Stroke like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome a case series of three patients (P6.179)
Conclusions:Our patients represent the first case series of SMART syndrome in a single institution. Our cases share similarities to the prior reports in the literature and highlights the clinical and MRI triad of acute onset headaches, neurological deficits and MRI findings of transient contrast enhancement of the cortex with white matter sparing in a previous radiation field.Disclosure: Dr. rauf has nothing to disclose.

NAMPT as a Dedifferentiation-Inducer Gene: NAD+ as Core Axis for Glioma Cancer Stem-Like Cells Maintenance
Conclusion and Perspectives Gliomas are the most prevalent primary brain cancer in adults and include a broad category of tumors including astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and GBM. Regardless of tumor aggressiveness, malignancy, and infiltration, these glia-derived tumors rarely exceed a median survival time of 12–14 months. Driven by the infiltrative nature of these tumors, the clinical approach is difficult and relapses often occur with fatal consequences. These unsuccessful attempts to control glioma's fate have fostered research looking for more effective therapies. (GSCs) are a small subset of CD133&#...

A review on the neuroprotective effect of berberine against chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment
Curr Drug Targets. 2022 Mar 3. doi: 10.2174/1389450123666220303094752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChemobrain is one of the major side effects of chemotherapy, despite increased research, the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced cognitive changes remain unknown. Though, several possibly important candidate mechanisms have been identified and will be studied further in the future. Chemobrain is characterized by memory loss, cognitive impairment, difficulty in language, concentration, acceleration, and learning. The major characteristic of chemobrain is oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulatio...
