OBJECTIVES To determine the factors associated with outcome by reviewing our institution's experience treating patients with external beam radiation therapy (RT) after radical prostatectomy. METHODS Sixty-one patients received RT to the prostatic fossa after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer (median dose 59.4 Gy). Thirty-eight patients received adjuvant RT within 6 months of surgery f...

BACKGROUND/AIM Biochemical failure after radiotherapy for prostate cancer occurs infrequently, but some cases progress to a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to examine prognosis after biochemical failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 728 patients were treated with carbon ion radiotherapy, and biochemical failure occurred in 90 (12.4%). Their outcomes were examined according to risk ...

Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) necessitates identifying patients at risk of fatal outcomes. Classic biomarkers used clinically today in other organ systems are quantitative nature. This aspect largely restricts the prognostic ability a theoretical biomarker. study aimed to explore biochemical markers and imaging findings reflecting severity cerebral damage predict Methodology In this...

artificial fertilizers and mainly organophosphate herbicide are used by farmers to enhance their crop and control pests. in order to investigate the effects of pretilachlore, fingerlings of caspian roach were exposed to a range of concentrations of toxin close to those of estuary for 96 h. due to movement of these fingerlings in a gradient of salinity from freshwater to brackishwater some physi...
