Abiraterone is approved in combination with prednisone and a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CPRC) patients progressing in the form of previa [1] or after treatment with docetaxel [2]. CPRC patients treated with abiraterone should take four tablets on an empty stomach one hour before breakfast, 10 mg of prednisone, and continued tr...

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a complication of pancreatic trauma. We describe improved nonoperative treatment of patient with posttraumatic pancreatic pseudocyst with somatostatin analogue. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital after blunt abdominal trauma with handlebar. Three weeks after abdominal trauma, pancreatic pseudocyst developed. Nonoperative treatment of posttraumatic pancreatic...

Panelists respond to the question, “What does industry need from simulation vendors in Y2k and after?” The panelists include software vendors, simulation modelers from industry, simulation consulting, and academia.

A 65-year-old man with advanced prostate cancer was treated with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogue. Four days after the initial injection of 3.6 mg of goserelin acetate, severe dyspnea developed due to worsening pleuritis carcinomatosa, which was considered as a flare-up. Chest drainage was required to save his life. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of treatment to ...

Let X be a definable C manifold, Y1, Y2 definably compact definable C r submanifolds of X such that dimY1 + dimY2 < dimX and Y1 has a trivial normal bundle. We prove that there exists a definable isotopy {hp}p∈J such that h0 = idX and h1(Y1) ∩ Y2 = ∅. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14P10, 14P20, 58A05, 03C64.

Project-based learning is an essential part of a software engineer's education. The learning achieved through projects can be improved through structured interaction between more experienced students and those students encountering their rst software engineering project. In this paper, we report on our experience over three years with trials of several forms of interaction between undergraduate...

Future system development and management efforts must strive to institutionalize these gains and provide ongoing, incremental improvement in these areas. With the growth of e-commerce and further socioeconomic reliance on IT, the organizations that have achieved these gains will be well positioned to outdistance those who were less aggressive. Figure 1 depicts the silver linings and competitive...

The author’s realizations of Alvin Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room” and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Mikrophonie I are considered as case studies in the realization of live electroacoustic music. The new realizations, while faithful to the works’ scores, differed from the composers’ traditions of performance. Lucier’s piece was realized in real-time, a new set of implements and playing techniques w...
