Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation therapy (RT) productivity, capacity, and cost in Lithuania. Materials and methods. An electronic questionnaire was prepared and sent to the country's RT centres. The data was collected for the years 2011-2014. The early data of the RT infrastructure was obtained from the QUARTS Project (2001). Results. In Lithuania the external beam RT...

Water samples were concentrated by the modified adsorption-elution technique followed by speedVac reconcentration of the filter eluates. Reverse transcriptase-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nested PCR) was used to detect rotavirus RNA in concentrates of the water. The detection limit of the rotavirus determined by RT-nested PCR alone was about 1.67 plaque forming units (PFU) per RT-PCR as...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate toxicity after extremely hypofractionated radiotherapy (EHF-RT) using a non-isocentric robotic radiosurgery system for early stage prostate cancer. METHODS Eligibility criteria of this feasibility study were 50 - 84 years old, and low-risk to intermediate-risk disease. The prescribed dose to the iso-dose line of 95% of planning target volume was...

Duck spleen necrosis disease (DSND) caused by Novel Reovirus (NDRV), is an emerging infectious that causes severely threaten to duck industry. Currently, the popular conventional RT-PCR technique for detecting NDRV time consuming. So, it essential develop a rapid and accurate molecular diagnosis techniques of pathogen purpose effective control disease. In our study, simple, reliable detection m...

Abstract BACKGROUND Biologically-informed radiotherapy (RT) targeting an adversely prognostic hypercellular/hyperperfused imaging phenotype in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) may improve outcomes by identifying emerging regions of treatment resistance associated survival (OS), and is under investigation ongoing Phase II trial (NCT04574856) individualized, response-adaptive RT. ...
