Can the fletcher gamma ray colpostat system be extrapolated to other systems?

Can indole-3-carbinol-induced changes in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia be extrapolated to other food components?

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its congener diindolylmethane (DIM) are derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage. In addition to being available in food, both I3C and DIM are available as supplements. Glucosinolates from cruciferous vegetables break down into I3C, and I3C is further converted into a range of polyaromatic derivatives, primarily DIM, which may be more effectiv...

Diabetic nephropathy: can renoprotection be extrapolated to cardiovascular protection?

Recent years have seen the seemingly unstoppable attack by cardiologists on all diseases that limit cardiovascular health. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of diabetes mellitus, the subject of an important article in this issue of Circulation1 that relates to renoprotection in type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a background, type 2 diabetes is increasing in incidence and cardiological si...

Dose perturbation due to the polysulfone cap surrounding a Fletcher‐Williamson colpostat

We conducted a metrological evaluation of the dosimetric impact due to the polysulfone cap used with the Fletcher-Williamson (FW) colpostat for 192Ir high-dose rate and pulsed-dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy using Monte Carlo simulations. Polysulfone caps with diameter of 30 mm, 25 mm, 20 mm, and 16 mm (mini-ovoid) were simulated and the absorbed dose rate in the surrounding water was cal...

Knowing Afghanistan: Can there be an end to the saga?

War on terrorism, as the motto which formed the cornerstone of global policies of former     neo-conservative administration of the United States, is increasingly becoming ineffective in Afghanistan with the dreaded consequence of spilling over into Pakistan. This inevitable consequence of War on    Terrorism in Afghanistan has brought the West face to face with the ‘nest of terrorism’ that CIA...
