PURPOSE The purpose is to determine a safe weekly dose of i.v. estramustine phosphate (EMP) to combine with weekly paclitaxel and monthly carboplatin in patients with advanced prostate cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with advanced prostate cancer (castrate and noncastrate) were administered escalating doses of weekly 1-h infusion of i.v. EMP (500-1000-1500 mg/m(2)) in combination with we...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the orbit is an extremely rare tumor, which frequently manifests with nonspecific symptoms. In the case reported, the symptoms of relapsing dacryocystitis appeared before the diagnosis of orbital EMP in a 60-year-old man. Moreover, EMP of the right submandibular gland that had been excised and treated by radiotherapy preceded the orbital lesion by seven year...

In this paper, rstly, we obtain some inequalities which estimates complex polynomials on the circles.Then, we use these estimates and a Moebius transformation to obtain the dual of this estimates forthe lines in upper half-plane. Finally, for an increasing weight on the upper half-plane withcertain properties and holomorphic functions f on the upper half-plane we obtain an equivalentrepresenta...

Current evidence suggests that regenerative v. degenerative endothelial responses can be integrated in a clinical endothelial phenotype, reflecting the net result between damage from risk factors and endogenous repair capacity. We have previously shown that a cocoa flavanol (CF) intervention can improve endothelial function and increase the regenerative capacity of the endothelium by mobilising...

This document briefly describes the localized mobility problem and the current edge-based solution of IETF, the NETLMM architecture. We implemented a simplified version of NETLMM under ns2, in which, we tried to integrate the multi-homing feature with the use of SCTP/mSCTP in both data plane and control plane of NETLMM. In the control plane, we try to use mSCTP signaling between the AR and the ...

AIMS Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are complex vesicular structures shed from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells. As endurance exercise affects the endothelium, the objective of the study was to examine levels of EMP and angiogenic growth factors following different endurance exercise protocols. METHODS 12 subjects performed 3 different endurance exercise protocols: 1. High volume tr...

C-Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase that overexpressed in range of different cancer types, and has been identified as potential biomarker for imaging therapy. Previously, 68Ga-labelled peptide, [68Ga]Ga-EMP-100, shown promise c-Met renal cell carcinoma humans. Herein, we report the synthesis preliminary biological evaluation an [18F]AlF-labelled analogue, [18F]AlF-EMP-105, by positron emission ...

Model-driven development nowadays often is done using the tools from the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP). We developed a number of meta-models and transformations to support a model-driven user interface development within EMP. This paper presents our Swing and XUL meta-models and demonstrates what they can be used for. Author

This paper aims to analyse the EMP in two respects. The first is the way European security concerns led to initiatives towards the Mediterranean. I will compare the Euro-Med Partnership with the Global Mediterranean Policy adopted in the early 1970s to show that both exhibit a similar pattern, as captured by the framework suggested by Adler and Crawford. The EMP, however, has shown a recent int...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor of the larynx. Whereas more than 80 % of all EMP arise in the upper aerodigestive tract, only about 10 % of them are laryngeal.1 Since the first report on EMP of the larynx in 1913 by Wachter1, less than 100 additional cases have been described in the world literature, the subglottis and epiglottis area being the most commonly involved subsites ...
