At a time when medical imaging technology is rapidly advancing, one of the oldest materials, platinum iridium marker bands, still stands out as the gold standard in medical imaging. While more modern alternatives have been developed over recent years that offer cheaper and lighter solutions, few can match this classic material's reliability and durability. For anyone requiring precise results ...
Doctors and nurses have long relied on tried-and-true medical technologies to care for their patients, but the ever-increasing focus on patient safety has made innovation in this field a priority. One growing technology is the use of marker bands, which are platform agnostic data capture tools (e.g., barcodes or RFID) used to monitor patient conditions accurately and efficiently. Through its ...
Brain tumors can be broadly categorized into primary and secondary (or metastatic) tumors. Primary tumors originate in the brain1, while secondary tumors spread from other body parts. Treatment options traditionally include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, these approaches can be invasive and have severe side effects. The battle against brain tumors is being ...
PC is highly resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy due to its systemic aggressive nature, complex mutational environment, and desmoplastic stroma. ...
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both men and women but is more common in women. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast, including the tubes that carry milk to the nipple or the lobules that produce milk. The exact cause of breast cancer is not completely understood, but factors such as genetics, hormone situations, ...
Targeting of triple negative breast cancer cells by disulfiram Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) refers to breast cancer that is negative for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2), which can only be treated clinically with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Robinson et al. used a high-throughput screening method to ...
At present, the main therapeutic methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted therapy, etc. The development and marketing of new drugs have far-reaching significance in improving the survival of breast cancer patients and changing the pattern of breast cancer treatment. ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old female recently diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer presented with acute new onset of lower back pain. The patient was taking chemotherapy, participating in a drug therapy trial, and had received radiation therapy. There was no history of acute trauma to the pelvic or acetabular region. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral fragility fractures, with ...
Most importantly, some of the tumor samples were further stratified into two major groups based on their response to radiotherapy, and we were able to predict the response of these patients to radiotherapy from their expression profiles. ...
In order to improve the outcome of adoptive T cell therapy, patients often require prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy-induced myeloablative therapy. This conditioning regimen may improve the proliferation and durable viability of adoptive T cells in vivo by balancing cytokine production in vivo and removing some immunosuppressive cells (such as regulatory T cells and ...
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...
As countries worldwide start relaxing rules and lifting coronavirus restrictions, including wearing face masks in public, people with a weakened immune system may still need to protect themselves against airborne viruses and benefit from cleaner, purified air. ...
More and more scientific evidence shows that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species are important mediators of signaling events in cells, especially the superoxide anion in reactive oxygen species. If the content of superoxide anion in the human body is too high, it may induce various diseases, including pro-inflammatory diseases (pro-inflammatory diseases), cardiovascular ...
Immunotherapy, in addition to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, has now become the fourth pillar of anticancer treatment, with T cell-based immunotherapy being a successful cancer treatment technique. ...
Regarding these findings, Giedre Krenciute, co-corresponding author of the paper, said that CAR-T treatment is tumor-specific and may be more effective and safe than conventional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This study shows that knocking out the DNMT3A gene of CAR-T cells will indeed be more effective regardless of the tumor type or antigen targeted. ...
Historically, treatments for neuroblastoma have been chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, but patients frequently relapse in the form of chemo resistant disease. ...
Some substances can easily interact with the oxygen in the air when exposed to the air, causing chemical changes in the substance. This is the process of oxidation. Sun exposure, air pollution, radiation, etc. will cause the human skin to produce a large amount of superoxide free radicals, and its strong oxidizing ability will accelerate the speed of skin oxidation, and may even cause serious ...
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. Although immunotherapy specialists devised ingenious ways to use the patients’ own immune system to better ...
The EnviroTower system allowed operator to cycle up the water system saving over 12% water and eliminated need of hazardous chemicals by over 92%. Michael E. DeBakey veterans Affairs Medical Center (MEDVAMC) is a care facility affiliated with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in the Texas Medical Center m Houston, Texas. United States. It is operated by the United States ...
Purpose To present the acceptance and the commissioning, to define the reference dose, and to prepare the reference data for a quality assessment (QA) program of an ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) electron device in order to validate it for preclinical animal FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH RT) experiments and for FLASH RT clinical human protocols. ...
