Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

3.5K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Veins of Head and Neck

5.8K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Cancer Staging
  • Head and Neck Cancer Research

Background:

  • The TNM staging system requires regular updates due to evolving medical knowledge and new data.
  • Emerging neoplastic diseases necessitate the development of staging systems to guide treatment and predict outcomes.
  • The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) periodically revise the staging manual.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a historical overview of the AJCC/UICC cancer staging process.
  • To highlight the key modifications implemented in the eighth edition of the AJCC staging manual.
  • To focus on the specific changes relevant to head and neck cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical AJCC/UICC staging manuals.
  • Analysis of the revisions introduced in the eighth edition.
  • Focus on changes pertaining to head and neck cancer classifications.

Main Results:

  • The eighth edition of the AJCC staging manual represents the latest iteration of cancer staging.
  • Significant changes have been incorporated into the staging of head and neck cancers.
  • These revisions aim to improve the accuracy of treatment algorithms and outcome predictions.

Conclusions:

  • Regular updates to cancer staging systems like TNM are essential for reflecting current knowledge.
  • The eighth edition of the AJCC manual brings important advancements, particularly for head and neck oncology.
  • These revisions are vital for standardizing care and advancing research in cancer treatment.
