Sorafenib (SOR) is the only systemic agent known to improve survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, SOR prolongs survival by less than 3 months and does not alter symptomatic progression. To improve outcomes, several phase I-II trials are currently examining SOR with radiation (RT) for HCC utilizing heterogeneous concurrent and sequential treatment regimens. Our study provides pre...

Sulfur oxygenase reductase (SOR) simultaneously catalyzes oxidation and reduction of elemental sulfur to produce sulfite, thiosulfate, and sulfide in the presence of molecular oxygen. In this study, crystal structures of wild type and mutants of SOR from Acidianus tengchongensis (SOR-AT) in two different crystal forms were determined and it was observed that 24 identical SOR monomers form a hol...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of silicone oil removal (SOR) in post-cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis-related retinal detachment in Indian eyes. METHODS A retrospective review of CMV retinitis-related retinal detachment following SOR was conducted. RESULTS Out of 60 eyes (55 patients) that had vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade between 1995 and 2010, 11 eyes...

History and physical examination can distinguish among most physiologic, pharmacologic, or pathologic causes of an elevated serum prolactin level (SPL) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, expert opinion). Patients with unexplained elevations of serum prolactin or with a level above 200 ng/mL should undergo imaging of the sella turcica (SOR: C, expert opinion). Mildly elevated SPL due to physi...

The successive over-relaxation (SOR) how to quickly verify and generate a iterative method is an important solver for linear multicoloring ordering according to the given systems. In this paper, a parallel algorithm for the structure of a matrix or a grid. However, the red-black SOR method with domain decomposition is multi-color SOR method is parallel only within investigated. The parallel SOR...

Many papers have discussed preconditioned block iterative methods for solving full rank least-squares problems. However very few papers studied iterative methods for solving rank-de cient least-squares problems. Miller and Neumann (1987) proposed the 4-block SOR method for solving the rank-de cient problem. Here a 2-block SOR method and a 3-block SOR method are proposed to solve such problem. T...

the mainstay of initial treatment of venous stasis ulcers is compression therapy (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, systematic review of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). Multicomponent compression therapy is slightly superior to single-component therapy (SOR: B, systematic review of RCTs with inconsistent results). The various types of dressings available for managing venous stasis ulce...
