Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

1.9K
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.4K
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...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.8K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

273
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

263
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Summary

Aphasia affects over a quarter of brain tumor patients, with anomic aphasia being most common. Early speech-language evaluation is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Neuro-oncology

Background:

  • Aphasia, a communication disorder impacting language comprehension and production, often results from brain damage.
  • Intracranial tumors, both benign and malignant, are a frequent cause of aphasia, especially when located in language-dominant brain regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of aphasia in patients with intracranial tumors.
  • To characterize the different types of aphasia observed in this population.
  • To highlight the clinical significance and the necessity of early speech-language evaluations for patients with brain tumors.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study was conducted over one year at the Clinic of Neurosurgery, University Clinical Center Tuzla.
  • Included patients had confirmed brain tumors diagnosed via CT or MRI.
  • The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination was used for assessments prior to surgical intervention, excluding patients with pre-existing aphasia or unacquired literacy skills.

Main Results:

  • Aphasia was diagnosed in 27.5% of patients (25 individuals).
  • Anomic aphasia was the most frequent type (40%), followed by Broca's aphasia (28%).
  • Tumor locations most associated with aphasia were the left temporal lobe, parietal, and temporoparietal regions.

Conclusions:

  • Aphasia is a common clinical finding in over a quarter of patients with intracranial tumors.
  • The observed aphasia types correlate with lesion localization in dominant language areas, particularly the left temporal lobe.
  • Prompt recognition and comprehensive speech-language assessments are vital for intervention, rehabilitation planning, and improving patient outcomes.
