Background: The aim of this study was to compare the differences of the dosimetric parameters between three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and simultaneous-integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) techniques in the prone and supine positions for breast irradiation. Materials and Methods: Ten patients underwent a computed tomography simulation in both the prone a...

ABSTRACT
 Studies have shown that teachers’ classroom management practices play a significant role in ensuring effective education and maintenance of students’ interest. Thus, the purpose this study was to investigate influence perceptions some Classroom Management Practices on their Interest Biology. Students’ Biology (SIB) Teacher (TCMP) questionnaires were used collect data from 331 stu...

The present study aims to examine the effect of authentic leadership (AL) on service innovative behavior (SIB) employees as well identify whether proactive personality (PP) mediates this connection at an individual level. quantitative cross-sectional design was utilized gather information from a sample which consisted 428 front-line (FLE) working banks located in North Cyprus. Specifically, use...

AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of using Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) radiotherapy for thyroid cancer treatment. BACKGROUND At our hospital a 3D Conformal RadioTherapy (3D-CRT) technique involving photon and electron beams for the treatment of thyroid cancer was often used.(1) High dose to the spinal canal was limiting the total dose of such a treatment. Aft...

BACKGROUND To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the self-inflating bulb (SIB) to verify tracheal intubation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. METHODS Sixty-five consecutive adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were enrolled. Patients were provided chest compression and ventilation by either ba-valve-mask or the esophageal tracheal double-lumen airway by ambu...

A key area of concern in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are self-injurious behaviors (SIBs). These are behaviors that an individual engages in that may cause physical harm, such as head banging, or self-biting. SIBs are more common in children with ASD than those who are typically developing or have other neurodevelopmental disabilities. Therefore, it is important that clinician...

Achieving high-stability, long span-life, and fast sodiation reaction kinetics in sodium ion battery (SIB) can significantly promote its practical application. Here, we use freeze-drying carbonization to prepare a flexible N-doped silk wadding-derived carbon/SnOx@reduced graphene oxide (N-SWC/SnOx@rGO) film as an ultra-stable anode for half/full SIB. A superior capacity of 572.2 mA h g?1 at 0.1...

Pervasive developmental disorder is characterized by various symptoms that often include self-injurious behavior (SIB). Episodes of SIB occur in the context of high emotional arousal, anger, or fear and may be related to epilepsy. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with pervasive developmental disorder presenting with SIB non-responsive to antipsychotic medication. Positron emission tomogr...

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) and aggression have been the concern of researchers because of the serious impact these behaviors have on individuals' lives. Despite the plethora of research on the treatment of SIB and aggressive behavior, the reported findings have been inconsistent regarding the effectiveness of reinforcement-based versus punishment-based procedures. We conducted a literature r...
