Executive functioning profiles from the BRIEF across pediatric medical disorders: Age and diagnosis factors.
The objective of the study was to compare executive functioning (EF) profiles across several pediatric medical conditions and explore the influence of age of diagnosis and evaluation. A retrospective, cross-sectional study of 734 children aged 5 to 18 years was conducted across five medical groups (brain tumor, leukemia [ALL], epilepsy [EPI], neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF1], and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency [OTC-D]), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) controls, and matched healthy controls. We compared groups across the scales of a parent-completed Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BR...

Patient-centered care : Improvement of communication between university medical centers and general practitioners for patients in neuro-oncology.
CONCLUSION: As interdisciplinary care for neuro-oncology patients is an essential part of therapy, improvement of communication between GPs and university medical centers is indispensable. Integrating currently available electronic platforms under data protection aspects into neuro-oncological palliative care could be an interesting tool in order to establish healthcare networks and could find acceptance with GPs.

Childhood Trauma Leads To Lifelong Chronic Illness -- So Why Isn't The Medical Community Helping Patients?
When I was twelve, I was coming home from swimming at my neighbor's dock when I saw an ambulance's flashing lights in our driveway. I still remember the asphalt burning my feet as I stood, paralyzed, and watched the paramedics take away my father. It was as if I knew those flashing lights were a harbinger that my childhood was over.
At the hospital, a surgeon performed "minor" elective bowel surgery on my young dad. The surgeon made an error, and instead of my father coming home to the "welcome home" banners we'd painted, he died.
The medical care system failed my father miserably. Then the medical care system began to...

Alzheimer ’ s: How is it Diagnosed?
Today, the only definite way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is to find out whether there are plaques and tangles in brain tissue. To look at brain tissue, doctors must wait until they do an autopsy, which is an examination of the body done after a person dies. Therefore, doctors must make a diagnosis of “possible” or “probable” Alzheimer’s disease.
At specialized centers, doctors can diagnose Alzheimer’s disease correctly up to 90 percent of the time. Doctors use several tools to diagnose “probable” Alzheimer’s disease:
A complete medical history includes inform...

Epid-16. outcomes of funded neuro-oncology summer research opportunities for medical students
CONCLUSIONS:Compared to historical practice patterns, medical students who participated in neuro-oncology funded summer research opportunities are more likely to be in academia and the neuro-oncology-related fields of neurosurgery, neurology, pathology, and radiation oncology. Early funding for mentored medical student research may provide substantial ‘returns-on-investment’ in terms of future neuro-oncologic research and practice.

Prenatal and Postnatal Medical Conditions and the Risk of Brain Tumors in Children and Adolescents: An International Multicenter Case-Control Study
Conclusions: Prenatal or postnatal medical conditions, including medical diagnostic radiation, were not associated with CABTs. On the basis of small numbers of exposed children, we observed a nonsignificant increased risk for CT scans of the head.
Impact: We have presented additional evidence, suggesting that exposure to head CT scan may be associated with the occurrence of CABTs. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(1); 110–5. ©2016 AACR.

MRI brain tumor medical images analysis using deep learning techniques: a systematic review
AbstractThe substantial progress of medical imaging technology in the last decade makes it challenging for medical experts and radiologists to analyze and classify. Medical images contain massive information that can be used for diagnosis, surgical planning, training, and research. There is, therefore, a need for a technique that can automatically analyze and classify the images based on their respective contents. Deep Learning (DL) techniques have been recently used for medical image analysis, and this paper focuses on DL in the context of analyzing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain medical images. A comprehensive ov...

A tissue recovery-based brain tumor image registration method
Nan Fang Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao. 2021 Feb 25;41(2):292-298. doi: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2021.02.19.ABSTRACTWe propose an algorithm for registration between brain tumor images and normal brain images based on tissue recovery. U-Net is first used in BraTS2018 dataset to segment the brain tumors, and PConv-Net is then used to simulate the generation of missing normal tissues in the tumor region to replace the tumor region. Finally, the normal brain image is registered to the tissue recovery brain image. We evaluated the effectiveness of this method by comparing the registration results of the repaired image and the tumor ima...
