High-grade gliomas: results in patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy alone and with adjuvant radio-chemotherapy.
BACKGROUND Despite advances in the surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic fields, the outcome for patients with high-grade gliomas remains poor. Our experience of patients treated with and without chemotherapy is reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS From April 1999 to July 2003, 30 patients with high-grade gliomas were treated: 13 received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) alone whereas 17 recei...
متن کاملSensitivity Optimization for a New Radio-Chromic Dosimeter (PRESAGE)
Introduction: Different dosimetric modalities (e.g., ionization chambers, semiconductors, TLDs, radiographic films) often have some problems determining isodose curves and percentage depth doses in high dose gradient regions. Research has been ongoing to develop portable high resolution dosimetry devices with accurate absolute dosimetry capabilities and easy data analysis. The ‘PRESAGE’ dosimet...
متن کاملSatisfiability for MTL and TPTL over Non-monotonic Data Words
In the context of real-time systems, Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) and Timed Propositional Temporal Logic (TPTL) are prominent and widely used extensions of Linear Temporal Logic. In this paper, we examine the possibility of using MTL and TPTL to specify properties about classes of non-monotonic data languages over the natural numbers. Words in this class may model the behaviour of, e.g., one-cou...
متن کاملAdjuvant radiotherapy for DCIS.
Sir—The investigators of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) (Feb 12, p 528) on breast-conserving surgery with or without radiation for treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) point out that if their finding that there is an increased rate of cancers in the contralateral breast in the surgery plus radiation group was truly radiation induced, it might well...
متن کاملA Correct Non-Monotonic ATMS
In this paper, we investigate technical methods to deal with exceptions, inconsistencies, and ambiguity. Existing reason maintenance systems are only suitable for some of these problems. Doyle's TMS handles exceptions properly, but gets in trouble with non-monotonic odd or even loops. On the other hand, de Kleer's ATMS produces too many contexts if there are exceptions of exceptions. Therefore,...
