Eight years ago a 64-year-old diabetic man began having one or two minute attacks of lightheadedness, vertigo, blurred vision and occasional paresthesia in both sides of the face and the lips. Two years prior to admission, he had had one episode of vision loss in the left eye for 20 to 30 seconds. The neurological examination on admission showed normal limits. The cerebral angiograms revealed: ...

A 65 year old man developed progressive signs of pontine and medullary dysfunction with striking bilateral paralysis of lateral gaze, dysarthria, dysphagia, and ataxia. A respiratory death occurred seven months from the onset. Pathological examination revealed focal brain-stem changes of perivascular lymphocytic cuffing, microglial infiltration, glial nodules, and neuronophagia. No underlying m...

At this time, brain tumor stem cells remain a controversial hypothesis while malignant brain tumors continue to present a dire prognosis of severe morbidity and mortality. Yet, brain tumor stem cells may represent an essential cellular target for glioma therapy as they are postulated to be the tumorigenic cells responsible for recurrence. Targeting oncogenic pathways that are essential to the s...
