the current study was performed with the aim of investigating the diagnostic utility of bender-gestalt test-ii (bdt-ii) in two groups of patients with major depression and brain-damage, and to compare them with normal individuals. this was a causal-comparative study. major depressive patients (n=30), brain-damaged patients (n=30) and normal subjects (n=30) were compared using bdt-ii in copying,...

BACKGROUND Young age at diagnosis and treatment with cranial radiation therapy are well studied risk factors for cognitive impairment in pediatric brain tumor survivors. Other risk factors are hydrocephalus, surgery complications, and treatment with intrathecal chemotherapy. Female gender vulnerability to cognitive sequelae after cancer treatment has been evident in some studies, but no earlier...

Abstract Despite initial control by chemotherapy, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) quickly acquires resistance and metastasizes to distal organs, including the brain. Median survival following diagnosis of TNBC brain metastases is a meager 7.3 months—indicative substantial unmet clinical need, with only small subpopulation responding checkpoint immunotherapy. As suboptimal antigen presentat...

Introduction While leukemias are the most common type of malignancy to afflict the pediatric population, brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in this age group. Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, accounting for 20% of all pediatric brain tumors. It is categorized as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the cerebellum. While mortality within the first ...

Brain tumors are life-threatening for adults and children. However, accurate timely detection can save lives. This study focuses on three different types of brain tumors: Glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumors. Many studies describe the analysis classification tumors, but few have looked at problem feature engineering. Methods needed to overcome drawbacks manual diagnosis conventional feature-eng...

Demyelinating pseudotumor is a rare inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that has a similar clinical presentation and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging findings as brain tumors or abscesses. Unlike brain tumors, demyelinating pseudotumors respond well to steroid hormones. There are only a few reported cases of intracranial de...

Primary malignant brain tumors account for 2 percent of all cancers in U.S. adults. The most common malignant brain tumor is glioblastoma multiforme, and patients with this type of tumor have a poor prognosis. Previous exposure to high-dose ionizing radiation is the only proven environmental risk factor for a brain tumor. Primary brain tumors are classified based on their cellular origin and hi...

Cognitive impairment is the most common neurologic problem associated with brain tumors and is present in many people with brain tumors from the time of diagnosis. Treatment of primary brain tumors with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and adjunctive medications such as corticosteroids results in further adverse effects on cognitive function. To plan the best care for patients with brain tumor...

Brain tumors vary widely in size and form, making detection diagnosis difficult. This study's main aim is to identify abnormal brain images., classify them from normal images, then segment the tumor areas categorised images. In this study, we offer a technique based on Nave Bayesian classification approach that can efficiently tumors. Noises are identified filtered out during preprocessing phas...

Abstract BACKGROUND Differentiating neoplastic and non-neoplastic brain lesions is essential to make management recommendations convey prognosis, but the distinction between tumors their mimics in practice may prove challenging. The aim of this study provide incidence tumor neuro-oncology setting describe patient subset. METHODS Retrospective adult patients referred Division Neuro-oncology for ...
