چکیده
Developmental biologists have made surprising discoveries on the evolutionary origins of cell types, organs and body plans. Now, an elegant study in Drosophila raises interesting questions about the origin of two major endocrine organs of insects.

A Comparative Study of 3-D Conformal Radiotherapy Treatment Plans with and Without Deep Inspiration Breath-Hold Technique for Left-Sided Breast Cancer
Introduction: The rate of cardiac diseases have increased among patients who underwent radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer. The study’s aim was evaluate the dose to organs at risk in free-breathing 3-dimensional conformal (FB-3DCRT) against 3-dimensional conformal deep inspiration breath-hold (3DCRT-DIBH) in patients with left-sided breast cancer. Ma...
متن کاملA gated deep inspiration breath‐hold radiation therapy technique using a linear position transducer
For patients with thoracic and abdominal lesions, respiration-induced internal organ motion and deformations during radiation therapy are limiting factors for the administration of high radiation dose. To increase the dose to the tumor and to reduce margins, tumor movement during treatment must be minimized. Currently, several types of breath-synchronized systems are in use. These systems inclu...
متن کاملThe Agnathan Enteropancreatic Endocrine System: Phylogenetic and Ontogenetic Histories, Structure, and Function1
SYNOPSIS. The extant jawless fishes (Agnatha) include the hagfishes and lampreys whose ancestry can be traced through a conserved evolution to the earliest of vertebrates. This review traces the study of the enteropancreatic (EP), endocrine cells and their products in hagfishes and lampreys over the past two centuries. Erika Plisetskaya is one of several prominent comparative endocrinologists w...
متن کاملAssessing and ensuring patient safety during breath-holding for radiotherapy
OBJECTIVE While there is recent interest in using repeated deep inspiratory breath-holds, or prolonged single breath-holds, to improve radiotherapy delivery, breath-holding has risks. There are no published guidelines for monitoring patient safety, and there is little clinical awareness of the pronounced blood pressure rise and the potential for gradual asphyxia that occur during breath-holding...
متن کاملThe efficacy of diaphragmatic breathing practice on respiratory function, balance, and quality of life in elderly women
Introduction: Introduction: The respiratory system affects the motor control and stability of the body, especially in the elderly. The present study aimed to determine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing practice on respiratory function, balance, and quality of life in elderly women. Materials and Methods: Forty elderly women with a mean age of 72.40 years participated in this study voluntari...
