BACKGROUND Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) is a method by which a critical radiation dose is delivered to the tumour bed immediately after surgical excision. It is being investigated whether a single high dose of radiation will impart the same clinical benefit as a standard course of external beam therapy. Our centre has four Photon Radiosurgery Systems (PRS) currently used to irradiate brea...

The European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme PRONTO project emphasizes the role of event recognition in intelligent resource management (IRM) and proposes a methodology for fusing data from various sources, analysing it to extract useful information—in the form of events— and delivering the resulting knowledge for decision making. To achieve this, PRONTO uses methods and expertise from...

Theoretically based behavioral interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in stopping smoking, increasing physical activity and improving nutrition in order to prevent major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes [1–7]. Despite the development of effective behavior change programs, the magnitude of change in these behaviors has been relatively modest [8, 9]. The...

We theoretically consider the problem of doping induced insulator to metal transition in bulk semiconductors by obtaining density as a function compensation, assuming that is an Anderson localization controlled Ioffe-Regel-Mott (IRM) criterion. calculate mean free path, on highly doped metallic side, arising from carrier scattering ionized dopants, which we model quenched random charged impurit...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, Coltosol, Zonalin, Zamherir, and Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM) by the India ink dye penetration test. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...

Le glioblastome correspond à une tumeur cérébrale qui touche les astrocytes. C'est le cancer cérébral le plus fréquent (mais restant malgré cela rare) chez l'adulte, mais aussi le plus agressif. Le diagnostic repose sur l'interrogatoire qui cherche des signes neurologique et visuels évocateurs de la maladie. En cas de suspicion de pathologie cérébrale, un scanner et une Imagerie à Résonance Mag...
