Melanocytic tumour of the spinal dura: case presentation and review of the literature
A 55-year-old male was operated upon a cervico-thoracic primary malignant melanoma of the dura mater. The recurrence free period of 2.5 years and the clinical course of our patient justified aggressive therapy...

Current surgical management of brain metastases
Metastatic brain tumours are among the most common surgical targets in brain surgery. Up to 40% of cancer patients develop brain metastases during the course of their disease. Lung, breast, kidney, intestine a...

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor-α, -β, c-kit, c-abl, and Arg Proteins in Glioblastoma: Possible Implications for Patient Selection for Imatinib Mesylate Therapy
Inhibition of tyrosine kinase (TK) receptors by synthetic small molecules has become a promising new therapy option in oncology. The TK inhibitor imatinib mesylate selectively targets PDGFR-α, -β, c-kit, c-abl...

Open AccessSurvival with dacarbazine and fotemustine in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme
A total of 55 patients with histologically proven glioblastoma multiforme (total gross resection: n=24, subtotal resection: n=20, stereotactic biopsy: n=11) were treated with the combination of dacarbazine (D) (2...

Anatomical landmarks for image registration in frameless stereotactic neuronavigation
Objective. Frameless stereotactic navigation devices require preoperative application of skin markers (SM) and planning radiography, which limits their even wider use. Therefore, we prospectively...

Tumour blood flow and partition coefficients: correlation with grade of cerebral gliomas using xenon-enhanced computed tomography
It is possible to underestimate the grade of nonenhancing cerebral tumours on conventional contrast-enhanced MRI or CT. Differentiation of high- and low-grade gliomas by measurement of the brain-blood partiti...

Suprasellar meningioma with expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein: a peculiar variant
A 24-year-old female presented with a 3-year history of a suprasellar and intraventricular solid midline process measuring about 3×4 cm. At surgery, this tumour was sharply delineated and of stone-like firmnes...

Hot Carbon Atoms as a Potential Source for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Amorphous hydrogenated carbon layers (a-C:H) are among the candidates for the species generating the interstellar optical features assigned to PAH’s. A mechanism for their formation is discussed, including the...

Laboratory Simulation of Chemical Interactions of Accelerated Ions with Dust and Ice Grains
Energetic ions or atoms in space may undergo hot chemical reactions upon penetration into interplanetary or interstellar dust grains, ice layers, cometary matter, and surfaces of planetary moons. The mechanist...

Handling of Astatine
Astatine, the fifth halogen and homologue of iodine, is one of the best studied radioelements. Since its discovery in 1940 by Corson, MacKenzie and Segrè [1 to 5] after more than 16 years of intensive search a...

Production, Isolation, and Purification of Astatine Isotopes
When astatine is needed for chemical or medical research, it is most conveniently produced by the bombardment of bismuth with accelerated helium ions. This reaction yields At isotopes with half-lives measured ...

Radiation Damage in Transition Metal Hexahalo Complexes: The Application of Atomic Collision Dynamics in Hot Atom Chemistry
In transition metal hexahalo complexes K2[MeX6], the chemical consequences of “hot” atom reactions can be observed in relatively simple systems. The primary recoils, generated by nuclear reactions or implanted as...

Rapid separation of carrier-free inorganic and organic compounds of radioiodine and astatine by high-pressure liquid chromatography
The radioisotopes123I (T=13.3 h) and, potentially,211At(T=7.2 h) find increasing interest for radiopharmaceutical applications in diagnosis and therapy. They were produced via the122Te(α, 3n)13Xe(α+)13I and the20...
