g-Irradiation (g-RT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are known to inhibit intimal hyperplasia. The common mechanism is that both modalities produce free radicals, but unlike g-RT, PDT generates them through the absorption of light by photosensitizers. The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the differences that PDT and g-RT have on the fibroproliferative response after vascular injury b...

BACKGROUND Radiation therapy (RT) is a treatment modality traditionally used in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but little is known regarding the role and effectiveness of RT in the era of novel agents, i.e., immunomodulatory drugs and proteasome inhibitors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from 449 consecutive MM patients seen at our institute in 2010-2012 to assess indications ...

gamma-Irradiation (gamma-RT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are known to inhibit intimal hyperplasia. The common mechanism is that both modalities produce free radicals, but unlike gamma-RT, PDT generates them through the absorption of light by photosensitizers. The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the differences that PDT and gamma-RT have on the fibroproliferative response after v...

The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal local treatment modalities for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I-II small-cell carcinoma of the cervix (SCCC), including cancer-directed surgery (CDS) and/or radiotherapy (RT). The Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify SCCC patients from 1988 to 2012, and analyzed us...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance and resistance training on the activity of g4 acetyl cholinesterase in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 24 male wistar rats (age: 10 weeks and weight: 171.94±8.961 gr) were randomly divided into 3 groups (control, endurance training (et) and resistance training (rt)). et and rt groups carried out 8 weeks (5 sessions per ...

Abstract So-called respectively readings have posed serious challenges for theories of syntax and semantics. Sentences like George and Martha respectively denounced and were denounced by the governor (McCawley 1998) show that although the conjoined verbal expressions share the same syntactic subject, they do not predicate that subject in the same way; George (not Martha) denounced the governor,...

PURPOSE Although each Waldeyer's ring sub-site is considered an independent prognostic factor, few studies have assessed the prognosis and treatment of tonsillar lymphoma. Treatment outcomes were analyzed in patients with primary tonsillar lymphoma who were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were evaluate...

Previous studies in patients with arterial claudication have focused on calf hemodynamic recovery. We hypothesized that the duration of recovery TcpO2 at and non-calf levels would be shorter than 10 min. analyzed factors influence time. monitored limb changes minus chest from rest (DROP) transcutaneous oximetry buttocks, thighs calves, during following a treadmill test (3.2 km/h; 10% grade). ca...

during 2009-10, real time rt-pcr and conventional rt-pcr techniques used for detecting btvs rna in 310 blood samples. for real time and gel based rt-pcr segment-1 and segment-10 selected as conserve genes to search any btv strains. using these methods, 58 (%18.7) and 14 (%4.5) positive samples were detected among the clinically suspected sheep. sensitivity of both molecular techniques evalua...
