Understanding Brain Tumors: Key Facts for Everyone 1. What is a Brain Tumor? - An abnormal growth of cells in the brain, either primary (originating in the brain) or metastatic (spread from other body parts). 2. Types of Brain Tumors: - Benign Tumors: Non-cancerous but can still impact brain function. - Malignant Tumors: Cancerous, grow rapidly, and invade surrounding tissues. 3. Common Benign Tumors: - Meningiomas: Most common, originating from brain linings. - Schwannomas: Affect nerve insulation, can cause serious issues. 4. Common Malignant Tumors: - Glioblastomas: Highly aggressive, poor prognosis. - Astrocytomas: Vary in severity, common in adults. 5. Symptoms to Watch For: - Persistent headaches, seizures, difficulty speaking, personality changes, and vision or hearing problems. 6. Diagnosis Tools: - MRI, CT scans, and biopsies help in accurate diagnosis. 7. Treatment Options: - Surgery: Removes as much tumor as possible. - Radiation: High-energy rays to kill tumor cells. - Chemotherapy: Drugs to target and kill cancer cells. 8. New Techniques: - Laser Therapy: Targets hard-to-reach tumors with minimal invasiveness. Understanding these basics can help recognize symptoms early and seek timely medical advice. #WorldBrainTumourDay2024 #BrainHealthAndPrevention #BrainHealth #HealthyBrain #HealthForAll #HealthLiteracy #LinkedIn Femina

Direct Wave Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Spinal Tumor Resection: A Focused Review "At present, surgical resection of primary intramedullary?spinal cord tumors?is the mainstay of treatment. However, given the dimensional constraints of the narrow?spinal canal?and dense organization of the ascending and descending tracts, intramedullary spinal cord tumor resection carries a significant risk of iatrogenic neurological injury. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) and mapping techniques have been developed to evaluate the functional integrity of the essential?neural pathways?and optimize the surgical strategies."?Read More:?https://lnkd.in/gtVzjBdF

Involvement/empowerment of nurses in reviewing patient charts and engaging in shared decision-making telehealth visits that include real-time radiology scheduling creates a patient-focused process to expand access to lung cancer screening: https://nej.md/3PVgwRx

?? Today is the #worldcancerday Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death globally, fortunately it can be detected in the most common radiology exam: chest radiographs. What if outpatient radiology centers could immediately escalate an exam after a chest radiograph when a nodule is suspected? A follow-up exam or a retake could be immediately requested by the radiologist, and the patient care pathway optimised. ?? This is possible with CriticalScan, today. You're welcome for a demo at ECR 2024, later this month! ?? #worldcancerday #criticalscan #agfaradiologysolutions #lunit #lunitinsight #cxr #patientcenteredcare #radiology

We conducted this study with the aim of developing realistic and adjustable 3D human-body emulation platforms that could be used for evaluating emerging microwave-based medical monitoring/sensing applications such as the detection of brain tumors, strokes, and breast cancers, as well as for capsule endoscopy studies. #Sensors #microwavesensing https://lnkd.in/gnuY5YDr

Ultrasound contrast agents show promise for detecting and evaluating uterine disorders and prostate cancers, according to research presented at the annual Advances in Contrast Ultrasound meeting. Read more about how this research can create more efficient diagnoses: https://bit.ly/3Y6EI81
