Sommario La ricerca del linfonodo sentinella con iniezione di radiocolloidi nel carcinoma differenziato della tiroide (DTC) è ancora oggi una tecnica dibattuta e non comunemente impiegata nella pratica clinica, in quanto attualmente contemplata dalle linee guida ATA. Obiettivo questa rassegna è, pertanto, quello raccogliere attuali luci ombre linfoscintigrafica DTC, per stimolare la futura racc...

INTRODUCTION Over the last few years, many private companies are advertising direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTC GT), mostly with no or only minor clinical utility and validity of tests and without genetic counselling. International professional community does not approve provision of DTC GT and situation in some EU countries has been analysed already. The aim of our study was to analyse cu...

At present, induction motors are the dominant drives in various industries. It is quite cumbersome to control an induction motor (IM) because of its poor dynamic response in comparison to the DC motor drives. The central theme of Vector Control (VC) is to decouple the stator current of the IM into two orthogonal components and is to control these two components individually so as to achieve an ...

AC drives are more predominant than dc drives. Ac drives require control of frequency, current and voltage for variable-speed applications. The difference between the traditional vector control and the DTC is that the DTC has no fixed switching pattern. The DTC switches the inverter according to the load needs. Though conventional DTC (CDTC) is simple, easy to implement generates substantial st...

Cancer dormancy refers to the prolonged clinical disease-free time between removal of the primary tumor and recurrence, which is common in prostate cancer (PCa), breast cancer, esophageal cancer, and other cancers. PCa disseminated tumor cells (DTC) are detected in both patients with no evidence of disease (NED) and advanced disease (ADV). However, the molecular and cellular nature of DTC is un...

Received Feb 13, 2017 Revised Apr 17, 2017 Accepted May 1, 2017 A Constant Switching Frequency Direct Torque Control (CSF-DTC) with low switching losses Space Vector modulation (SVM) for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive is proposed in this work. The CSF-DTC combines Field Oriented Control (FOC) and basic DTC advantages. Indeed, the proposed control strategy improves the basic DTC...

BACKGROUND Previous studies investigating the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms and thyroid cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between three XRCC1 polymorphisms and thyroid cancer risk. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS PubMed and EMBASE database were ...

Induction motor drives using field oriented control (FOC) for torque and flux control have been used in high performance industrial applications instead of dc motors for many years. In FOC, torque and flux of an induction motor can be controlled independently by decoupling the stator current into its orthogonal components. The FOC method has achieved a quick torque response. But in order to ach...

This paper describes the DTC approach for building applications based on markup languages. DTC consistently combines componentware and markup technologies in a unified solution. Building an application according DTC supposes, on one hand, the provision of the set of documents describing the application at a purely declarative level (i.e. content, processes and interaction) and, on the other han...
