The margin status is a well-established prognostic predictor for patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Recent data suggested that cavity shaving in addition to lumpectomy might be a promising approach for improving the clinical outcomes. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between cavity shaving plus lumpectomy and lumpectomy alone with a systematic review and meta-analys...

Topology analysis of membrane proteins can be obtained by enzymatic shaving in combination with MS identification of peptides. Ideally, such analysis could provide quite detailed information about the membrane spanning regions. Here, we examine the ability of some shaving enzymes to provide large-scale analysis of membrane proteome topologies. To compare different shaving enzymes, we first anal...

The variable and non-dispatchable output of wind farms brings great difficulty to the quantitative analysis of the economic operation for peak shaving of power system integrated with high penetration of wind power. For the random nature of wind power, the paper establishes a peak shaving capacity requirement model for wind power. Based on the peak shaving capacity requirement model for wind pow...

Infusion of standard-dose rituximab (RTX) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients promotes rapid complement activation and deposition of C3 fragments on CLL B cells. However, immediately after RTX infusions, there is substantial loss (shaving) of CD20 from circulating malignant cells. Because shaving can compromise efficacies of anticancer immunotherapeutic mAbs, we investigated whether ...

The most common question we get from Shaving 101 readers has always been, “Where do I start?” Having published many reviews of various brushes, razors, blades, and accessories, we easily see how someone taking his first steps in traditional shaving can quickly get overwhelmed with the choice of products on the market today. On the other hand, with the recent resurgence of interest in traditiona...

background filler materials are gaining popularity in nonsurgical rhinoplasty the major advantages are the ability to camouflage the surface deformities, and also the soft and malleable consistency while the major drawback of the safe fillers such as hyaluronic acid is short durability. in this study, we evaluated the injectable cartilage shaving as an autologous filler material for correction ...

BACKGROUND Pubic or perineal shaving is a procedure performed before birth in order to lessen the risk of infection if there is a spontaneous perineal tear or if an episiotomy is performed. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of routine perineal shaving on admission in labour on maternal and neonatal outcomes, according to the best available evidence. SEARCH STRATEGY The register of clinical t...

Arc-consistency plays such a key role in constraint programming for solving real life problems that it is almost the only algorithm used for reducing domains. There are a few specific problems for which a stronger form of propagation, often called shaving, is more efficient. Nevertheless, in many cases, shaving at each node of the search tree is not worth doing: arc-consistency filtering is muc...

BACKGROUND Proximal patellar tendinopathy/jumper's knee (PT/JK) is well known to be difficult to treat. Recent studies using an ultrasound and colour Doppler-based treatment approach on the dorsal side of the tendon, sclerosing polidocanol injections and ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving, have shown promising clinical results. OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical effects after treatment wi...

High-resolution spectroscopy is a powerful industrial tool. The number of features (wavelengths) in these data sets varies from several hundreds up to a thousand. Relevant feature selection/extraction algorithms are necessary to handle data of such a large dimensionality. One of the possible solutions is the SVM shaving technique. It was developed for applications in microarray data, which also...
