose levels using glucose biosensors (e.g., glucometers). Current research in the field is focused on the...
متن کاملThyroid dysfunction after radiotherapy and chemotherapy of brain tumours.
We investigated thyroid function in 119 survivors of treatment for brain tumours not involving the hypothalamo-pituitary region. Cranial irradiation did not effect thyroid function but 11 of 47 children (23%) who had spinal irradiation had raised concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone. Chemotherapy further increased the incidence of thyroid dysfunction: two of four patients who had crani...
متن کاملRecent developments in the use of chemotherapy in brain tumours.
Several recent studies have further clarified the role of chemotherapy in newly diagnosed anaplastic glioma. For newly diagnosed glioblastoma, combined daily radiotherapy with daily temozolomide followed by six cycles of adjuvant temozolomide improves overall survival. This benefit is especially observed in patients with a methylated promotor of the MGMT gene which encodes an alkyltransferase; ...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Methods for Mass Transfer through Semipermeable Membranes
A discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method for the numerical solution of initial/boundary value multicompartment partial differential equation models, interconnected with interface conditions, is presented and analyzed. The study of interface problems is motivated by models of mass transfer of solutes through semipermeable membranes. More specifically, a model problem consisting of a system of semili...
