Abstract PURPOSE Differentiation of tumor progression (TP) from pseudoprogression (PsP) is a major unmet need in post-treatment glioblastoma (GBM). 18F-Fluciclovine synthetic amino acid PET radiotracer with higher uptake tissue vs. areas treatment-related change. We investigated the value for differentiating PsP TP independent and combination multi-parametric MRI. METHODS prospectively enrolled...

Atherosclerosis and its clinical manifestations (i.e. myocardial infarction, stroke) are major causes of mortality and morbidity in Western countries. Endothelial dysfunction is considered the first step in the cascade leading up to coronary events.

The feedback received during teaching practice (TP) has a lasting impact on pre-service teachers’ knowledge and among the learning experiences of teacher education program. This study analyzed written feedbacks offered by supervisors to science teachers (PSTs) (biology, chemistry, physics, health education, mathematics) TP observation generally, but with particular attention those addressing pe...

Transdermal patches loaded with pravastatin was previously characterized in another published study by Serrano-Castañeda et al; 2015. These transdermal patches (TP) were generated by the plate casting technique, the in vitro percutaneous absorption studies of TP were evaluated for three different formulations of TP with different quantities of Pluronic F-127 (PF-127): i) without PF-127 (TP W), ...
