Alzheimer’s Drug Suppresses Cognitive Decline in Brain Tumor Patients Who Undergo Whole Brain Radiotherapy
An N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist called memantin, which is usually prescribed to Alzheimer’s disease patients, has been shown to slow cognitive decline in brain cancer patients who receive whole brain radiation therapy. More...15 Nov 2012
Neuroimaging Cannot Detect Autism by Itself
A biostatistician is warning against advocating the use of brain imaging scans to diagnose autism and emphasized more concentration on performing larger, long-term multicenter studies to identify the biologic mechanisms of the disorder. More...12 Nov 2012
Proton Therapy Room Designed to Offer Comfort, Relaxation to Patient
A new patient-centric proton therapy room has been designed to stimulate patient comfort during proton treatments by allowing patients to selectively add relaxing sound, light, and images to the treatment room environment before they initiate therapy. More...05 Nov 2012
