Abstract Accurate determination of the extent and grade adult-type diffuse gliomas is critical to patient management. In clinical practice, contrast-enhancing areas in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences are usually used target biopsy, surgery, radiation therapy, but there can be discrepancies between these actual tumor extent. Here we show that adding 18 F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine positron emission tomography (FET-PET) MRI accurately locates most malignant gliomas, potentially impacting...

The mutation in NF2 is the most common alteration associated with meningioma oncogenesis, and it related to loss of a suppressing protein called merlin. At same time, alterations energy production are visible cancer cells, where increased demands for observed. Fatty acid oxidation could be one ways cells obtain energy. This metabolic pathway uses acylcarnitine shuttle system, which responsible acylation fatty acids their transport through mitochondria. Therefore, this study aimed profile...

INTRODUCTION: Dural tenting sutures are a well-known neurosurgical technique. However, their use in preventing extradural hematomas (EDHs) lacks evidence-based support. For that reason, we deemed it necessary to evaluate this technique an evidence–based manner. METHODS: This is report of randomized, multi-center, investigator- and participant-blinded, controlled interventional non-inferiority trial with 1:1 allocation (NCT03658941). We included adults undergoing elective, supratentorial...

Abstract It is extremely challenging to perform chemical analyses of the brain, particularly in humans, due restricted access this organ. Imaging techniques are primary approach used clinical practice, but they only provide limited information about brain chemistry. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been presented recently as a biopsy tool for study animal brains. The current work demonstrates first time use SPME spatially resolved sampling human vivo. Specially designed multi-probe...

IDH1 (isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) is a potential biomarker and drug target. Genomic epigenetic data on astrocytoma have demonstrated that the mutation sufficient to establish glioma hypermethylator phenotype. Furthermore, recent studies also indicated mutant inhibitor induced demethylation of histone H3K9me3 expression genes associated with gliogenic differentiation. As presence p.R132H in gene seems be more powerful prognostic marker than O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter...

Gliomas are common brain tumours, but obtaining tissue for definitive diagnosis can be difficult. There is, therefore, interest in the use of non-invasive methods to diagnose and grade disease. Although positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorethyltyrosine (18F-FET) used differentiate between low-grade (LGG) high-grade (HGG) gliomas, optimal parameters measure their cut-points have yet established. We therefore assessed value single dual time-point acquisition 18F-FET PET primary...
