Integration is performed over a simple‚ regular background grid which does not need to conform to the geometry boundaries. Appropriate nonlinear material formulation is used. Loading is performed by displacing the parenchyma surface nodes near the craniotomy and a finite frictionless sliding contact is enforced between the skull (rigid) and parenchyma. The meshless simulation results are compared to both intraoperative MRIs and Finite Element Analysis results for multiple 2D sections. We also calculate

Many will find it interesting to learn of out-of-state medical malpractices which lead to a recently filed lawsuit against neurosurgeon Dr. Armond Levy. The doctor had scheduled 53 year old Regina Turner of St. Ann on April 4th for a “left-sided craniotomy bypass” at St. Clare Health Center in Fenton. The patient had been having multiple problems and her health began eroding by series or multiple mini-strokes and affected her speaking ability but was still able to be understood. The surgery took

Stroke What is stroke? A stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Strokes are a medical emergency and prompt treatment is essential because the sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke‚ the less damage is likely to happen. Ischemic strokes Ischaemic strokes‚ the most common type of stroke‚ occur when blood clots block the flow of blood to the brain. Blood clots typically form in areas where the arteries have been narrowed

The Doctrine of Double Effect states that it is a morally relevant difference between those bad consequences we aim and intend to bring about‚ and those that we do not intend but still foresee as a likely outcome of our actions. Under certain circumstances‚ it is morally acceptable to risk certain outcomes that would not be acceptable to intend. Though it is always wrong to kill innocents deliberately‚ this doctrine says‚ it is sometimes permissible to allow certain actions to occur understanding

The first option is surgery. Basically the surgeon would do a craniotomy‚ open the patient up depending on where the tumor was‚ and cut it out ("Craniotomy - Procedure Overview."). Another option is to have radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill tumor cells. The therapy can come from beams outside of the body (external beam radiation)
