Case Scenario for CNS-Brain Cancer
This is a case of a 45-year-old female, smoker, non-diabetic,
non-hypertensive who was having on and off headache for 5 months
prior to consult (April, 2015), this is associated with nausea and
vomiting. The headache was becoming recurrent until August of
2015
she decided to consult her doctor. Aside from nausea and vomiting,
symptoms include weakness of the left side of the body and numbness
and tingling sensation. Apparently, complete neurological
examination was done and it was unremarkable. A CT scan was
done on Sept 30, 2015 with the following findings:
A contrast-enhanced brain MRI demonstrated a 3 × 3 cm right
fronto-parietal resection cavity surrounded by a 5 × 4 cm area of
heterogeneous contrast enhancement extending to the right corona
radiata and periventricular white matter with associated
cerebral edema. The mass was not technically resectable due to
location and biopsy was consistent with GBM (Glioblastoma
multiforme), wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase and unmethylated
O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT),
with an MIB-1 index of 50%.
T1-weighted brain MRI with contrast at the time of diagnosis of radiation-induced glioblastoma multiforme.
Radiation-induced glioblastoma multiforme demonstrating
increased cellularity with marked nuclear atypia, necrosis, and
vascular endothelialization.
On January 25th of 2016, the patient underwent surgical therapy,
including fronto-parietal craniotomy, with total resection of the
tumor. On February 7th of 2016, a histopathology examination,
confirmed a diagnosis of the GBM IV stage.
In February 2017, approximately 13 months after her brain tumor
surgery, PatientCarlota had a follow-up diagnostic work-up, no
brain tumor recurrence was found. Due to the absence of tumor, no
radiotherapy was considered, and “watchful waiting” was recommended
including brain imaging studies (CT or MRI) to be repeated every 3
months. Due to the lack of the patient's consent, no chemotherapy
was implemented. During the irradiation period, Patient Carlota had
the first seizure episode, and was started on antiepileptic therapy
(Depakine 200 mg a day). she continued this therapy for the rest of
her life. After the radiotherapy, diagnostic follow-up examinations
were conducted every 3 months.
At the beginning of March 2018, tumor recurrence was found, and
the tumor was localized in an upper part of the tumor bed, within
the previously irradiated area (its size was 3.7 cm × 2.6 cm × 2.3
cm). Surprisingly, Patient Carlota had not experienced any
symptoms, and her physical and neurological examinations were
unremarkable.
On March 13th of 2019, stereotactic radiotherapy was done, using
a single dose of 8 Gy applied to the area of recurrent tumor was
performed. Unfortunately, on follow up examination, on July 6th of
2018, further progression of the GBM was found, due to the
tumor expansion, resulting in cerebral edema, herniation, and
multi-organ failure.

SuperSportsGames is a famous sport competition, held in Riyadh every year. Since its first edition in 2001, it has gone through several major changes regarding its structure, length and location, but the tickets have always been sold in a traditional way: through two events agencies. The organizers decided to completely modernize the tickets selling system and created the following concept. From this year on, the tickets will be sold in three distinct ways: traditionally, i.e. by the two events agencies, in electronic format directly on the competition website, and through SuperAirLines. All parties will have access to the same unique tickets database of the new system, to avoid double selling. A partnership with the SuperAirLines company needs to be set up, such that SuperAirLines can sell combi-tickets including both the competition admission fee and the flight travel to the competition venue at reduced price, from anywhere in Saudi Arabia. This way, more sport fans would have easier and cheaper access to SuperSportsGames. Moreover, the system will have to be extended to support not only Arabic, but also English. Since tickets will also be sold online, SuperSecurePayment will be contracted to provide and ensure the security of the online payment service. The SuperSportsGames event manager will take care and negotiate all these details with the involved parties. Additionally, upon arrival at the competition venue, each participant has to self-check in at a touch screen terminal, which scans the barcodes on his/her ticket and issues a bracelet with an electronic chip. This bracelet can be used to load money, such that whenever (s)he wants to purchase snacks or beverages, (s)he does not have to use cash any more, thus reducing waiting times. This measure was initiated by the program manager and will be deployed by SuperRestaurants Inc. Lastly, the way the payment transactions are performed has to be audited by an external company at the end of the competition, since this is a public event, where the municipality of Riyadh is also involved - allowing free use of the public space.
