Introduction: Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Viral infections are the most common cause of the condition .Encephalitis can cause flu-like symptoms, such as a fever or severe headache. It can also cause confused thinking, seizures, or problems with senses or movement. However, many cases of encephalitis result in only mild flu-like symptoms or even no symptoms. It's important to get ...

Accurate detection of rain tumor position and size is essential for early diagnosis of brain tumor. CT scan and MRI use directed intracranial cavity to produce a complete image of brain. This image is visually detected by physician for detection and diagnosis of brain tumor, however, this method is less accurate result in detecting and size of tumor. This paper is based on computer aided method...

Based on the brain tumor statistics provided by American Brain Tumor Association, the five-year survival rate for an adult who is diagnosed with malignant brain tumor is about 30 percent. It is estimated that new cases and deaths of brain tumor will reach 22020 and 13140, respectively in 2010. Early detection and diagnosis had been proven in increasing the chance of survival. Also, the medical ...

background: distinction between radiation necrosis and recurrence of intraparenchymal tumors is necessary to select the appropriate treatment, but it is often difficult based on imaging features alone. we developed an algorithm for analyzing magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) findings and studied its accuracy in differentiation between radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence. m e t hod s :  ...

Introduction: 99mTc-MIBI has been proposed for use as an imaging agent for various tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanomas and brain neoplastic lesions. Brain tumors are very common and radiotherapy being major part of treatment following surgery. After radiotherapy, deteriorating clinical status can be due to either radiation necrosis or recurrent tumor. Comput...

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor which is most commonly seen in the pleura; however it can be seen in other organs such as the meninge, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue, bone, and skin. SFT should be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors in these organs. Immunohistochemistry plays a pivotal role for the histopathologic diagnosis...

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor found in adults. GBM has limited therapeutic options. Initial sampling establishes histopathologic diagnosis, identifies prognostic biomarkers, provides an opportunity for molecular profiling. By contrast, utility of repeat profiling recurrent not well established.

background: pleurisy is a common extra pulmonary complication of tuberculosis, but current methods for diagnosing it are fairly crude. here we product a meta-analysis for the available evidence on the ability of tumor necrosis factor-? (tnf-?) in pleural fluid to serve as a diagnostic marker of tuberculous pleurisy (tp). materials and methods: we searched the pubmed, embase, and google scholar ...

a desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a malignant tumor of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. this tumor involves serosal surfaces such as the peritoneum, pleura, and scrotum. in this case report a 28-year old male presented with a desmoplastic small round cell tumor located in the abdomen along with urological symptoms. when the diagnosis was completed, the patient’s tumor had metastasized ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. The presence of blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents diagnostic therapeutic drugs from penetrating working in GBM. In traditional surgical treatment, it difficult to completely distinguish boundary between surrounding normal tissue, resulting incomplete resection tumor. Therefore, diagnosis...
