In addition, we provide recommendations for evaluating treatment response and managing treatment failure. Lastly, we discuss the management of complications and comorbidities as well as the importance of planning long-term follow-up.Prostate cancer affects a significant proportion of men worldwide. Evidence from genetic and clinical studies…[Read more]

To investigate the effects of a reduced field-of-view (rFOV) acquisition in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas.

We enrolled 153 patients who underwent routine clinical MRI work-up including respiratory-triggered diffusion-weighted single-shot echo-planar imaging (DWI) with full field-of-view (fFOV,…[Read more]

Depending on the clinical situation of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination, different antibody titres should be determined.The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies provide information on whether or not natural immunization has taken place. To quantify the immune response induced by vaccination, the SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody titre before and…[Read more]

79%), while it decreased (median difference, 23%, p = 0.0001) after adding vasodilator therapy. In 11 patients with right heart catheterization, HRE/d correlated strongly with stroke volume, r = -0.72, p = 0.01. Peak heart rate decreased after adding vasodilator therapy. HRE/d also correlated with WHO functional class and Emphasis 10 score.…[Read more]

To investigate the transrectal and scrotal ultrasonographic features of acquired obstructive azoospermia and evaluate the role of ultrasonography in the location diagnosis of acquired obstructive azoospermia patients.

Retrospectively analysis of 92 cases of acquired obstructive azoospermia in recent years. All the patients underwent…[Read more]

s those treated with IMRT.

In patients with OPC receiving curative CRT, patients randomized to IMPT demonstrated increasing work and productivity recovery trends. Studies are needed to identify mechanisms underlying head and neck CRT treatment causing work disability and impairment.

In patients with OPC receiving curative CRT, patients…[Read more]

6%); (95% CI 38.8%-86.5%) were confirmed to have LS.

Most ovarian cancers with somatic MMR-D were confirmed to have LS in this cohort. Germline testing for LS in addition to BRCA1/2 for all women with an epithelial ovarian cancer would be efficient and would approach 100% sensitivity for identifying Lynch syndrome. Utilization of a…[Read more]

On-site wastewater treatment systems are gaining popularity in areas where centralized wastewater treatment is not available. In the current case study a domestic activated sludge system was investigated, where treated effluent was stored in a short-term (1 week turn-over time) and a long-term (over 2-3 months) storage tank and was then used for…[Read more]

e continually promoted to facilitate access to intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute ischemic stroke.Measurement of a single marker of coagulation may not provide a complete picture of hemostasis activation and fibrinolysis in patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases. We assessed retrospective orders of a panel which included…[Read more]

Lightweight aggregate concretes (LWAC) are versatile and interesting materials for projects that require greater structural efficiency. Due to the difference that exists between the densities of the materials used in these types of concrete, during transport and mainly compaction, their aggregates tend to separate from the mortar matrix, floating…[Read more]
