Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

3.3K
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...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

2.9K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Vascular Spasm01:16

Vascular Spasm

2.5K
The vascular phase, also known as vasospasm, is the initial stage of hemostasis, crucial for preventing excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. After a vessel is cut, nerves in the damaged area trigger pain and other sensory impulses. Simultaneously, the smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, resulting in a vascular spasm. This contraction reduces the vessel's diameter at the injury site, slowing or stopping blood loss through the vessel wall. Vascular spasms typically last...

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

6.6K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Area of Science:

  • Spine Oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Hemangiomas are the most frequent primary tumors affecting the spine.
  • Often discovered incidentally during imaging, they are typically asymptomatic.
  • Autopsy studies reveal an 11% incidence in the spine, with multifocal lesions in 25-30% of cases.

Observation:

  • A case of vertebral cervical hemangioma with initially benign and stable features was surgically treated.
  • Post-surgical monitoring revealed aggressive behavior two months after the intervention.

Findings:

  • Surgically treated vertebral hemangiomas can exhibit unexpected aggressive behavior.
  • Benign-appearing lesions may transform or present complications post-operatively.

Implications:

  • Treatment decisions for vertebral pathology require a comprehensive understanding of the disease and adherence to clinical guidelines.
  • Algorithmic and protocolized approaches are essential for managing spinal tumors.
  • Further research into the factors influencing post-surgical hemangioma behavior is warranted.
