Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the available models, whether at the cellular, tissue, or animal level, do not exactly represent the biology of human brain tumors, animal models can offer significant insights into these tumors, providing a better understanding of biological mechanisms underlying tumor generation, growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Animal Models of Brain Tumors brings together developments and discoveries in “in vivo” experimental tumor research that have provided advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the generation, progression, and clinical outcome of brain neoplasms. Broken into convenient sections, this thorough volume includes topics such as animal model insights into human brain neoplasms, the cellular, molecular, and genetic basis of brain tumors, therapies in the treatment of malignant glioma, as well as imaging technologies in animal tumor models, i.e. measuring brain tumor growth and metabolism. Written for the popular Neuromethods series, chapters include the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is essential for achieving successful results. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Animal Models of Brain Tumors provides the key methods needed to validate, compare, and contrast the animal model with its proposed human counterpart and further the understanding of our own serious ailments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of My Stroke of Insight and Brain on Fire, this powerful memoir recounts Barbara Lipska's deadly brain cancer and explains its unforgettable lessons about the brain and mind. Neuroscientist Lipska was diagnosed early in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain's frontal lobe. As the cancer progressed and was treated, she experienced behavioral and cognitive symptoms connected to a range of mental disorders, including dementia and her professional specialty, schizophrenia. Lipska's family and associates were alarmed by the changes in her behavior, which she failed to acknowledge herself. Gradually, after a course of immunotherapy, Lipska returned to normal functioning, amazingly recalled her experience, and through her knowledge of neuroscience identified the ways in which her brain changed during treatment. Lipska admits her condition was unusual; after recovery she was able to return to her research and resume her athletic training and compete in a triathalon. Most patients with similar brain cancers rarely survive to describe their ordeal. Lipska's memoir, coauthored with journalist Elaine McArdle, shows that strength and courage but also an encouraging support network are vital to recovery.

Book excerpt: Everybody Needs a Brain Tumor details the experience of David Koelliker's 8+ year battle with a brain tumor and the many lessons he's learned along the way. According to the American Brain Tumor Association, nearly 80,000 people will be diagnosed with a brain tumor this year. Roughly a third of those are malignant. Every day there are families being told that their mother, father, brother, sister, or child has 3-18 months to live. Your life's 'brain tumor' may be something else. It might be an addiction, a disability, cancer, or losing a close friend or family member. The purpose of this book is to show all that even in life's most difficult challenges, we can find happiness. Through difficult times, we can learn and experience things that we would never have otherwise. It's a book about opportunity and about life, love, and hope.All proceeds will be donated to organizations dedicated to brain tumor research.

Book excerpt: How Do You Build a High Volume Medical Practice? In 2010, the University of Miami Hospital (UMH) was a newly acquired academic hospital that had seldom performed brain tumor surgeries. Yet by 2018, UMH had become the flagship hospital for one of the busiest brain tumor programs in the country. How did such rapid growth in surgical volume occur in such a short time and in such an intensely competitive market? Using the UMH experience as a case study in rapid practice growth, we aim to highlight the techniques we used to expand our practice so that other neurosurgeons and other surgical providers can follow suit. These pearls for excelling at the business of medicine are typically neglected during medical school, residency, and fellowship, but they are critical for career success. It has almost become taboo for physicians and surgeons to openly acknowledge the business side of the equation. This glaring lack is what inspired us to write this book. Despite our emphasis on the so-called "business side" of medicine, the strategies in this book are genuinely geared towards improving patient care. The ultimate goal is producing a high volume physician--such a surgeon develops a vast clinical experience that generally leads to more favorable outcomes. This book will teach you how to: Achieve superior clinical outcomes Encourage collaborations with referring physicians Expand your practice's catchment area Use social media to grow your practice Create a culture of excellence in your hospital to take better care of patients Become a leader and influencer in your hospital Prepare for a high-volume career during training Master coding and medical documentation for brain tumor surgeries Transform your program into a center of excellence Take a look at the first pages of the book by clicking on the Look Inside feature.
