OBJECTIVE Planning of breast radiation for patients with breast conserving surgery often relies on clinical markers such as scars. Lately, surgical clips have been used to identify the tumor location. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the geographic miss index (GMI) and the normal tissue index (NTI) for the electron boost in breast cancer treatment plans with and without surgical clips....

sweet lime split bark is a disorder of increasing importance in fars province. previously we showed that a new variant of hop stunt viroid (hsvd-sb) was related to the disorder. it had homology with a noncachexia variant of hop stunt viroid (cvd-iia-117) which causes cracking the bark of trifoliate orange rootstocks. in this study, showed that m.ngobix, bgli and bsri restriction enzymes can cut...

abstract objective: detection of p53 gene mutation on its codon 248 between iranian women with breast cancer by pcr-rflp. material and methods: dna extraction of tumor tissues was performed in 53 patients with primary breast cancer. designing primer for the sub-studying codon was performed with nti-vector software and detection of codon 248 mutation was done by msp i pcr_rflp. results: the soma...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS C-MAC® video laryngoscope (VL) with Macintosh blade has been found to improve Cormack-Lehane (C-L) laryngoscopic view as well as intubating conditions for orotracheal intubation. However, studies done on the performance of C-MAC® VL for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) are very few in number. Hence, we compared laryngoscopy and intubating conditions between Macintosh direct lar...

Serum thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) concentrations measured by immunoradiometric assay (Corning kit) in patients with nonthyroidal illnesses (NTI) had previously been found to be lower than those measured by radloimmunoassay. Because some of these patients were receiving newly recognized inhibitors of thyroid hormone binding-furosemide, diclofenac, fenclofenac, or met enamic acid-we tested wh...

The neuronal diversity in our brains is staggering. Understandably, uncovering the molecular rules that govern it is a very difficult pursuit. Its starting point should most certainly be a catalogue raisonné of this diversity, ordered perhaps according to the relatively few neurotransmitters employed in the nervous system. Historically, this has been achieved in descriptive studies; first using...

Kilpirauhasongelmien hoidosta T3-monoterapialla ja T4+T3yhdistelmähoidoilla on tehty viime vuonna Valviraan useita ilmoituksia. Suomen Endokrinologiyhdistys on antanut asiassa lausunnon [1], johon viitataan Duodecimin terveyskirjaston hypotyreoosin hoitoa käsittelevässä oppimateriaalissa [2]. Asiaa on käsitelty myös Lääkärilehdessä [3]. Lausunnon mukaan hypotyreoosin diagnosointiin tai poissulk...

HOUSING POLICY DEBATE VOLUME 17 ISSUE 3 © 2006 FANNIE MAE FOUNDATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Abstract This article examines the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI), Mayor John F. Street’s plan to revitalize Philadelphia’s distressed neighborhoods by issuing $295 million in bonds to finance the acquisition of property, the demolition of derelict buildings, and the assembling of large trac...

Local communities are assembled from larger-scale species pools via dispersal, environmental filtering, biotic interactions, and local stochastic demographic processes. The relative importance, scaling and interplay of these assembly processes can be elucidated by comparing local communities to variously circumscribed species pools. Here we present the first study applying this approach to fore...
