Lithium treatment prevents neurocognitive deficit resulting from cranial irradiation.
Curative cancer treatment regimens often require cranial irradiation, resulting in lifelong neurocognitive deficiency in cancer survivors. This deficiency is in part related to radiation-induced apoptosis and decreased neurogenesis in the subgranular zone of the hippocampus. We show that lithium treatment protects irradiated hippocampal neurons from apoptosis and improves cognitive performance ...

متن کاملMeningioma following cranial irradiation.
The case of a middle aged man who developed a meningioma directly underneath the site of a naevus treated with radiotherapy as a child, is presented. Epidemiological evidence and reports of similar cases suggesting meningiomas may be a sequel to irradiation, are reviewed.
متن کاملWeakening of dentin from cracks resulting from laser irradiation.
UNLABELLED Cracking of tooth structure is a frequent mechanism of clinical failure necessitating treatment. Some laser conditions, particularly those without sufficient water cooling, may cause surface cracking of dentin. Surface cracks may serve as initiation sites for the onset of catastrophic fracture under mechanical stress, resulting in failure of the dentin. In this study, the hypothesis ...
متن کاملModels support prophylactic cranial irradiation.
In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Lee et al present a rather unique and useful statistical interpretation of the waxing question of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The concept of PCI for SCLC has its origins in the comparison of the behavior of this disease with childhood leukemia, a disease that is essentially systemic in...
