Vagus rules still apply.
VNS has been proposed for treatment-resistant depression. A single, randomized controlled trial found no significant difference between real and sham VNS after 10 weeks. However, open studies suggest that prolonged treatment may be beneficial. Similar to other investigational neuromodulation techniques [e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS)], interpretation ...
متن کاملImaging tumour response: beyond RECIST
One of the most widely employed quantitative measurements for assessing tumour response to treatment is the tumour diameter (RECIST criteria), usually determined on cross-sectional CT or MRI. This simple measurement is relatively reproducible and reduction in the maximum tumour diameter by 30% or more following therapy is taken as a sign of effective treatment. However, new targeted therapies m...
متن کاملCT Imaging Findings after Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Liver Tumors
Purpose. To study radiological response to stereotactic radiotherapy for focal liver tumors. Materials and Methods. In this IRB-approved, HIPAA-compliant study CTs of 68 consecutive patients who underwent stereotactic radiotherapy for liver tumors between 01/2006 and 01/2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Two independent reviewers evaluated lesion volume and enhancement pattern of the lesion an...
متن کاملPulmonary Function after Adenotonsillectomy
Introduction Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common disorder among children which, without proper treatment, may lead to considerable problems. Although the consequences of this disorder have been studied in other articles, we decided to evaluate the changes in pulmonary function tests in these children after adenotonsillectomy, and the correlation between clinical and spirometric parameters. ...
متن کاملImaging beyond RECIST: CT and MRI in molecular therapies
Until recently, almost all systemic antineoplastic therapies in cancer patients aimed at destruction of tumor cells, i.e. they were cytotoxic. The effect of therapy was assessed by measuring the tumor size with a decrease in size suggesting response to therapy and an increase suggesting progression. Modern molecular therapies, however, are mostly not cytotoxic but aim to reduce tumor perfusion ...
