Seventy-two patients with Stages III and IV (TNM, UICC, 1987) squamous-cell carcinoma of the oropharynx and hypopharynx (oro-hypopharyngeal cancer) were treated with external irradiation, or irradiation plus 13.56 MHz radiofrequency (RF) capacitive hyperthermia from 1989 to 1995. This study compared initial response, histological effect and 5-year survival rate of thermoradiotherapy (TRT) group...

The aim of this paper is to provide information about the neurophysiologic model of tinnitus and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). With this overview of the model and therapy, professionals may discern with this basic foundation of knowledge whether they wish to pursue learning and subsequently implement TRT in their practice. This paper provides an overview only and is insufficient for the im...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have shown that repeated sensory inputs could enhance brain plasticity and cortical motor output. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether combining electrically induced sensory inputs through transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with task-related training (TRT) in a home-based program would augment voluntary motor output in chro...

Purpose The association between exposure to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and prostate cancer risk is controversial. The objective was to examine this association through nationwide, population-based registry data. Methods We performed a nested case-control study in the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden, which includes all 38,570 prostate cancer cases diagnosed from 2009 to 2...

Results: Total cholesterol was significantly decreased after 6 months by TRT compared to before TRT (183.7±33.9, 175.5±33.1, P=0.001). Triglycerides was also significantly decreased after 6 months (147.2±84.1, 131.2±62.7, P=0.009). TC and TGs were decreased after 12 mo...

Clinical management for patients complaining of severe tinnitus has improved dramatically in the last 25 years. During that period of time, various methods of treatment have been introduced and are being used with varying degrees of success. One method that has received considerable attention is tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT). This method is being practiced by hundreds of clinicians worldwid...
