We have developed a novel bladder preservation therapy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and lymph node metastasis: balloon-occluded arterial infusion (BOAI) of cisplatin/gemcitabine, with concomitant hemodialysis and irradiation [the so-called 'OMC (Osaka Medical College) regimen']. The OMC regimen delivers an extremely high concentration of anticancer agent to the site of the t...

Far-infrared (FIR) dust polarimetry enables the study of interstellar magnetic fields via tracing polarized emission from grains that are partially aligned with direction field. The advent high quality polarimetric data has permitted use statistical methods to extract both and magnitude In this work, Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi technique is used make maps plane-of-sky (POS) component field in Ori...

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las dinámicas funcionamiento la Organización Mundial del Comercio en segunda década siglo XXI, como mecanismo cooperación institucionalizada carácter multilateral. Si bien literatura académica ha enfatizado ‘crisis’ y los déficits esta Organización, argumentamos a favor una perspectiva que reconozca evaluación completa procesos tienen lugar área Relacione...

Schlumpf et al. (1) reported on the in vitro and in vivo “estrogenicity” of six ultraviolet (UV) filters: benzophenone-3 (Bp-3), homosalate (HMS), 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC), octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC), octyl-dimethyl PABA (OD-PABA), and butyl-methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDM). The authors concluded that “UV screens should be tested for endocrine activity, in view of possible long-term...

We have carried out millimeter interferometric observations of the Orion Molecular Cloud-2 (OMC-2) FIR 3/4 region at an angular resolution of ∼ 3 7 with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA) in the HCO (J=1–0), CO Current Address: Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, P.O. Box 23-141, Taipei 106, Taiwan

Two micro-mesoporous carbons (MMCs): a disordered mesoporous carbon (DMC) and an ordered (OMC), synthesized by easy, low-cost, green method are proposed as efficient hydrocarbon sieves for the separation of C6 isomers: n-hexane (nHEX), 2-methylpenthane (2 MP) 2,2-dimethylbutane (22DMB). Their textural characterization reveals highly interconnected pore network within DMC, while reverse hierarch...

Context. The freezeout of gas-phase species onto cold dust grains can drastically alter the chemistry and the heating-cooling balance of protostellar material. In contrast to well-known species such as carbon monoxide (CO), the freezeout of various carriers of elements with abundances <10−5 has not yet been well studied. Aims. Our aim here is to study the depletion of chlorine in the protostell...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of brace treatment for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains controversial. To make comparisons among studies more valid and reliable, the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) has standardized criteria for brace studies in patients with AIS. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Osaka Medical College (OMC) brace for AIS in accord...

We present the rst imaging circular polarimetry of the Orion Molecular Cloud, OMC-1. The observations, taken in the J , H , K n and nbL bands, reveal a complex pattern of circular polarisation. Globally, there is a background circular polarisation of the order of 2 percent in the K n band, conforming to the typical quadrupolar patterns that have been observed in other outtow sources. Overlaying...
