EP-1338: Delay Haematuria after prostatic radiotherapy: do it mean always radiation cystitis?

Do lung secondary nodules always mean metastasis?

Possible risk factors associated with radiation proctitis or radiation cystitis in patients with cervical carcinoma after radiotherapy.

Radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis are major complications for patients with cervical carcinoma following radiotherapy. In the present study, we aimed to determine the potential risk factors for the development of radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis after irradiation. A total of 1,518 patients with cervical carcinoma received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) followed by high-dos...

What Does It Mean and How Do We Measure It?

T he paper by Bonow et al' in this issue of Circulation reports important empirical observations on measuring myocardial viability in humans with the potassium analogue thallium-201. After obtaining standard 20'1f exercise and redistribution images, a second dose of 201TI was injected and a third (reinjection) image was obtained beginning 10-15 minutes later. The reinjection images identified v...

Radiation Pneumonitis after Radiotherapy of Neck Lymphoma

Radiotherapy is still one of the effective means for treatment of malignant tumors up to now. Particularly, it is an indispensable effective measure for treatment of some lymphoma patients. In routine work, radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the most significant complication of acute treatment-related toxicities in lung cancer; however, serious radioactive pneumonia is rare for the radiotherapy of n...

Chemometrics; what do we mean with it, and what do we want from it?

What we mean with chemometrics is closely connected to what we want from it, our idealized view of chemistry, data, statistics, models, and what not. Personally, I have a fairly clear opinion of what I mean with, and what I want chemometrics to be. Of course, this view is based on my experience in academic and industrial chemistry, and I shall here try to explain these views, and the chemical a...
