INTRODUCTION An increasing number of studies have investigated microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential markers of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. So far, agreement between studies has been minimal, which may in part be explained by intratumoral heterogeneity of miRNA expression. The aim of the present study was to assess the heterogeneity of a panel of selected miRNAs in rectal cancer, using two di...

Abstract The Missouri Soil and Water Conservation Program was initiated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to address challenges related soil water degradation examining health under real‐world management practices. data from 5,300 field sites enrolled in a DNR cost‐share program were analyzed for effects tillage intensity [no‐till (NT), reduced (RT), intensive (IT)] crop rotational d...

The present study was done to compare axillary temperature (AT) with rectal temperature (RT) in 100 infants and with oral temperature (OT) in 100 children agd 6 to 12 years and also to find out the optimum placement time of the mercury thermometer at the above sites. Simultaneous AT and RT recording was done in infants while sequential AT and OT recording was done in older children by different...

We assessed the clinical benefit of combining volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and hypofractionated radiotherapy (HF-RT) considering incidence radiation-related toxicities. After a retrospective review for breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant RT between 2005 2017, total 4209 three-dimensional conventional fractionation (CF-3D, 50.4 Gy/28 fractions) 1540 HF-RT (768 received HF-3D;...

Background and purposeOsteoradionecrosis (ORN) affects the patient’s quality of life by making eating maintaining oral hygiene painful. This study aimed to analyze carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT)-induced ORN mandible.Materials methodsA retrospective 199 patients with head neck tumors treated C-ion RT was performed from 2010 2019. Only 11 located in oropharynx floor mouth were analyzed. consi...

The aim of this study was to investigate fatigue, anxiety and depression scores before or after radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer patients. A total of 51 patients with breast cancer were evaluated with Fatigue Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale before and after RT. Lee Fatigue Scale-fatigue subscale score significantly increased after RT (P=0.001); while energy subscale score sig...

abstract background and objective: highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart) can effectively prevent the progression of hiv-1 replication and increase life expectancy. there are numerous causes of treatment failure and the leading one is drug resistance. thus, we aimed to determine the hiv rt gene drug resistance mutations in patients treated with antiretroviral medications. material and met...

Colella G, Cannavale R, Pentenero M, Gandolfo S. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants. 2007 Jul-Aug;22(4):616-22. PURPOSE: Oral malignancy is often treated with a combination of surgery and radiation therapy (RT). The aim of this systematic review was to examine the effects of preand postimplantation RT on dental implant failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The literature published from 1990 through 2006 ...

canine distemper virus (cdv) is the cause of canine distemper (cd) which is a severe and highly contagious disease in dogs. in the present study, a duplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) method was developed for the detection and differentiation of wild-type and vaccine strains of cdv. four primers were designed to detect and discriminate the two viruses by generating 6...
