A rapid method for determining labeling indices in solid tumor specimens, tumor-induced effusions, and tumor-bearing bone marrows was utilized in 116 patients. Of these, 48 patients were studied pre- and postchemotherapy. The magnitude of a significant change in labeling index (LI percent) was determined statistically. Of the 48 patients studied serially, 42 were studied 17 days or less followi...

The article comprises structural, microstructural, and physical properties analysis of Bi2Se3-xTex (x= 0, 1, 2 3) mixed topological insulator (MTI) single crystals. All the crystals were grown through a well-optimized solid-state reaction route via self-flux method. These MTI are well characterized XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDAX (Energy Dispersive spectroscopy...

We explore the power of behavioral economic insights to influence level households’ recycling and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) by examining effectiveness a green nudge, adoption Clear Bag Policy that was implemented in 2015 mid-size urban municipality Canada. Using Regression Discontinuity (RD) Design on universe administrative data, our analysis shows this nudge promoted recycling, reduced both...

The health benefits of fruits and vegetables have been the subject of numerous investigations over many years. Two natural substances, quercetin (a flavonoid) and citrus pectin (a polysaccharide found in the cell wall of plants) are of particular interest to cancer researchers. Two modified versions of these substances - quercetin chalcone (QC) and a pH-modified citrus pectin (MCP) - are the fo...

The aim of this study was to describe the incidence distribution of colorectal cancer in Fortaleza, Ceará State, and Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, and the time trend in the disease from 1990 to 1999. Mean annual age-adjusted incidence rates and estimated annual percent change were calculated by gender, using population-based cancer registries. EAPC showed an increase in the rat...
