Figure 1 shows the longitudinal height-attained growth chart of a child who grew poorly following treatment for a medulloblastoma. Our experience, and that of others, is that children treate...
متن کاملElimination of microglia improves cognitive function following cranial irradiation
Cranial irradiation for the treatment of brain cancer elicits progressive and severe cognitive dysfunction that is associated with significant neuropathology. Radiation injury in the CNS has been linked to persistent microglial activation, and we find upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes even 6 weeks after irradiation. We hypothesize that depletion of microglia in the irradiated brain would h...

متن کاملThe effect of growth hormone therapy on mandibular and cranial base development in children treated with total body irradiation.
The aim of the present investigation was to study craniomandibular development during growth hormone (GH) therapy in nine girls and one boy, aged between 7.3 and 16 years, who exhibited pronounced growth reduction after total body irradiation (TBI) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Age- and sex-matched healthy children with normal dentofacial development constituted the control material. T...
