ABSTRACT Binary population synthesis (BPS) employs prescriptions to predict final fates, explosion or implosion, and remnant masses based on one two stellar parameters at the evolutionary cutoff imposed by code, usually near central carbon ignition. In doing this, BPS disregards integral role late-stage evolution plays in determining fate, type, mass within neutrino-driven paradigm. To highligh...

Purpose/ObjectivesThe use of SBRT for ultracentral lung tumors is limited by increased toxicity. We hypothesized that using published normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) and tumor control (TCP) models, could improve the therapeutic ratio between A proposed model-based approach was applied to virtually replan early stage non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) tumors.Materials/MethodsThe analysi...

141 questionnaires were posted to GPs randomly selected in the Mid-West. 103 responses were received. 32 GPs (31%) strongly agreed and 65 GPs (63%) agreed that antibiotics are over used in general practice. 35 GPs (34%) felt under pressure to prescribe an antibiotic at least once a day. 41 GPs (40%) agreed that delayed prescriptions are a safe prescribing strategy. 53 GPs (51%) agreed that dela...

This excellent pamphlet is published by Dr. Thos. Stephenson, the Editor of the well known and useful periodical, The Prescriber. Incompatibility, in the medical sense, has been defined by Dr. Walter Smith of Dublin a? "any unintentional change, which notably interferes with the elegance, usefulness, or safety of a prescription," and such changes may be chemical, physical (or pharmaceutical), o...

Prescribing a regimen that provides "optimal dialysis" to patients who wish to dialyze at home is of major importance, yet there is substantial variation in how home hemodialysis (HD) is prescribed. Geographic location, patient health status and clinical goals, and patient lifestyle and preferences all influence the selection of a prescription for a particular patient-there is no single prescri...

The tongue image is an important physical information of human, it is of great importance to the diagnosis and treatment in clinical medicine. Herbal prescriptions are simple, noninvasive and low side effects, and are widely applied in China. Researches on automatic construction technology of herbal prescription based on tongue image have great significance for deep learning to explore the rele...

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radix astragali and its prescriptions for diabetic retinopathy. Methods. A computer-based online and manual search was conducted for randomized controlled trials addressing radix astragali and its prescriptions for diabetic retinopathy. Results. 16 RCTs involving 977 subjects and 1586 eyes were identified. Meta-analysis indicated that the effect...

The two loop effective potential of massless λφ4 theory is presented in several regularization and renormalization prescriptions and the dynamical symmetry breaking solution is obtained in the strong-coupling situation in several prescriptions except the Coleman-Weinberg prescription. The beta function in the broken phase becomes negative and the UV fixed point turns out to be a strong-coupling...

OBJECTIVES To implement and assess a rules based computerised prescribing system with the aim of improving the safety of prescriptions and the administration of drugs. DESIGN Analysis of performance of computerised system plus questionnaire survey of users. SETTING 64 bed renal unit in a teaching hospital. INTERVENTION : Introduction of the system into routine clinical use. MAIN OUTCOME...
