Abstract Background Post-operative stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of patients with brain metastases single resection cavities is typically planned on a post-recovery MRI, 4-6 weeks after resection. However, meanwhile the intracranial metastasis may (re-)grow, and postponing adjuvant systemic treatment increases chance extracranial progression as well. Anticipating direct post-operative SRS to ...

Carrier Aggregation (CA) is one of the Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) features that allow mobile network operators (MNO) to combine multiple component carriers (CCs) across the available spectrum to create a wider bandwidth channel for increasing the network data throughput and overall capacity. CA has a potential to enhance data rates and network performance in the downlink, uplink, or b...

Aim: To present results of percutaneous treatment with Örmeci technique for muscle hydatid diseases.
 Material and Method: Twelve patients (9 male, 3 female) 16 cysts (10 CE Type 1, 6 Type3B) were treated by technique. The puncture was performed under sonographic guidance using a 22-gauge Chiba needle as one-step procedure in type 1 3A. However, two to six needles according size the used d...

Toads injected with 2 mg 7,12-dimethyl-benza(a)anthracene (DMBA)/toad, 3 times/week for 12 weeks induced liver tumors in 12 out of 50 cases. The electron micrograph of toad liver tumor showed disorganization of the rough endoplasmic reticulum which encircles or partially surrounds the mitochondria. Cristae mitochondrialis are rare in comparison with control. Enhancement of liver tumor incidence...

CorrelationClustering is now an established problem in the algorithms and constrained clustering communities. With the requirement that at most two clusters be formed, the minimisation problem is related to the study of signed graphs in the social psychology community, and has applications in statistical mechanics and biological networks. Although a PTAS exists for this problem, its running tim...

Background . Radiation therapy for high-risk prostate cancer presents a challenge radiotherapists. The improvement of treatment outcomes is associated with radiation dose escalation and prophylactic irradiation lymph nodes, therefore, the development new schemes needed. Simultaneous integrated boost technique based on volumetric modulated arc most efficient option. Material Methods anatomical d...

Sound pressure measurements were made at the hearing aid microphones of 20 subjects with their in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids and a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid to determine the influence of microphone location on hearing aid input. A probe tube microphone was used to measure the difference in dB SPL between the ITE and BTE microphone locations. ITE microphone location resulted in a maximum ...
