Nerve Inflammation - HOME   Nerve Inflammation Cancer and Inflammation Chronic inflammation predisposes to some forms of cancer and the host response to malignant disease shows several parallels with inflammation and wound healing. The cells involved in inflammation are detected in a range of common cancers, together with the inflammatory cytokines and members of the chemokine ligand/receptor systems. Neutralization or deletion of the gene for some inflammatory cytokines confers resistance to tumour induction and experimental metastasis. Over-expression of such cytokines in tumour cells may enhance malignant potential. Certain chemokines are likely to subvert antitumour immunity ...

Brain Disease Eye Muscle - HOME   Brain Disease Eye Muscle Injured Brains of Medical Minds: Views from Within by Narinder Kapur, This book provides a unique perspective on what it is like to be brain damaged, seen through the eyes of doctors and neuroscientists who have themselves suffered a brain injury or brain illness. It brings together more than 50 personal stories written over 120 years. Each article in its own right represents a fascinating insight into the effects of brain damage on the individual, covering areas that are often neglected in neurology and neuropsychology textbooks. Each of the personal accounts is accompanied by a Commentary that puts the papers into the context of our current theory and clinical practice. There are sections covering memory disorders, language disorders, visual disorders, Parkinson's disease, brain tumour, stroke, head injury, and epilepsy. An introduction to each of these sections provides background information for the non-specialist reader. An Overview chapter attempts to integrate the lessons to be learned across the various sections. Injured ...

Brain Disease Neurological Therapy Tumor - HOME   Brain Disease Neurological Therapy Tumor The Pathological Protein by Philip Yam, In 1996, British doctors were horrified to discover that mad cow disease (BSE), an affliction that had been plaguing British cattle for ten years, had jumped the species barrier and was appearing in humans as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Not unlike the mad cows, victims of vCJD suffer from a degenerative neurological disease that peppers the brain with microscopic holes, causing dementia, loss of motor control, and certain death. What alarms researchers and public health officials worldwide is that the ...
