Ancient Eastern thought posited the ontological integration of the "mind-body world". The body-mind syncretism was a foundational precept in Eastern philosophy in which "Gih" ("Qi") was considered the basic entity of the universe and the human being. This study attempts to build a meta-theory and to demonstrate empirical designs for Gih, discussing the problems of the mind and body, or the subj...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Radiation dose in oncology protocols is different for each patient according to the type and grade of the tumor, as well as adjuvant therapies. In the current treatment regimens, some predicting factors of individual radiosensitivity have not been considered. Individual radiotherapy can lower side effects through radiation dose reduction with respect to tumor control. ...

Population variability in nasal irritant (chemesthesic) sensitivity has been postulated by both clinicians and epidemiologists studying indoor and ambient air pollution. Among experimentalists, however, limited attention has been paid to variance in this trait. Candidate susceptibility markers include age, gender, presence or absence of nasal allergies or olfactory dysfunction, cognitive bias a...
