Radiosensitization effect of ZnO nanoparticles in lung cancer cells at clinically relevant megavoltage energy
Introduction: Radiation therapy is one of the major modalities that have long been used in cancer treatment. Radiotherapy is often accompanied by early and late toxicity and side effects and narrow therapeutic window. Similarity in radiation absorption properties of tumors and neighboring healthy tissues is often the reason for low specificity of radiation therapy. Development ...
متن کاملA Case of Sarcoidosis with Interstitial Lung Disease Mimicking Clinically Amyopathic Dermatomyositis and Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease
Here, we report a patient with sarcoidosis who developed edematous erythema and interstitial lung disease. At the initial visit, clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) was suspected because he had progressive dyspnea but no muscle weakness. The presence of anti-CADM-140/MDA5 autoantibodies was immediately assessed to facilitate a...
متن کاملToward more clinically relevant assessment research.
The purpose of this article is to encourage the design and conduct of more clinically relevant assessment research. The discussion focuses on the distinction between research design elements that are appropriate to the examination of validity versus utility issues in assessment. This was addressed in 2 ways. The first part of the article summarizes the results of an informal methodological revi...
متن کاملIdentifying clinically relevant carotid disease.
With the advent of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) the diagnosis of carotid artery disease has clearly become a polymodal process, one that can be done by several methods. Twentyfive years ago x-ray arteriography (XRA) was the only practical test for carotid stenosis, and it was performed primarily by direct carotid puncture. Today not only can we also assess the carotid artery using nonin...
متن کاملIdentification of early interstitial lung disease in smokers from the COPDGene Study.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to compare two subjective methods for the identification of changes suggestive of early interstitial lung disease (ILD) on chest computed tomographic (CT) scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CT scans of the first 100 subjects enrolled in the COPDGene Study from a single institution were examined using a sequential reader and a group consensus int...
