Aerosol microphysics, chemical composition, and CCN concentrations were measured at the T0 urban supersite in Mexico City during Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations (MILAGRO) in March 2006. The aerosol size distribution and composition often showed strong diurnal variation associated with traffic emissions and aging of aerosols through coagulation and local photochemical...

Up to half of all adults with cancer experience clinically significant psychological distress and much of this distress goes unrecognized and untreated. As part of an effort to improve the care of cancer patients, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has developed clinical practice guidelines for distress management that include recommendations about the evaluation and treatment of ...

Purpose: To determine whether radical prostatectomy (RP) or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to ≥72 Gy, plus hormonal therapy if indicated, results in improved biochemical disease free survival (BDFS) in localized prostate adenocarcinoma. Methods and Materials: Between 1997-2005, a consecutive sample of 556 patients who underwent RP (n=204) or IMRT (n=352) at two referral centers wa...

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) first published the NCCN Breast Cancer Treatment Guidelines in 1996. The Guidelines address the treatment of all stages of breast cancer across the spectrum of patient care and have been updated yearly. Adjuvant therapy for breast cancer has undergone an especially rapid evolution over the past few years. Therefore, the NCCN Breast Cancer Guideli...

The cyano radical (CN) is one of the most frequently remotely observed species in space, also comets. Data from high-resolution Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer (DFMS) on board Rosetta orbiter, collected inner coma comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, revealed an unexpected chemical complexity, and, recently, more CN than expected photodissociation its likely parent hydrogen cyanide (HCN). This wo...

Anal cancer is a relatively rare gastrointestinal tumor with roughly 7,000 new cases per year. Metastatic anal cancer as an initial presentation occurs in 10-20% of the patients. Treatment for localized disease is well established with concurrent chemoradiation (CCR) therapy as the standard of care; however, metastatic anal cancer remains a therapeutic challenge. National Comprehensive Cancer N...
