In this preliminary study twenty-nine malignant glioma patients after surgery were treated using Cis-platin (CDDP) combined with etoposide (VP16). Superfractionated radiation therapy comes into chemotherapy. The time to tumor progression in GBM patients is encouraging result to continue in this treatment.

Background: The known and established benefits of exercise in patients with heart failure (HF) are often hampered by low exercise adherence. Mobile health (mHealth) technology provides opportunities to overcome barriers to exercise adherence in this population.
Objective: This systematic review builds on prior research to (1) describe study characteristics of mHealth interventions for exercise adherence in HF including details of sample demographics, sample sizes, exercise programs, and theoretical frameworks; (2) summarize types of mHealth technology used to improve exercise adherence in patients with HF; (3) highlight how the term "adherence" was defined and how it was measured across mHealth studies and adherence achieved; and (4) highlight the effect of age, sex, race, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, and HF etiology (systolic vs diastolic) on exercise adherence.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is associated with sleep disturbances. Moreover, individuals with sleep disturbances have been reported to have a higher risk for developing AD. The measurement of sleep behavior therefore opens the opportunity for a potential digital biomarker of AD.

Background: Spectral power of slow rhythms in resting-state EEG increases along Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. Besides, recent studies have revealed 1) the importance of analyzing the aperiodic component of an EEG power spectrum and 2) the intrusions of sleep-like slow waves identifiable in wake EEG of animals and young adults. Importantly, the occurrence of these wake slow waves is known i) to increase after sleep deprivation, ii) to be associated with markers of sleepiness, and iii) to predict behavioral errors at different tasks.

Background: Detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) biological hallmarks before clinical symptoms emerge is now possible with available blood-based biomarkers. However, the rate of cognitive decline varies among individuals at risk of AD, and accurate prognostic blood-based biomarkers are lacking. Our goal is to identify plasma proteins predictive of fast cognitive decline in asymptomatic individuals at risk of AD.
