The purpose of this study is to compare three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) plans in a setting of salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy (RP) and to simulate whether dose escalation is possible with the most adequate 3D-CRT technique. This study included consecutive 10 patients underwent salvage radiotherapy (RT) for biochemical relapse of prostate cancer after RP. Norma...

In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the existence of Rparity is not required for the internal consistency of the theory and might therefore be regarded as ad hoc. I catalog some simple conditions which are sufficient to guarantee that R-parity survives as an unbroken gauged discrete subgroup of the continuous gauge symmetry in certain extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard ...

UNLABELLED Study Type--Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 2b. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Surgical margin status at radical prostatectomy (RP) has been shown to be a predictor of disease progression and the strongest predictor of benefit from adjuvant therapy, but the impact of a positive surgical margin (PSM) on long-term prostate-cancer-specific su...

BACKGROUND Positive lymph node (LN) status is considered a systemic disease state. In prostate cancer, LN-positive diagnosis during pelvic LN dissection (PLND) potentially leads to the abandonment of radical prostatectomy (RP). OBJECTIVE To compare the overall survival (OS) and relative survival (RS; as an estimate for cancer-specific survival) in LN-positive patients with or without RP. DE...

Abstract Introduction Penile Prosthesis Surgery (PPS) is a commonly used treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED), either as first-line therapy or in cases refractory to other options. In patients with urologic malignancies, such prostate bladder cancer, surgical interventions like radical prostatectomy (RP) and cystoprostatectomy (RCP) well alternative treatments radiation can all induce ED. PP...

The purpose of this article is to show the effect Risk Perception RP and Definition RD on Risk-Addressing Behaviour RB. To carry out study secondary data was used from a semi-structured survey administered between February June 2020, period during early stages COVID-19 pandemic. identified six dimensions risk perception thus tested structural models. (ξ RP) defined as an external latent variabl...

PURPOSE The values of Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) stereometric parameters depend on the reference plane (RP), the instability of which results in parameter variability. Identification of change depends on RP stability. This study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of various RPs on rim areas (RAs) in a longitudinal image series. METHOD...

Vasospasm of RP is thought to occur in the lungs. To assess pulmonary vasospasm, we analyzed the early and late Dsb variations after a digital CPT. Sixteen normal volunteers and 20 patients (7 with primary, 13 with secondary RP) were included. A clinical RP was conducted on ten patients, nine with secondary and one with primary RP. The Dsb analysis showed: no significant variations in control s...

BACKGROUND Current treatments for hypercalcemia caused by lung cell carcinomas producing parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rp) have limited efficacy, probably because of their lack of effect on PTH-rp secretion. In this case study we explored the efficacy of the calcimimetic cinacalcet as suppressor of PTH-rp production. PATIENT A 57-year-old male with severe and recurrent hypercalcemi...
