background: probiotics are microorganisms that may influence brain function via altering brain neurochemistry. new research evidence suggests that probiotic bacteria might protect tissue damage through diminishing the production of free radicals and/or inflammatory cytokines. therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of probiotic bacteria on the prevention or reduction of brain...

The clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in radiation injury of the brain are reviewed. Late radiation injury is the major, dose-limiting complication of brain irradiation and occurs in two forms, focal and diffuse, which differ significantly in clinical and radiologic features. Focal and diffuse injuries both include a wide spectrum of abnormalities, from subclinical changes detectabl...

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 The diagnosis of myocarditis is challenging due to its often subclinical or unspecific course. Yet, myocardial focal late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) patterns, which represent focal myocardial necrosis and imply negative clinical outcomes, can be assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Serologically, not only focal but also diffuse myocardial cell necrosis can be highly...

We evaluated ameliorative effects of Jamun seed and orange peel extracts on liver toxicity in cypermethrin exposed rat. Methods: Rats were given following treatments daily for 30 d: Group A: Control Group B: Rats received cypermethrin Group C: These rats received cypermethrin and Jamun seed extract simultaneously Group D: These rats received cypermethrin and orange peel extract simultaneou...

Transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was recently established as a highly effective means of inducing contact and irradiation-free intraprostatic coagulative necrosis. This technique, therefore, appears potentially useful for treating localized prostate cancer (PC). To evaluate this issue, a total of 29 human prostates with localized cancer was subjected to HIFU treatment in viv...

moebius syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the facial and abducens nerve. other cranial nerves may be involved, such as v, ix and xii. several central nervous system anomalies including hypoplastic or dysplastic brain stem, straightening of the fourth ventricle floor, focal necrosis and calcifications of cranial nerve nuclei have been reported in association with moebius syndrome, but we...
