AIM To retrospectively analyze the results of radical radiotherapy for patients with superficial esophageal cancer (SEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients with SEC were reviewed. The median dose of external beam radiotherapy was 66 Gy (range, 30 to 70 Gy). Intraluminal brachytherapy was used in 10 patients, and 15 patients (31%) underwent chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was...

Depth First Search (DFS) tree is a fundamental data structure for graphs used in solving various algorithmic problems. However, very few results are known for maintaining DFS tree in a dynamic environment insertion or deletion of edges. The only non-trivial result for this problem is by Franciosa et al. [4]. They showed that, for a directed acyclic graph on n vertices, a DFS tree can be maintai...

Introduction: Breast cancer treatment is carried out at the early stage of disease, and a comprehensive assessment subtype, stage, incidence metastases required. This study aims to determine breast patients' overall survival (OS) disease-free (DFS) based on metastases. Methods: An observational analytic with retrospective cohort design was performed eligible patients Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospit...

Objective The mortality of patients with locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is high, and pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is associated with improved prognosis. This retrospective study was designed and powered to investigate the ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to predict pat...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the critical opportunities for design safety (DFS), potential statutory (and non-statutory) health and (H&S) responsibilities designers including DFS its workability in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach Interviews were conducted among 28 multi-designers Architects, Civil Engineers Builders data was analysed thematically. Fi...

We present high spatial resolution spectroscopic measurements of dynamic fibrils (DFs) in the Ca ii k8662 line. These data show clear Doppler shifts in the identified DFs, which demonstrates that at least a subset of DFs are actual mass motions in the chromosphere. A statistical analysis of 26 DFs reveals a strong and statistically significant correlation between the maximal velocity and the de...

BACKGROUND The identification of special types of breast cancer might be of value in assessing prognosis and predicting response to therapy. METHODS A total of 7372 consecutive patients with immunohistochemically defined luminal invasive breast cancer operated at the European Institute of Oncology between 1997 and 2005 were included. We then explored patterns of recurrence by histological typ...

The People of India database of the Anthropological Survey of India documents 631 cultural, ecological, and economic traits of the 4635 communities to which the entire Indian population is assigned. Focusing on 1342 communities of South India, we looked for correlates of low (1 or 2 children) and high (4 or more children) desired family size (DFS) reported as the norm for any given community by...

We present high spatial resolution spectroscopic measurements of dynamic fibrils (DFs) in the Ca II 8662 Å line. These data show clear Doppler shifts in the identified DFs, which demonstrates that at least a subset of DFs are actual mass motions in the chromosphere. A statistical analysis of 26 DFs reveals a strong and statistically significant correlation between the maximal velocity and the d...
