An Insight into Brain Tumour Surgery

Brain tumours are often treated with surgery. Brain tumour surgery is done only if the tumour is located in an accessible place for operation. Through the surgery, the surgeon removes part of the brain tumour as much as possible. There are many cases where tumours are small, they are easy to remove completely from surrounding brain tissues. Complete surgical removal is possible only in such cases. But in other cases, if tumours are located near sensitive areas in the brain, then removing it through surgery is risky. In such a situation the doctor may remove the possible part and treat the rest with nuclear medicine.

Even removing a small part of the tumour helps to reduce the symptoms of the brain tumour. Surgery does carry some risk such as infection and internal bleeding. Also, a surgery performed to remove a brain tumour located near eye nerves may carry a risk of vision loss.

Minimally Invasive Scarless Brain Tumour Surgery 

This is also called awake brain surgery. The procedure is offered at very few hospitals in the country. People who are not eligible for traditional surgery can get help with this. It involves minimum risks of serious complications. People who undergo brain tumour surgery through these advanced techniques get reduced hospital stays and shorter recovery times. The mortality rate is lower in this approach.

Whatever be the surgical approach the doctors used; the patients have to go under nuclear medicine for a while post the surgery. This is done to reduce the chances of recurrence. They are also used for diagnosis purposes such as brain imaging.

Bone Marrow Cancer: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

The sponge-like substance inside your bones is called marrow. Cells, which can grow into red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), or platelets, are found deep inside the marrow. The improper growth of cells in the marrow is known as bone marrow cancer . It is often known as blood cancer and it is not the same as bone cancer. Cancers that spread to bones and bone marrow aren't considered bone cancers.  Cancer that begins in the bone marrow is called Primary Bone Cancer . Cancer that spreads to the bone from another part of the body is called Secondary Bone Cancer . Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer .  Cancerous cells develop in the bone marrow and crowd out the healthy blood cells. This can cause a decrease in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood. A decrease in these blood cells can lead to fatigue, increased infections, and easy bleeding. Treatment for bone marrow cancer often involves surgery, chemot...

Everything About Gallstones

The gallbladder is a tiny, pear-shaped organ located on the right side of the belly, directly below the liver. It stores bile, a digestive fluid discharged in the small intestine to break down lipids into fatty acids. Gallbladder stones are formed by the hardening of digestive fluid deposits in the gallbladder. Their sizes range from as little as grain to as large as a golf ball. Some people may just have one stone, while others may have multiple stones at the same time. The only way to treat this is to have your gallbladder removed through laparoscopic surgery. What are the symptoms of Gallstones? Gallstones can cause a variety of symptoms in a person. It's not necessary that every patient experience the same symptoms of gallstone.   ●       Some people may have no symptoms for weeks or months as a result of gallstones. ●       Mild symptoms such as stomach pain after meals or heartburn may occur in some persons ● ...

When Doctors Prescribe Bone Marrow Transplant?

Bone marrow transplant is the new advancement of nuclear medicine technology . Bone marrow is a soft sponge-type blood cell that produces other blood cells and stores. A transplant is done when the bone marrow gets damaged due to diseases or any physical condition.  Best bone marrow transplant hospital prescribes this to treat several diseases which include:  Leukemia: prominently known as blood cancer where the blood cell starts dying and no regeneration occurs. Lymphoma: A type of cancer that occurs in the immune system called the lymph nodes.  Acute lymphocytic leukemia: A type of cancer that causes bone marrow to makes defective blood cells. It’s the most common cancer in children, and rare in adults. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A kind of blood cancer that affects white blood cells occurs most in older adults. Multiple myeloma: A type of blood cancer that occurs in the white blood cells and mostly treated by nuclear medicine technology . Aplas...
