“…Many severe complications involving the central nervous system are described in pediatric patients during chemotherapy or after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, such as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, cerebrovascular disorders, central nervous system infections, and drug-induced or metabolic encephalopathies. [1][2][3][4][5] Frequently, these complications occur as emergencies requiring an immediate diagnosis and a coherent intervention to avoid severe clinical consequences, or even death.…”

We retrospectively checked patients who underwent chemotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from 2007 to 2016, in order to evaluate whether early computed tomography is useful in children treated for cancer with acute central nervous system complications. Out of a total sample of 443 patients, 52 children (11.7%) presented these complications. In the end, 31 patients were included, with a total of 33 events of central nervous system complications. The computed tomography was abnormal in 22 events (67%) and diagnostic for a specific complication in 20 events (61%), whereas it directly influenced the treatment in 16 events (48%). Computed tomography should be still considered a relevant diagnostic tool in the management of acute central nervous system complications in the emergency setting.

Background: Phytochemicals are a significant piece of conventional prescription and have been researched in detail for conceivable consideration in current drug discovery. Medications and plants are firmly identified for traditional prescriptions and ethnomedicines that are basically arranged from plants. Recognizing the medical advantages of phytochemicals is of fundamental advancement in medication and useful sustenance improvement. Secondary metabolites of different plants have been customarily used for the improvement of human wellbeing. The phytochemicals are diets rich, which can upgrade neuroplasticity and protection from neurodegeneration. Results: Phytochemicals keep on entering clinical preliminaries or provide leads for the synthesis of medicinal agents. Phytochemicals are a great extent cancer prevention agents in nature at lower concentrations and under favorable cell conditions that adequately avoid the oxidation of different molecules that have an ability to produce free radicals and thus protect the body. Conclusion: The purpose of this review is to describe the use of phytochemicals against cancer and Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
