BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) improves overall survival (OS) of breast cancer patients after breast conserving surgery and after mastectomy in patients with involved lymph nodes (LN). The contribution of RT to the regional LN to this survival benefit was poorly understood. Recently, the results of three large randomized trials addressing this question have become available. MATERIAL AND METHOD...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to optimize a protocol for radioguided biopsy of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) in patients with melanoma. The protocol was based on a combination of ex vivo counting of the nodes detected intraoperatively and analysis of the harvested nodes by hematoxylin and eosin staining plus immunohistochemistry (conventional histopathology [PATH]) and by molecular biolo...

Perovskite-type Ba0.9Sr0.1Ti0.9Sn0.1O3(BSTSn) ceramic was synthesized by the sol-gel method. The P-E hysteresis loops were recorded at different temperatures to investigate ferroelectric and energy storage properties of BSTSn ceramic. Enhanced recoverable density high efficiency found be 58.08 ​mJ/cm3 84.36%, respectively room temperature (RT) under a moderate applied electric field 20 ​kV/cm. ...

PURPOSE To study the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy (RT) with concomitant and subsequent temozolomide in comparison to RT alone in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) after brain surgical intervention. METHODS Twenty patients received cranial fractionated RT (60 Gy total dose: 2 Gy/day, 5 days/week, for 6 weeks) with concomitant oral temozolomide ...

BACKGROUND Both organ-preserving concurrent (chemo)radiotherapy ((C)RT) and organ-sacrificing surgery (total laryngectomy) are used for treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer. The purpose of this study was to present the assessment of our treatment protocol for T3 (C)RT and T4 disease (total laryngectomy + postoperative RT). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in 182 consecutive...

PURPOSE This paper aimed to investigate motor proficiency in fine and gross motor function, with a focus on reaction time (RT) and movement skill, in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) compared to healthy controls (HC). METHODS A total of 60 individuals (20 CFS, 20 FM, and 20 HC), age 19-49 years, participated in this study. Gross motor function in the lower ex...

Diarrhea is a complex syndrome causing colossal economic losses. The objective of the current study was to diagnose Enter-pathogens in children, calves, and broiler chickens by serological molecular diagnosis Rotavirus, evaluate Escherichia coli (E. coli) Salmonella spp. with bacteriological examination beside conventional Cryptosporidium addition studying risk factors affecting these pathogens...
