Drain site radiotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma: a wasted resource.
Prophylactic drain site irradiation is currently used to prevent tumour nodule formation in pleural mesothelioma. We present a case which highlights the inadequacy of this practice and discuss the recent findings of O'ROURKE et al. [1], which suggest irradiation should only be offered for symptomatic tumour nodules. In February 2003, a 71-yr-old male presented with breath-lessness on exertion a...
متن کاملWasted Food, Wasted Nutrients: Nutrient Loss from Wasted Food in the United States and Comparison to Gaps in Dietary Intake.
BACKGROUND Previous research has estimated that wasted food in the United States contains between 1,249 and 1,400 kcal per capita per day, but little is known about amounts of other nutrients embedded in the 31% to 40% of food that is wasted. OBJECTIVE This research aimed to calculate the nutritional value of food wasted at the retail and consumer levels in the US food supply, and contextuali...
متن کاملWasted Food, Wasted Energy: The Embedded Energy in Food Waste in the United States
This work estimates the energy embedded in wasted food annually in the United States. We calculated the energy intensity of food production from agriculture, transportation, processing, food sales, storage, and preparation for 2007 as 8080 +/- 760 trillion BTU. In 1995 approximately 27% of edible food was wasted. Synthesizing these food loss figures with our estimate of energy consumption for d...
متن کاملDead space: the physiology of wasted ventilation.
An elevated physiological dead space, calculated from measurements of arterial CO2 and mixed expired CO2, has proven to be a useful clinical marker of prognosis both for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and for patients with severe heart failure. Although a frequently cited explanation for an elevated dead space measurement has been the development of alveolar regions receiving...
متن کاملWasted salts and wasted bodies: new insight into the role of claudin 7 in the kidney.
IN MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS, epithelial sheets function as a barrier between two compartments via their ability to form tight junctions (TJs), which regulate the diffusion of fluid, electrolytes, and small molecules through the paracellular pathway. Members of the relatively recently described Claudin (Cldn) family of integral membrane proteins, with at least 23 distinct members in mammals, are ...
