Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive, common brain cancer known to disrupt redox biology, affecting behavior and DNA integrity. Past research remains inconclusive. To further understand this, investigation was conducted on physical training’s effects behavior, balance, genomic stability in GBMA models. Forty-seven male C57BL/6J mice, 60 days old, were divided into GBM sham groups (n = 15, n 10, ...

OBJECTIVE Observe whether a microsurgical gross total removal (GTR) of a spinal nerve sheath tumors (SNSTs) is safe and decreases the tumor recurrence. METHOD We identify 30 patients with 44 SNSTs. RESULTS We operated upon 15 males and 15 females patients; mean age 40 years. GTR was achieved in 29 (96.6%) instances. Surgical mortality was 3.3% and the recurrence rate was 3.3%. The median fo...

When a guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane is placed in an interproximal area, adjustment of the membrane is difficult because of the complex anatomy of the root surface and presence of bone defects, thus prolonging the surgery. This report describes the clinical application of cone beam computed tomography (CT) images to aid insertion of a barrier membrane in the treatment of interproxim...

The world of dentistry knows the benefits and results guided bone regeneration. One most successful techniques introduced a decade ago utilizes, as barrier membrane, sheet made collagenated xenograft called lamina. Indications applications with different surgical have been well described by several authors. This technique not only presents very low degree complications, but also has some added ...

OBJECTIVE High dose fluorescein sodium has been utilized for fluorescence-guided tumor resection with conflicting reports on the efficacy of this procedure. The aim of this study was to reevaluate the utility and clinical limitations of using fluorescein sodium for the treatment and resection of glioma brain tumors. METHODS Patients diagnosed with glioma were divided into two groups with a to...

BACKGROUND Intraoperative neurophysiology, high magnification microscopes, and ultrasonic aspirators are considered essential aid for the safe resection of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs). Most centers in developing countries such as Pakistan still lack these facilities. The purpose of this study was to review the management of IMSCTs at our hospital and to determine factors associat...

The concept of GTR and incorporation of GTR membranes in clinical practice has changed significantly the outlook for periodontal regeneration. Different types of membranes to cover periodontal defects are used for regeneration. A membrane should be biocompatible, enable cell exclusion, maintain space, ensure tissue integration and ease to use with biological activity for future generation membr...

Abstract Myxopapillary ependymomas (MPEs) are recently reclassified WHO grade II tumors that usually affect the sacral spinal cord. MPEs have a high recurrence rate, especially if gross total resection (GTR) is not achieved. Recurrence tends to be local, but distant CNS metastases uncommon. Rarely, can metastasize extraneural locations, including lungs. Patient outcomes worse with recurrence, a...

The utilization of post-consumer car tires is an essential issue from ecological and economic point view. One the simplest least harmful methods their material recycling resulting in ground tire rubber (GTR), which can be further applied as fillers for polymer-based composites. Nevertheless, insufficient interfacial interactions implicate necessity GTR modification before introduction into poly...

Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA)/Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) blends using Dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a crosslinking agent were prepared with the following aims: propose new route to recycle wastes rubber from automotive industry and improve toughness impact strength of inherently brittle bio-based PLA. The GTR subjected two types grinding process (cryo- dry ambient grinding). Swelling measurements revealed...
