This article is about the available procedure and treatment for brain tumor. From biopsy; the procedure of detecting a tumor, to types of surgery and advance treatment for brain tumor.

The surgeries described in this article are used in different stages of the treatment. More often one or more of these surgical procedures may be used to confirm if tumor is dangerous (known as a malignant tumor), surgery during treatment and post operative procedure to assure tumor will not reoccur. As listed in this article a surgery is required to diagnose the type of tumor by removing whole or piece of the tumor. Next removal of the whole tumor or remove as much as possible, this will possibly slow down the growth of the brain tumor and succeeding treatment, such as chemotherapy may be applied. If a tumor cannot be removed completely, surgery might be advised. Even if a small tumor is only removed this will still help in the treatment, as this will either be easier for radiotherapy or chemotherapy. It is easier to treat a smaller tumor than a bigger one. Depending on the stage and the type of the brain tumor will dictate the success of the operation. (more…)

This article is about the use of microscope assisted precision dentistry, or the use of microscope in oral health treatment. Although microscopes have been used in medicine as early as 1921, it wasn’t until the early nineties that microscopes were to be used for dental applications. Shanelec, Tibbets, Feldman Ruddle, Friedman and others were able to publish a series of papers that documented the use of microscope n endodontics, termed “microscope assisted precision dentistry (MAP dentistry). And in 1998 the American Association of Endodontics (AAE) proposed all postgraduate students should have an experience in operating and handling of a microscope, in order to qualify for a license in endodontics. In Australia where advancement is pioneered, dental laboratories have been using microscopes as early as fifteen years ago for checking filling margins and castings. Some maxillofacial surgeons and other dentist have used microscopes for apicectomies. With MAP dentistry, it is now possible to remove decayed dental tissue (caries) to its interface without affecting the normal adjacent tissue. The quality and precision that MAP dentistry has brought raised the accuracy in removing decayed tissue without unnecessarily sacrificing normal intact dentin. With this success it prevents the occurrence of secondary caries. (more…)

When shopping for a diamond, one should remember the 4 C’s – cut, color, cost and clarity. The last factor, clarity, appears to be as simple as it implies. The clearness of the diamond imparts the quality and rarity of the piece, but did you know that jewelers and manufacturers often treat the diamond to enhance its clarity before it is shown to you? With the naked eye, such imperfections like blemishes, nicks and scratches cannot be determined. Ask to look at the diamond through a jeweler’s magnifying loupe or a simple articulating microscope, which a good and self-respecting jeweler should have on hand. The magnifications of the articulating microscope should reflect the diamond’s exterior surface, and any flaws can be seen, if there are any. If the diamond is yet to be unpolished, one can study the naturals, leftovers of the rough and uncut surface of the gemstone. Articulating microscopes are widely used in jewelry making, watch and circuit board repairs and even in the creation of dental braces. It allows for the maximum intensification and viewing of delicate gemstones. Any jeweler should respect the consumer’s need to inspect and scrutinize a potential buy, because the purchase of diamonds, whether in the form of engagement rings or other pieces of jewelry are investments.
