How Proton Therapy Differs

How coaching differs from mentoring.

11 A s you progress through your nursing career, your needs may change and you may find yourself wondering about the difference between coaching and mentoring. Both coaching and mentoring involve a supportive partner who can help an individual improve personal and professional satisfaction. In both relationships, the client or person being mentored is responsible for the decisions they make and...

How force unfolding differs from chemical denaturation.

Single-molecule force spectroscopies are remarkable tools for studying protein folding and unfolding, but force unfolding explores protein configurations that are potentially very different from the ones traditionally explored in chemical or thermal denaturation. Understanding these differences is crucial because such configurations serve as starting points of folding studies, and thus can affe...

Proton Therapy of eye using MCNPX code

Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...

Proton Therapy

Consider potential of gold nanoparticles with proton therapy compared with KV and MEV X-ray therapy.

Introduction: Many study shown the effectiveness dose enhancement with gold nanoparticles (GNPs), especially with low-energy x-rays. Recently, proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) has attention as a treatment for tumors. The advantage in PBRT, which releases high dose at the controllable Bragg peak position that localized for Au target and the released dose increased in depth....
