The purpose of this study was to develop new and modified tools that allow HDR brachytherapy quality assurance tests to be carried out efficiently without film, video cameras, stopwatches, and mechanical rulers; and to devise methods that use these new tools for daily and quarterly check procedures, which are efficient and provide increased accuracy compared to previous methods. The HDR brachyt...

A reference electrode fabricated by means of thick-film technique is deposited onto a silicon substrate and combined with a thin-film pH sensor to a “hybrid” chip system. To evaluate the suitability of this combination, first investigations were carried out. The characteristics of the thin-film pH sensor were studied towards the thick-film Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Measurements were performe...

BACKGROUND/AIM Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the development of certain neuropsychiatric disorders. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity has been suggested to be adversely related to oxidative stress in plasma. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the relationship between serum PON1 activity and PON1 192 polymorphism in panic disorder (PD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourty...
