BACKGROUND Modern radiotherapy (RT) reduces the side effects at organ at risk. However, skin toxicity is still a major problem in many entities, especially head and neck cancer. Some substances like chemotherapy provide a risk of increased side effects or can induce a "recall phenomenon" imitating acute RT-reactions months after RT. Moreover, some phototoxic drugs seem to enhance side effects o...

PURPOSE To determine the perioperative factors that are significantly correlated with the final visual acuity following reattachment of a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) by vitrectomy. METHODS Twenty-nine eyes of 29 patients with a successfully reattached RRD by vitrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic images of the macular reg...

Objective To evaluate the impact of the renal dysfunction (RD) type and change of postoperative cardiac function on the risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery. Method Reversible renal dysfunction (RRD) was defined as preoperative RD in patients who had not been initially diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cardiac function improve...

In this paper we present an approach to improve the performance of flooding-based route discovery in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) using positional attributes of the nodes. These attributes may be geographical, power-aware, or based on any other quality of service(QoS) measure. Flooding technique is often used for route discovery in on-demand routing protocols in MANETs such as Dynamic Source ...

Currently there remains controversy in the surgical management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) due to giant tears (GRTs), a potentially blinding condition. To clarify which technique is better depending on origin and magnitude tear this study aimed analyze anatomic functional outcomes. trans- postoperative complications, we used long-term final structural, optical coherence tomograph...

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of B-scan ultrasound (U/S) in diagnosing cases of acute fundus obscuring vitreous hemorrhage (FOVH) using a standardized scan protocol and dedicated ophthalmic ultrasonographer. METHODS Consecutive patients presenting with acute FOVH of unknown cause, between January 2013 and December 2014, were prospectively recruited. Patients underwent a scan performed by a d...

The increasing serious droughts recently might have significant impacts on socioeconomic development in the Red River basin (RRB). This study applied variable infiltration capacity (VIC) model to investigate spatio-temporal dynamics of soil moisture northeast, northwest, and Delta (RRD) regions RRB part belongs territory Vietnam. dataset simulated for 10 years (2005–2014) was utilized establish...

Classical double-mode pulsators (RR Lyrae stars and delta Cepheids) are important for their simultaneous pulsation in low-order radial modes. This enables us to put stringent constraints on physical parameters. We use 30 bright galactic RR~Lyrae (RRd) estimate luminosities compare them with those derived from the parallaxes of recent data release (EDR3) Gaia survey. employ evolutionary models, ...

A lo largo de su historia Japón ha sufrido numerosos desastres, cual le llevado a desarrollar una cultura prevención del riesgo desastres y reducción sus consecuencias. La definición estrategias, la gestión conocimiento adquirido través experiencia, el desarrollo tecnologías para afrontar los han convertido esta nación en referente internacional materia (RRD), mientras que aportación conceptual...
