Viani et al (2012b) conducted a randomized trial of 200 patients (216 ptergium). The purpose of this trial was to evaluate a technique for reducing the recurrence of pterygium by using a low fractionation dose of 2 Gy (within 10 fractions) that would provide local control similar to that...
Patients were evaluated at 6 months for Body Image after Breast Cancer Questionnaire (BIBCQ) to assess possible changes in self-perception of body image and limitations. A 2nd questionnaire explored the impact of EBRT, IORT-f and IORT-b on resumption of work and normal daily activities. EBRT ...
New treatment starts were filtered for those undergoing treatment under a single ICD-10 diagnosis and the first treatment in each time period for each patient. Chi-square tests were used for categorical variables, and the t-test was used for continuous variables to correlate differences in ...
NF- Κ B signaling pathway The NF-κB pathway, as one of the core pathways of the intrinsic immune system, is involved in the regulation of a variety of pathophysiological processes including inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis [54]. Radiation can cause immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumo...
Interrogation of the devices after exposure did not show any inappropriate tachycardia detection, oversensing, or reprogramming. In conclusion, ICD patients can be reassured that EMI is unlikely to affect their devices if induction ovens are used in their kitchens. ...
. Under health damage, we thus understand enduring or intermittent irreversible changes of the physical, mental, and social functional capability of the person, which can arise from noxious influence developed over the short-term or long-term, or also from intense, short-term influences (e.g. ...
Results: Of the 123480 unique MM patients in NCDB diagnosed between 2004-2013, 111281 met the inclusion criteria with 7792 patients having osseous PLA (PLA-O; ICD-O 9731), 101919 having MM (ICD-O 9732) and 1570 having extraosseous PLA (PLA-E; ICD-O 9734). Of these, 28232 patients (...
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a specific cell death modality to elicit an immune response against the antigens of dead or dying tumor cells1,2. ICD could be induced by chemical (chemotherapies, etc.)3, physical (ionizing radiation, photodynamic therapeutics, etc.)4,5 and infective (oncolyt...
Cancer incidence rates, grouped according to their ICD10 codes, have been collected and included in the program. Currently, the data set covers the period from 1995 to 2014, with rates being provided for each year. The ZfKD database does not include country-average incidence rates of non-...
While implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) reduce the risk SCD due to VT/VF, they do not prevent their occurrence. Therefore, VT/VF remain major cause of morbidity and mortality as well as reduced quality of life in patients with ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Certain antia...
