Surgical resection is advisable for most tumors, especially when they are small, well-differentiated, and pave tractable areas of the brain. Patients who received radiation therapy after surgery had significantly longer survival rates than those who did not receive radiation. The prognostic factors were determined by univariate and multivariate analyses. A multivariate analysis was conducted using the Cox regression model." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"In a recent study, the subjects were asked to state their ability to understand commands after several days of training. This task has been used previously in studies where patients with cochlear implants have shown good comprehension of commands. The result of this study confirms the findings of previous studies, showing that cochlear implant users can comprehend commands when they listen to these commands repeatedly. Moreover, our data suggest that even those who have never spoken before can learn to respond appropriately to commands after only a few hours of instruction." - Anonymous Online Contributor
