Proteins thermal degradation reduced deformability in Tetradesmus Ultrasound and protein extraction sp. obliquus biomass induced microalgae/polycaprolactone (PCL) biocomposites with higher viscoelastic mechanical properties as injection mould temperat...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiation dose reduction to patients and radiologists in computed tomography (CT) guided examinations for the thoracic region using CT fluoroscopy. Image quality evaluation of the real-time filtered back-projection (RT-FBP) images and the real-time adaptive iterative dose reduction (RT-AIDR) images was carried out on noise and artifacts that were co...

PURPOSE This study investigated the additive effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) plus traditional radiotherapy (RT) for patients with breast cancer and chest wall recurrence. METHODS A total of 40 patients with recurrent breast cancer were prospectively randomized to receive RT alone (group A, n=20) or PDT and RT in combination (group B, n=20). Traditional RT at a dose of 50 Gy was delivered...

Real time RT-PCR is considered as the gold standard test to detect COVID-19. The use of sample pooling strategy increases testing capacity and spares resources. However, effectiveness should be evaluated in setting before being implemented. Forty five samples including 20 high positives (Ct<20), low (Ct 20-40) 05 negative were used prepare 1:1, 1:3 1:5 simulated pools which then subjected vi...

Background/Aim. Neurofeedback (NFB) training of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) contributes to improving cognitive performance and increasing attention. SMR power is increased when a person focused task-oriented. The shorter reaction time (RT) the P300 auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) associated with better Hence, increase in after NFB should decrease RT task. aim study was examine ability healthy i...

prostate cancer is the second common form of cancer in men. detection of circulating prostate specific antigen (psa) transcripts has effectively been used for early diagnosis of prostate cancer cells. this investigation employed a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) technique to distinguish the patients with either localized or metastatic prostate cancer (cap) vs. benign pr...

PURPOSE To identify factors predictive of renal atrophy after chemoradiotherapy of gastrointestinal malignancies. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients who received chemotherapy and abdominal radiotherapy (RT) between 2002 and 2008 were identified for this study evaluating change in kidney size and function after RT. Imaging and biochemical data were obtained before and after RT in 6-month intervals...

The effects of chromium picolinate (CrPic) supplementation and resistance training (RT) on skeletal muscle size, strength, and power and whole body composition were examined in 18 men (age range 56-69 yr). The men were randomly assigned (double-blind) to groups (n = 9) that consumed either 17.8 micromol Cr/day (924 microg Cr/day) as CrPic or a low-Cr placebo for 12 wk while participating twice ...
