Background: This prospective study aimed at evaluating the ability of 18 Ffluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT) to predict chemosensitivity in estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer. Methods: 64 consecutive patients underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans at baseline and after the second cou...

Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to determine, at baseline, the prognostic value of different FDG-PET/CT quantitative parameters in a homogenous Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFT) adult population, compared with clinically relevant prognostic factors. Methods Adult patients from 3 oncological centers, all with proved ESFT, were retrospectively included. Quantitative FDG-PET/...

Introduction. Let G/K be a compact, irreducible symmetric space and Q = f+p the Lie algebra of G. If ir is a non trivial real class-one representation of G on E with O^e, infixed, then the map TlG/K —*E given by gK—*ir{g)e gives an immersion of G/K into E. The purpose of this note is to announce the classification of such immersions with minimal absolute curvature (i.e., are tight) [ l ] , [4]....

The stretchability of CVD graphene with a large area is much lower than that of mechanically exfoliated pristine graphene owing to the intrinsic and extrinsic defects induced during its synthesis, etch-out of the catalytic metal, and the transfer processes. This low stretchability is the main obstacle for commercial application of CVD graphene in the field of flexible and stretchable electronic...

Morrill and Valent́ın in the paper “Computational coverage of TLG: Nonlinearity” considered an extension of the Lambek calculus enriched by a so-called “exponential” modality. This modality behaves in the “relevant” style, that is, it allows contraction and permutation, but not weakening. Morrill and Valent́ın stated an open problem whether this system is decidable. Here we show its undecidabilit...

The viscosity of glass formers increases by several orders of magnitude upon cooling near the glass transition temperature. For strong glass formers, this increase is Arrhenius-like, that is, the viscosity increases exponentially with inverse temperature, whereas, for fragile glass formers, this increase is super-Arrhenius-like. Recent experimental and theoretical evidence indicates that fragil...

Purpose To explore the value of baseline PET/CT parameters for predicting prognosis in patients with double expression lymphoma (DEL). Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical and [18F]FDG imaging data 118 diagnosed DLBCL by pathological examination at two hospitals: 58 cases Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital 60 First Affiliated Medical University, from October 2015 to September 2022. used receiv...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the response to treatment by histopathologic type in patients with lung cancer and under follow-up with 18F-fluoro-2deoxy-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) imaging by using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) crit...

Purpose The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic value of metabolic tumor burden on 2-deoxy-2[F]fluoro-D-glucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT measured with metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), independent of Union Internationale Contra la Cancrum (UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) stage, ...

A well-known slogan in language technology is ‘parsing-as-deduction’: syntax and meaning analysis of a text takes the form of a mathematical proof. Developers of language technology (and students of computational linguistics) want to visualize these mathematical objects, and their dynamic unfolding, in a variety of formats. We discuss a language engineering environment for type-logical computat...
