A Review on Main Defects of TG-43
In 1995, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)) published a report on the dosimetry of sources used in interstitial brachytherapy, Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) (Nath et al., 1995). This report introduces dose calculation formalism utilizing new quantities like air kerma strength (SK), dose rate constant (Λ), geometry function (G (r,θ)), radial dose function (g (r)), and anisotr...
متن کاملReport of the Task Group 186 on model-based dose calculation methods in brachytherapy beyond the TG-43 formalism: current status and recommendations for clinical implementation.
The charge of Task Group 186 (TG-186) is to provide guidance for early adopters of model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) for brachytherapy (BT) dose calculations to ensure practice uniformity. Contrary to external beam radiotherapy, heterogeneity correction algorithms have only recently been made available to the BT community. Yet, BT dose calculation accuracy is highly dependent on ...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte-Specific Expression of Lamin A Improves Cardiac Function in Lmna−/− Mice
Lmna(-/-) mice display multiple tissue defects and die by 6-8 weeks of age reportedly from dilated cardiomyopathy with associated conduction defects. We sought to determine whether restoration of lamin A in cardiomyocytes improves cardiac function and extends the survival of Lmna(-/-) mice. We observed increased total desmin protein levels and disorganization of the cytoplasmic desmin network i...
متن کاملEffects of Dill Extract on Blood Lipid Levels (TC, TG, LDL and HDL): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background and Objective: In recent years,there has been a growing trend towards the use of herbal medicine in the treatment and prevention of diseases. Blood lipid-lowering drugs have many side effects. On the other hand, various studies have reported the effect of dill (Anethum graveolens) on the reduction of blood lipids in different ways. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dill on ...
متن کاملThe role-playing autoantibodies in autoimmune thyroid diseases and their extra-thyroidal manifestations: review article
The presence of the antibodies against the main thyroid antigens, which include thyroid peroxidase (TPO) or microsomal antigen, thyroglobulin (Tg) as well as thyrotropin receptor or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R), is a hallmark and symbol of the autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) as one of the most common autoimmune diseases (AD) around the world. The prevalence of the thyroid pe...
