Dasatinib-related pleural effusion has a relationship with the development of large granulocyte lymphocytosis and complete molecular response in CML patients. Here we present a CML case that was treated with various TKIs and suffered from massive life-threatening pleural effusion and large granular lymphocytosis observed in his blood film. 52 years old male patient who was diagnosed as CML in 2...

Introduction: The presence of heterogeneities such as air-filled cavities in the head and neck treatment fields region, may result in potential dosimetric disagreement because the losses of charged particle equilibrium. Most of treatments planning systems are not able to predict dose distribution of inhomogeneities region accurately. Therefore, dose calculation algorithms need to...

Water adsorption on a double-layer silicate film was studied by using infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy, thermal desorption spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. Under vacuum conditions, small amounts of silanols (Si-OH) could only be formed upon deposition of an ice-like (amorphous solid water, ASW) film and subsequent heating to room temperature. Silanol coverage is consid...

Using neutron reflectivity, we found that there is no intrinsic depletion layer at a deuterated polystyrene (dPS) film and deuterium oxide (D(2)O) interface. A spun-cast film is susceptible to contamination on its surface from its surroundings during sample preparation. A contamination layer of hydrogenated organic material will be detected as a reduced scattering length density layer at the in...

Polycrystalline thin-film CdTe is one of the leading materials used in photovoltaic solar cells. One way to improve device performance and stability is through understanding how various process steps alter defect states in the CdTe layer. Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) studies show a 1.456-eV PL peak in single-crystal CdTe that is likely due to a Cui-OTe defect complex. A similar peak, ...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a modified sequencing batch reactor (MSBR) using fixed Kaldnes carriers fed with acclimated sludge for ammonium removal via simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) in synthetic wastewater. The results exhibited a SND of 82.3% within a 450-minute cycle time which was higher than that of a SBR without carrier (69.83%). Nitrite...
