BACKGROUND Intermediate- to-high-risk prostate cancer can locally invade seminal vesicle (SV). It is recommended that anatomic proximal 1-cm to 2-cm SV be included in the clinical target volume (CTV) for definitive radiotherapy based on pathology studies. However, it remains unclear whether the pathology indicated SV extent is included into the CTV defined by current guidelines. The purpose of ...

Artificially mediated linear (methylviologen) and cyclic (phenazine methosulfate) electron transport induced zeaxanthin-dependent and independent (constitutive) nonphotochemical quenching in osmotically shocked chloroplasts of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Oregon). Nonphotochemical quenching was quantitated as Stern-Volmer quenching (SV(N)) calculated as (F(m)/F'(m))-1 where F(m) is the fluorescence...

BACKGROUND To analyze interfraction motion of seminal vesicles (SV), and its motion relative to rectal and bladder filling. METHODS AND MATERIALS SV and prostate were contoured on 771 daily computed tomography "on rails" scans from 24 prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Random and systematic errors for SV centroid displacement were measured relative to the prostate centroid. Mar...

OBJECTIVES There is a lack of information on sexual violence (SV) among men who have sex with men and transgendered individuals (MSM-T) in southern India. As SV has been associated with HIV vulnerability, this study examined health related behaviours and practices associated with SV among MSM-T. DESIGN Data were from cross-sectional surveys from four districts in Karnataka, India. METHODS M...

Perioperative goal directed therapy (GDT) based on measurement of stroke volume (SV) is expected to improve postoperative outcome1). A device that can accurately measure stroke volume (SV) during surgery and that is both minimally-invasive and low cost is ideal. Many methods have been developed to measure SV less-invasively and continuously; pulse contour and intrathoracic impedance methods hav...

Background: Segmental vitiligo (SV) is a small but unique subset of requiring due importance to its lack response medical treatment. The characteristic feature SV the distribution pattern lesions. Many authors have considered be dermatomal or quasidermatomal, blaschkoid following acupuncture lines. Two cases from rural area Chhattisgarh described in this literature.Objective: objective study wa...

In this article we introduce and study the notions of ( , ) s v r  -lacunary strongly summable, ( , ) s v r  Cesàro strongly summable, ( , ) s v r  statistically convergent and ( , ) s v r  -lacunary statistically convergent sequence of fuzzy numbers. Consequently we construct the spaces   ( , ) F sv r L  ,   1 ( , ) F sv r   ,   ( , ) F sv r S  and   ( , ) F sv r S  respecti...

Semiparametric models are useful tools in the case where domain knowledge exists about the function to be estimated or emphasis is put onto understandability of the model. We extend two learning algorithms Support Vector machines and Linear Programming machines to this case and give experimental results for SV machines.

UNLABELLED Currently, Saphenous vein (SV) and internal thoracic artery (ITA) are still the most common graft materials in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) whereas SV graft have a lower long-term patency than ITA. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotype conversion, proliferation and migration may play a key role in mechanism of vein graft restenosis. To explore differential gene exp...
