Purpose. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and dose-limiting side effect of cytostatic drugs. Since there are no proven therapeutic procedures against CIPN, we were interested to define the role of electroacupuncture (EA) from which preliminary data showed promising results. Methods. In a randomized trial with a group sequential adaptive design in patients with CIPN,...

Abstract. This paper describes Nemo-Nordic 2.0, an operational marine model for the Baltic Sea. The is used both near-real-time forecasts and hindcast purposes. It provides estimates of sea surface height, water temperature, salinity, velocity, as well ice concentration thickness. based on NEMO (Nucleus European Modelling Ocean) circulation previous 1.0 configuration by Hordoir et al. (2019). m...

Abstract. The seasonally dependent Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) budget is well observed and synthesizes many important air–sea–ice interaction processes. However, it rarely simulated in Earth system models, means to tune the former are not understood. In this study, we investigate sensitivity of 18 key NEMO4.0-SI3 (Nucleus for European Modelling Ocean coupled with Sea Ice Integrated In...

WSi, thin films deposited on InP substrates have been investigated for possible use as refractory ohmic contact materials for self-aligned laser devices. The films have been rf diode sputtered using various Ar gas pressures from a single commercial target composed of W and Si with an atomic ratio of 1:l. Following the deposition, the WSiJInP samples were rapid thermal processed using a rapid th...

INTRODUCTION The use of acupuncture has been suggested for the treatment of acute neck pain caused by stiff neck in China. However, current evidence is insufficient to draw any conclusions about its efficacy. Therefore this pilot study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of acupuncture at the Houxi (SI3) acupoint for treatment of acute neck pain. METHODS/ANALYSIS This pilot ...
