A Numerical Model to Study Effect of Potential-Dependent Influx on Calcium Diffusion in Neuron Cells
Abstract: Electrical activity within the brain rapidly encodes information about the world but for these fleeting perceptions to have a lasting impact, long-term changes in the structure and function of neurons must follow. At the synapse, neurotransmitter reception initiates a number of biochemical signaling cascades in the postsynaptic cells, one of the most important of which is the elevation of intracellular calcium. Early events induced by the rise of calcium in …

Concurrent PTSD Psychotherapy Through Multi-Personnel Virtual Reality Framework
Abstract: Networked Virtual Environments (NEV) are sets of disjointed virtual worlds which are topographically set apart from the users yet connected through the communication network to give them the illusion of being in the same virtual location. NVEs are increasingly receiving consideration from business and research point of view. Contrasted with various sorts of possible applications, NVEs require a high responsiveness to ensure continuous streaming of live data for full immersion. …

Ganglioneuroma of Lip: A Rare Benign Tumor
Abstract: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor arising from neural crest sympathogonia, which are completely undifferentiated cells of the sympathetic nervous system. However, ganglioneuromas themselves are fully differentiated neuronal tumors that do not contain immature elements. Ganglioneuroma most frequently occurs in the abdomen, however these tumors can grow at anywhere sympathetic nervous tissue is found. It occurs in patients between 10 and 30 years of age. It is exceedingly uncommon in …

Management of Uterine Sarcomas - Current Concepts and Controversies
Abstract: Uterine sarcomas are a group of relatively rare malignancies with heterologous clinical behavior. Because of its rarity, there is dearth of randomized trials and hence there are no standard recommendations as how to manage these cases. Carcinosarcomas are now a separate entity and is managed similar to high grade endometrial carcinoma, since the sarcomatous element is proven to be of endometrial origin. Now, the major variants are leomyosarcoma (LMS), endometrial …

Case Report: A Rare Case of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
Abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) DFSP is a low grade cutaneous malignancy first described in 1890 by Taylor. Darierwas credited with establishing DFSP as a clinicopathologic entity in 1924 and HOFFMAN established the term in 1925.Clinical diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion because the lesion often has a fairly innocuous gross appearance. After biopsy or excision, expert pathological assessment with focused immunohistochemistry testing is essential to differentiate DFSP with other superficial …
