 A Simplified Overview of the Current Non-Surgical Treatment of Brain Tumor Patients with Special Emphasis on Its Complications. A Much Needed Contemporary Review Especially for Neurosurgeons

Abstract
Brain tumors are complex entities with facts as numerous as stars in our sky, uncountable. They exist and thus every treating physician and surgeon happens to come across it. We try to put major contemporary practices and facts in a single bucket from learned skills of neurology and oncology tradition and things we received as feedback from our patients in clinical settings. Purpose of this work is to refresh your knowledge and preparedness for seeing patients with brain cancer. Brain tumors are molecularly heterogeneous and their features depend upon size, site, and genetic make-up of tumor, aggressive growth, and adjacent structures. Complications and their management are very challenging. This article will comfortably sail you through various aspects of management of brain cancers.

Keywords: Brain tumor, Glioblastoma, Non surgical therapy, Complications Running 

Introduction
Brain Tumors are diverse special neoplasm’s, distinct from other tumors of human body, due to their cellular origin, complexity, blood-brain barrier, confinement within sphere of skull and potential to encroach and damage important structures of brain. The presentation of brain tumor may be silent, subtle or bizarre. It is of prime importance for Neurologist, Neuro Surgeons and Oncologist to be prepared to tackle these effects in patients. This is a concise plain review for above health care providers who are involved in management of CNS (Central Nervous System) Neoplasm’s. From last two centuries, surgical removal of brain tumor was primary intervention, and so it is today. Surgery alone does not always suffice tumors of brain with malignant nature, because its neo plastic activities continue beyond excision. The very special character of brain neoplasm is recurrence and this led to development of other modalities of treatment: radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy etc. There are special issues with each therapy. Here we delineate the adverse effects and long-term complications of non-surgical therapies. To understand this, we should follow classification of brain tumors.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
