BACKGROUND Meningiomas of the skull base account for 25-30% of all meningiomas. Due to the complex structure of the cranial base and its close proximity to critical structures, surgery is often associated with substantial morbidity. Treatment options include observation, aggressive surgical intervention, stereotactic or conventional radiotherapy. In this analysis we evaluate the outcome of 110 ...

Despite advancements in local-regional and systemic therapies, non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Among those treated with standard-of-care modalities, 30–60% experience disease recurrence. Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is form densely ionizing unique physical biological advantages over traditional photon proton modalities. CIRT expected to have superior ...

Rapid and facile preparation of the cheap modified electrode materials is an important parameter in development of the efficient electrochemical sensor for industrial scale production and mass-market usage. In the present work, the carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared for sensitive determination of lead (Pb) ion in the presence of bismuth (Bi)...
