3-6.7%) and the V40Gy of the heart was decreased by 69% (3.9-1.2%). In addition, MRgRT dose escalation regimens with a boost up to 66% of the prescription dose to the primary tumor yielded approximately the same dose levels to the OARs as from the conventional IGRT regimen.

This study revealed that MRgRT for esophageal cancer has the…[Read more]

than 60% of patients. • Frailty is a condition that hinders the achievement of comprehensive disease control after 1 year of treatment with biological drugs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Missed nursing care (MNC) has been linked to patient harm in a growing body of literature. However, this issue is still not adequately investigated i…[Read more]

The improved lateral current confinement will correspondingly enhance the lasing power. Thanks to the enhanced lateral current confinement, the 3dB frequency will also be increased if proper buried insulators are adopted.In this paper, we introduce a new rotation-sensitive and direction-resolved homodyne laser-Doppler vibrometry method for rigid…[Read more]

Randomised controlled trials have shown a neutral or even unfavourable risk-benefit balance of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events. Using Danish nationwide registries, we investigated aspirin use and associated risks during the past two decades (1998-2018). We linked individual patient data on repeated aspirin redemptions with…[Read more]

Perineural anaesthesia is an essential part of lameness investigation in horses. Painful reactions to injections imply a high risk of accidents for veterinarians. To evaluate the efficacy of two topical anaesthetic creams on desensitization of the skin at two perineural injection sites and to evaluate the effects these formulations may have on…[Read more]

Interestingly, melatonin could activate Notch1 signaling pathway, play an antioxidant role, and reduce the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. However, these protective effects could be largely eliminated by Luzindole or DAPT. We concluded that the repression of Notch1 signaling pathway would inhibit the repair of oxidative stress injury in…[Read more]

al conditions.Fusarium kuroshium is a novel member of the Ambrosia Fusarium Clade (AFC) that has been recognized as one of the symbionts of the invasive Kuroshio shot hole borer, an Asian ambrosia beetle. This complex is considered the causal agent of Fusarium dieback, a disease that has severely threatened natural forests, landscape trees, and…[Read more]

Results reported in this contribution support the idea that multiphase reactive poro-mechanics is an exceptional theoretical framework to attain an in-depth understanding of CCT experiments, to confirm their hypotheses and to further improve their design.

This study aims to understand the key factors influencing guardians’ decisions when…[Read more]

The capital femoral physis is a growth plate located between the head of the femur and femoral neck, which forms a temporary joint where growth plate cartilage is converted to bone by endochondral ossification. The bone-cartilage-bone interface develops a unique radial pattern of interdigitating mammillary processes that interlock the femoral head…[Read more]

Soil microorganisms play a key role in driving major biogeochemical cycles and in global responses to climate change. However, understanding and predicting the behavior and function of these microorganisms remains a grand challenge for soil ecology due in part to the microscale complexity of soils. It is becoming increasingly clear that…[Read more]

Other studies have associated ZIP12 with other diseases such as cancer. Given that ZIP12 is highly expressed in the brain and that susceptibility-weighted MRI is associated with brain metal content, ZIP12 may affect neurological diseases and psychiatric illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia. Furthermore, the…[Read more]
