retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor in children resulting from genetic alterations and transformation of mature retinal cells. the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sd-208, tgf-β-ri kinase inhibitor, on the expression of some mirnas including a mir-17/92 cluster in retinoblastoma cells. prior to initiate this work, the cell proliferation was studied by me...

Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) systems across Europe are very heterogeneous, in particular because of different classification variables and algorithms as well as costing methodologies. But, given the challenge of increasing patient mobility within Europe, health systems are forced to incorporate a common patient classification language in order to compare and identify similar patients e.g. for ...

This paper assesses the design guidelines of different classification codes for the liquefied natural gas carriers considering the effect of liquid sloshing. With regard the increasing importance of LNG carriers in today’s marine transportation, and also considering that the marine accidents involve significant loss, classification societies by regulating national and international standards ai...

and involvement of the trabecular meshwork for 270 degrees. The visual acuity was “normal OU”. Initial treatment consisted of a multitier approach using intra-arterial, intravitreal, and intracameral melphalan. This was followed by 4 monthly cycles of neoadjuvant systemic carboplatin and etoposide. An anterior chamber recurrence was noted 3.5 months later and further intracameral and intravitre...

Background and Purposes: Assess the correlation between Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values and prognostic parameters in retinoblastoma, including a possible contribution to prediction of response to intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC). Materials and Methods: Conventional MR images and ADC-maps in 38 retinoblastoma patients (23 males, 15 females, mean age 26.8 months, 4 group B, 2 group C...
