The general HRQOL of glioma patients is similar to that of patients with NSCLC. However, they suffer from a number of condition-specific neurologic and neuropsychologic problems that have a significant impact on their daily lives in the postsurgical period, before treatment with radiotherapy.
We hypothesize that the morphological variability of the cerebral vascular system is related to the peripheral resistance of the major cerebral arteries and, consequently, to flow patterns, both of which are hemodynamic factors. We suggest that hemodynamic factors predominantly determine the form and size of the cerebral vascular system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
