AP - Scientists have mapped the cascade of genetic changes that turn normal cells in the Brain and pancreas into two of the most lethal cancers. The result points to a new approach for fighting tumors and maybe even catching them sooner. Genes blamed for one person's Brain tumor were different from the culprits for the next patient, making the puzzle of cancer genetics even more complicated. ...

A jury recently awarded a North Philadelphia woman $11.2 million for damages incurred after ER physicians from Temple University Health System Hospitals failed to order a CT scan when she arrived at the emergency room showing symptoms of a Brain tumor. In March 2004, 20-year-old Yanira Montanez was admitted into the ER at Philadelphia's Episcopal Hospital complaining of nausea, vomiting, headaches, and numbness in her face, arms and legs. Doctors there released her after treating her with nausea medication. The next day, she went to Northeastern Hospital with similar symptoms, and after being treated with medication for gastrointestinal discomfort, was released again. The day after that, the same symptoms sent her back to the ER a third time, and a third time, after the doctor treating her had decided that the likelihood of a Brain tumor was "very, very low," she was released without a CT scan. The following day, Montanez passed out and fell down the stairs at home, allegedly as a result of the Brain tumor that could have been treated, her lawsuit alleged, if on any of the previous days, the CT had been performed. She was subsequently treated at Temple University. Montanez's attorney, Kenneth M. Rothweiler, has argued that the negligence on the part of ER doctors is connected to his client's Medicaid coverage. "People on Medicaid don't get the same treatment in the emergency room as people with private insurance," he said, alleging ... Source: www.medicinenet.com --- 12 hours ago

clipped by: JohnWaterman Clip Source: www.technologyreview.com New imaging technologies reveal the intricate architecture of the Brain, creating a blueprint of its connectivity. Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) is one of these twists. It uses magnetic resonance signals to track the movement of water molecules in the Brain: water diffuses along the length of neural wires, called axons. Scientists can use these diffusion measurements to map the wires, creating a detailed blueprint of the Brain's connectivity.

Clip Source: www.technologyreview.com The marmoset Brain, shown above, is about the size of a plum. By scanning a dissected Brain for 24 hours, scientists were able to generate a map with a spatial resolution of 400 microns. "The image quality and resolution are much higher than we can obtain in a living subject," says Wedeen.
