Many patients with head and neck cancers receive radiation therapy as part of their treatment which frequently causes considerable morbidity, including various degrees of permanent salivary gland dysfunction. Three-dimensional treatment planning [3-DTP] and conformational dose delivery constitute a new therapeutic modality that conforms the high-dose radiation volume to the shape of the tumor v...

BACKGROUND Suggestions that immunisation influences allergic disease risk, either positively (pertussis) or negatively (BCG) are of concern for vaccination policy. AIMS To determine whether DTP, MMR, and BCG vaccination in infancy influenced hay fever risk. METHODS Case-control study of 7098 hay fever cases and controls, within two primary care databases. One control per case was matched fo...

Auditory recognition memory in non-human primates is not well understood. Monkeys have difficulty acquiring auditory memory tasks, and limited capability maintaining auditory information over memory delays, relative to studies of visual memory. Neural substrates of auditory discrimination and recognition memory depend on superior temporal gyrus (STG), instead of rhinal cortex necessary for visu...

The three main techniques for transeptal access during catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) are double puncture (DTP), single (STP), and with (STP-DA). It is unclear which these the safest most effective. To evaluate periprocedural outcomes DTP, STP, STP-DA in patients undergoing first-time paroxysmal fibrillation. Consecutive AF performed by 67 operators 43 centers were prospecti...

A modified four-dimensional linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) strategy is proposed for a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (DTP-PMSG) system to reduce cross-coupling between the d and q axis currents in d-q subspace harmonic x-y subspace. In subspace, uses model-based LADRC enhance decoupling effect axes ability against parameter variation. 5th 7th curren...

in this experiment 180 azerbaijan province native laying hens from 28 to 40 weeks were separated in 6 treatments and 3 replicates (10 birds per replicate) as a (2 × 3) factorial arrangement of treatments in a completely randomized design. treatments included two levels of dried tomato pomace (dtp) (8 and 16%) and 3 types of using methods (unprocessed, alkali and acid processed). the results sho...

The 'Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act of 2012' defines recalcitrant cancers as having a 5-year survival rate of <20% and estimated to cause the death of at least 30,000 individuals in the US each year. Cancers specifically mentioned in the act are lung and pancreatic cancers. In addition to recalcitrant tumors, rare tumors are often neglected in the drug discovery arena. Sarcomas are ~1% of can...

Two rotor position estimation methods for a dual three-phase (DTP) permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) are investigated in this article, where the is estimated by exploiting saliency of motor through phase current derivative measurement during fundamental PWM excitation standard six-phase two-level inverter. It found that DTP PMSM, wide speed range possible not only torque-producing sub...

BACKGROUND Adverse cardiorespiratory events including apnea, bradycardia, and desaturations have been described following administration of the first diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-inactivated polio-Haemophilus influenzae type B (DTP-IPV-Hib) immunization to preterm infants. The effect of the recent substitution of acellular pertussis vaccine for whole cell pertussis vaccine on the frequency of t...
