Background: The combination of doxorubicin (DOX) with paclitaxel (PTX) effectively treats breast cancer (BC). However,DOX-associated cardiotoxicity (CTX) is aggravated by the use PTX. Consensus lacking about which drug sequence involves most CTX. Objectives: To evaluate whether DOX followed PXT or reverse has greatest cardiotoxic potential in treatment BC. Methods: Prospective study women prima...

Let WQ = Proj(Q[g2' g3' X, Y, ZJI(homogeneous ideal generated by y 2Z + 4X3 g2XZ2 g3Z3». This is said to be the Weierstrass Family over the field Q. Then the first homology with compact supports of the Weierstrass Family is computed explicitly, i.e., it is generated by {C-kdX 1\ dYh .. , and {XC-kdX 1\ dYh .. 1 over the ring Q[g2' g3]' where C is a polynomial y 2 4X3 + g2 X + g3' When one tenso...

Let G1 and G2 be simple graphs and let n1 = |V (G1)|, m1 = |E(G1)|, n2 = |V (G2)| and m2 = |E(G2)|. In this paper we derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of spanning trees τ in the Cartesian product G1 G2 of G1 and G2. We show that: τ(G1 G2) ≥ 2(n1−1)(n2−1) n1n2 (τ(G1)n1) n2+1 2 (τ(G2)n2) n1+1 2 and τ(G1 G2) ≤ τ(G1)τ(G2) [ 2m1 n1 − 1 + 2m2 n2 − 1 ](n1−1)(n2−1) . We also characteri...

Compositions of biotite from three different rock types of Mashhad granitoids, i.e., granodiorite, monzogranite and leucogranite in NE of Iran have been documented by electron microprobe and wet chemistry for Fe3+ and Fe2+. Mashhad granitoids have been geochronologically and petrologically grouped into G1 and G2 phases. Microprobe data show that the total Fe contents in biotite from G2 leucogra...

Employing the string bit formalism of hep-th/0209215, we identify the basis transformation that relates BMN operators in N = 4 gauge theory to string states in the dual string field theory at finite g2 = J 2/N . In this basis, the supercharge truncates at linear order in g2, and the mixing amplitude between 1 and 2-string states precisely matches with the (corrected) answer of hep-th/0206073 fo...
