Pituitary MRI is a method of obtaining a three-dimensional image of the pituitary gland and nearby structures: the sella turcica, funnel, optic nerve intersection and others. The study is in demand in the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors, cysts and abnormalities of the pituitary gland structure, empty sella turcica syndrome. There are two options for…
American scientists in the course of research have discovered a unique molecule capable of suppressing the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. It was named MMRi62. The results of the experiments are published in the publication Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. The uniqueness of MMRi62 is that it not only kills cancer cells and harmful proteins…
To understand what stone therapy really is one of the forms of treatment or quackery, you need to figure out what this practice is, what types of stones can claim the title of “medicine”, and then decide whether it is worth spending time and money on stone treatment. What is it Stone therapy is not…
MRI head is a non-invasive study that allows visualizing bones, soft tissues and intracranial structures by registering radiomagnetic pulses of hydrogen atom nuclei placed in an external magnetic field. Head MRI is used to study the brain and its membranes, pituitary gland, intracranial vessels, ENT organs, paranasal sinuses, orbital zone and superficially located soft tissues…
Sex hormones are a group of biologically active substances that are responsible for the formation of sexual characteristics in humans and other living beings. Accordingly, the hormones of this group are divided into female (estrogens and progestogens) and male (androgens). Each of these groups includes a fairly large number of substances. But not so long…
Scientists from Stanford University in the USA have discovered what is the cause of poor sleep in older people after 65 years. The results of the work were described in the journal Science. Experts have long known that sleep becomes more restless with age, and it is harder for old people to fall asleep, but…
Densitometry is a technique for studying the structure of bone tissue based on layer-by-layer X-ray scanning of the bone area under study with a narrow beam of radiation. With the help of CT densitometry, it is possible to obtain a spatial image of the structure of the cortical and spongy layer, as well as accurately…
CT foot is a method of radiation examination that allows to diagnose pathological changes in the anatomical structures that form the foot. It makes it possible to visualize the distal parts of the tibia and fibula; the tarsal (talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid and three wedge-shaped) and metatarsal bones; the phalanges of the fingers; the ankle…
CT scan hand – X-ray computed tomography of the bones of the distal upper limb. Allows you to examine in great detail the numerous bones of the wrist, metacarpal bones and finger bones, as well as the joints between them (carpo-metacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, interphalangeal joints). With contrast enhancement, visualization of the surrounding soft tissues of the…
CT scan of hip is an X-ray tomographic examination of the joint of the lower limb with postprocessor computer processing of images and multi-plane reconstruction of the image. The acetabulum, the proximal epiphysis with the neck and head of the femur, the iliac bone, as well as the auxiliary apparatus of the joint fall into…
