Background and Objective: High-grade gliomas are characterized by rapid proliferation, angiogenesis, and invasive growth. Eradication or inhibition of infiltrating glioma cells poses a significant clinical challenge that is unlikely to be solved using conventional treatment regimens consisting of io

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of cell death by photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line. The present study evaluates the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-ALA as photosensitizer using human muscle cancer cells as experimental model. We stu
Both hyperammonemia and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown have been implicated in the evolution of hepatic encephalopathy. To define a possible relationship, Swiss Albino mice were subjected to sublethal encephalopathic doses of ammonium acetate; the integrity of the BBB was determined grossly wit
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Cerebral metastases are clinically significant in 10% to 30% of patients with neoplasia. Multiple cerebral metastases are typically treated with palliative radiotherapy. There is no consensus on the role of enhanced chemotherapy delivery as an adjuvant treatment modality
