background: in the light of various applications of uv laser in biological system, we have investigated the effect of picosecond uv laser radiation on silkworm bombyx mori. materials and methods: the eggs of nb4d2 of different stages were exposed to pico second pulse laser at 355 nm from nd:yag laser for different durations. results: due to irradiation alterations in crescent larval body markin...

OBJECTIVES To validate the feasibility and implications of a hybrid procedure using perineal and abdominal approaches for a radical prostatocystectomy. METHODS Between March 2007 and May 2012, we performed 16 prostatocystectomy and simultaneous urethrectomy under a hybrid procedure using perineal and abdominal approach for advanced bladder cancer. The hybrid procedure was selected in each cas...

BACKGROUND Helical Tomotherapy (HT) has unique capacities for the radiotherapy of large and complicated target volumes. Next generation Dynamic Jaw/Dynamic Couch HT delivery promises faster treatments and reduced exposure of organs at risk due to a reduced dose penumbra. METHODS Three challenging clinical situations were chosen for comparison between Regular HT delivery with a field width of ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, growth hormone deficiency, and cardiovascular risk factors among adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with or without cranial irradiation. METHODS Follow-up was undertaken of 75 randomly selected long-term childhood ALL survivors. Testing included fasting insulin, gluc...

PurposeTo determine the effects of intra-abdominal surgery on intensities 5 radiation-induced intestinal syndromes in survivors pelvic cancer.Methods and MaterialsThe analysis included 623 women born 1927 or later who had survived cancer. They all received external radiation therapy toward area to treat gynecologic cancers. Information from 344 did not undergo irradiation, matched for age resid...

sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. they are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. in this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...

The Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) has conducted multiple trials related to malignancies of the uterine corpus. Recently, several of these trials have been presented and/or published. Areas of focus included the feasibility of laparoscopic staging for endometrial cancer, the adjuvant management of locally advanced endometrial cancer, whole abdominal irradiation in maximally resected advanced ...
