MATERIALS AND METHODS: Arrhythmia-insensitive, first-pass, multisection, T1-weighted contrast agent enhancement was performed eight pigs acute ischemia...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dosimetric uncertainty associated with Gafchromic™ (EBT3) films and establish a practical efficient film dosimetry protocol for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Body Radiotherapy (SBRT).EBT3 were irradiated at each seven different dose levels between 1 15 Gy open fields standard deviations maps calculated color channel evaluation. A scanner non-uniform response correction map was built by registering comparing doses reference ion chamber...
The crisis of antimicrobial resistance is worsening and has become a major public safety problem in China, seriously endangering human animal health ecological environment. Gram-negative bacterial China severe: the related pathogens mainly include carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Klebsiella pneumoniae. Surging consumption irrational use antimicrobials are main causes resistance. In variety strategies implemented to control hospitals, agriculture However, there still...
Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent disease affecting roughly 7 million Americans. A transcriptome-wide analysis revealed RYR1 upregulation in HF patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, we aimed to further characterize the role of progression and mortality. In mouse model HF, expression Ryr1 was compared cardiac pulmonary, vascular tissue between control mice. Candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) gene region were identified, including variants relevant types....
Treatment of patients with multiple brain metastases using a single-isocenter volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has been shown to decrease treatment time the tradeoff larger low dose normal tissue. We have developed an efficient Projection Summing Optimization Algorithm optimize geometry in order reduce tissue for radiosurgery VMAT. The algorithm: (a) measures coordinates outer boundary points each lesion be treated Eclipse Scripting Application Programming Interface, (b) determines...
The purpose of this study was to perform comprehensive measurements and testing a Novalis Tx linear accelerator, develop technical guidelines for com-missioning from the time acceptance first clinical treatment. (NTX) accelerator is equipped with, among other features, high-definition MLC (HD120 MLC) with 2.5 mm central leaves, 6D robotic couch, an optical guidance positioning system, as well X-ray-based image tools provide high accuracy radiation delivery stereotactic radiosurgery body...
The formation of cell polarity is essential for many developmental processes such as polar growth and spatial patterning division. A plant-specific ROP (Rho-like GTPases from Plants) subfamily conserved Rho GTPase plays a crucial role in the regulation polarity. However, functional study ROPs angiosperm challenging because their redundancy. Marchantia polymorpha genome encodes single gene, MpROP, providing an excellent genetic system to ROP-dependent signaling pathways. Mprop knockout...
Pharmacogenetics can improve clinical outcomes by reducing adverse drug effects and enhancing therapeutic efficacy for commonly used drugs that treat a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. One the major barriers to implementation pharmacogenetics is limited education on this field current healthcare providers students. The abundance pharmacogenetic literature underscores its promise, but it also be challenging learn such wealth information. Moreover, recommendations confusing because they...
Abstract Leaves have evolved shape diversity, ranging from simple leaves with a smooth margin to complicated shapes toothed/serrated, lobed, and dissected leaflets. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana producing serrated margin, boundary regulatory factor genes CUP SHAPED COTYLEDON 2 (CUC2) CUC3 play important roles in promoting leaf initiation maintenance of serration. Stem cell-related WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX1 (WOX1) PRESSED FLOWER (PRS)/WOX3 are also essential for morphogenesis, but...
Purpose: To evaluate the overall positioning accuracy of image-guided intracranial radiosurgery across multiple linear accelerator platforms. Methods: A computed tomography scan with a slice thickness 1.0 mm was acquired an anthropomorphic head phantom in BrainLAB U-frame mask. The embedded three 5-mm diameter tungsten ball bearings, simulating central, left, and anterior cranial lesion. bearings were positioned to radiation isocenter under ExacTrac X-ray or cone-beam image guidance on 3...
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to describe the level, preventability and categories adverse events (AEs) in Chinese geriatric patients identified by medical record review using Global Trigger Tool. applicability GTT also assessed explore possible modifications for trigger tools. Methods conducted at a 4300‐bed tertiary teaching hospital. Twenty randomly‐selected records over 60 were reviewed every 2 weeks from January 1 2015 December 31st, 2015. We studied 480 total. Two...

Microorganisms play an important role in plant growth, health and ecological function. It is necessary to explore the microbial community because of significant economic value apples (Malus x domestica). However, related bacterial communities different habitats are not clear unique scion/rootstock combinations apples. In this study, Illumina Miseq platform was used analyze niches (bulk soil, rhizosphere soil roots) two [Fuji/Malus xiaojinensis Cheng et Jiang (Mx) Fuji/Malus baccata (L.)...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequent hematologic cancer in United States. Carfilzomib (CFZ), an irreversible proteasome inhibitor being used to treat relapsed and refractory MM, has been associated with cardiotoxicity, including heart failure. We hypothesized that a multi-omics approach integrating data from different omics would provide insights into mechanisms of CFZ-related cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs). Plasma samples were collected 13 MM patients treated CFZ...
Emotion recognition is critical to understanding students’ emotional states. However, problems such as crowded classroom environments, changing light, and occlusion often affect the accuracy of recognition.
