Both sheets could follow body contours, where the ratio air/ water bolus surface was less then 5%. When aligned perpendicularly to the EM field the meandering copper tracks used on the SPCB did induce self-heating, while the thermocouple probes did not. Self-heating had a linear relationship with the angle of the leads with respect to the EM field…[Read more]

The 151 published Innovation Reports had 148 unique corresponding authors, of whom 85 (57%) responded to the survey. Almost all respondents (n = 82; 96%) reported that publishing an Innovation Report promoted their individual career growth. For many corresponding authors, the publication of early ideas in an Innovation Report appeared to be an end…[Read more]

Cancer is a kind of disease which can be explained at the molecular level as triggered by accretion of damaged deoxyribonucleic acid. There are several genes involved in cancer, mainly belonging to two classes called tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Other than the well-known breast cancer susceptibility 1/2 genes, there are several other genes…[Read more]

G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) is a G

coupled GPCR specifically activated by long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). Functionally, it has been identified as a member of a family of lipid-binding free fatty acid receptors including GPR40, GPR41, and GPR43. Upon stimulation by LCFAs, GPR120 can directly or indirectly modulate hormone secretion…[Read more]

We aimed to determine the survival benefits of chemotherapy (CT) additional to radiotherapy (RT) in different risk groups of patients with early-stage extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) and to investigate the risk of postponing RT based on induction CT responses. A total of 1360 patients who received RT with or without new-regimen…[Read more]

g. yearly rate of decline of FEV1 % pred was -0.51 (-1.59-2.24) and -0.90 (-1.92–0.42) in TSC-LAM and S-LAM, respectively, p = 0.265]. In conclusion, the natural history of TSC-LAM and S-LAM, when a potential selection bias due to screening in the latter group is balanced, is similar. Our study suggests that the prevalence of S-LAM can be…[Read more]
