Introduction Acts of social good, like jury service and voting, lead to distributive societal benefits often come with protections ensure that everyone can participate. Clinical trial participation is an act yet it lacks or comes at great personal cost. Methods In this current study, we assessed the indirect costs associated cancer clinical among patients enrolled in therapeutic trials two Nati...

We classify, up to isomorphism, maximal curves covered by the Hermit-ian curve H by a prime degree Galois covering. We also compute the genus of maximal curves obtained by the quotient of H by several automorphisms groups. Finally we discuss the value for the third largest genus that a maximal curve can have.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relevance of standardized uptake value (SUV) on [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), focusing on tumor and bone marrow, to disease outcomes based on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving rituximab-containing chemoth...

We define maximal CP nonconservation as occurring when a unique convention-independent parameter t, a quartic function of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix V, is maximized. The maximum value is much greater than the experimental upper limit, and so the observed CP nonconservation is much less than maximal. Maximal CP nonconservation corresponds to maximum mixing of the quark generations, just as max...

PURPOSE We evaluated the influence of prior maximal exhalation on preoxygenation in 15 adult volunteers using tidal volume breathing (TVB) for five minutes and deep breathing (DB) for two minutes with and without prior maximal exhalation. METHODS Inspired and end-tidal oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide were monitored continuously and recorded during room air breathing and at 30-sec interval...
