Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes postoperative adjuvant concomitant chemoradiotherapy using two different schedules cisplatin for patients with high-risk oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods From Feb. 2008 Aug. 2010, 55 OSCC were included in study. Patients randomized into treatment groups that either received 100 mg/m 2 once every 3 weeks (arm A) or 40 per week B). All irradiated 66 Gy 33 fractions. Results Of 50 eligible patients, 26 assigned...
Consumptive coagulopathy (CC) remains a challenge in pig‐to‐primate organ xenotransplantation (Tx). This study investigated the role of tissue factor (TF) expression on circulating platelets and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Baboons (n = 9) received kidney graft from pigs that were either wild‐type 2), α1,3‐galactosyltransferase gene‐knockout (GT‐KO; n 1) or GT‐KO transgenic for complement‐regulatory protein, CD46 (GT‐KO/CD46, 6). In baboon where developed hyperacute rejection...
This study focused on how to enhance the interactivity and usefulness of augmented reality (AR) by integrating manipulative interactive tools with a real-world environment. A AR (MAR) system, which included 3D models aids, was designed developed teach unit "Understanding Weather" in natural science course, bridge formal learning environment (i.e. school), non-formal at museum), informal environments home). Sixty-four sixth-grade students (12–13 years old) from four classes Taipei City were...
Anomaly detection (AD) requires spectral and spatial information to differentiate anomalies from their surrounding data samples. To capture information, a general approach is utilize local windows in various forms adapt characteristics of the background (BKG) which unknown can be detected. This article develops new approach, called iterative spectral–spatial hyperspectral AD (ISSHAD), improve an anomaly detector its performance via process. Its key idea include process that captures maps...
The clinical usefulness of pretreatment imaging techniques for predicting neck control in patients with oropharyngeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OHSCC) treated chemoradiation remains unclear. In this prospective study, we investigated the role dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion MR (DCE-PWI), diffusion-weighted (DWI), and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/CT derived markers prediction OHSCC chemoradiation. Patients untreated scheduled between...
This study used robot-based practices to develop an activity that incorporated the 6E model. The sixth-grade students learned interdisciplinary knowledge about how use Arduino electronic components, microcontrollers, and hands-on tools make a "Crab Robot." In addition, Scratch programming language control robot complete Robot Crossing Road" task. implemented quasi-experimental design examine whether who using model acquired better learning motivation, performance, computational thinking...
The question as to whether prolonged diagnosis-to-surgery intervals (DSIs) may compromise survival outcomes in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) remains unanswered. This nationwide study was designed address this issue. We analyzed data from 26,214 first primary OCSCC identified the Taiwanese Cancer Registry Database between 2011 and 2021. optimal DSI cutoff determined based on 5-year disease-specific (DSS) overall (OS) rates using Cox regression analysis. Patients...
The current NCCN guidelines advocate for the use of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in pT3N0 oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). Here, we sought to evaluate whether postoperative RT/CRT may confer a survival advantage patients who lack adverse pathological features. A dataset 852 OCSCC treated between 2018 and 2021 was analyzed. Patients with features (i.e., positive margins, margins <5 mm, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion) were excluded, leaving...
Laryngeal cancer accounts for 10% of head and neck cancers, with glottic cancers comprising two-thirds cases in our country [...].
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Next-generation sequencing technologies are essential for exploring the microbiome. While recent advancements full-length 16S (FL16S) rRNA offer better taxonomic resolution, whether they establish stronger associations with risk of MASLD remains to be determined. This study utilized long-read FL16S and short-read V3-V4 profile microbiome compositions age-, sex-, BMI-matched...
Coastlines are changing, wildfires raging, cities getting hotter, and spatial designers charged with the task of designing to mitigate these unknowns. This research examines computational digital workflows understand alleviate impacts climate change on urban landscapes. The methodology includes two separate simulation visualization workflows. first workflow uses an animated particle fluid simulator in combination geographic information systems data, Photoshop software, three-dimensional...
To clarify the effect of induction chemotherapy (ICT) in patients with advanced pharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (PLSCC) treated concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).Patients treatment-naïve nonmetastatic PLSCC were stratified according to disease stage (III or IV) resectability before being randomized either a ICT/CCRT CCRT arm. A cisplatin/tegafur-uracil/leucovorin regimen was administered during ICT CCRT. The primary end point overall survival (OS).We enrolled 151 December...
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using multi-touch tabletop collaborative game (MTCG) as a learning platform, in which multiple students can play games digital surface. The performance participants is also explored, along with their related behaviours and experiences. Consisting 49 Taipei elementary school fifth graders ranging from 11 to 12 years old, came two classes taught by same teacher. class assigned experimental group used large tabletops, while other control personal...
In the past decade, patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) have been deemed candidates for proton radiotherapy, due to large and comprehensive target volumes necessity retention of surrounding healthy tissues. this study, we aimed compare incidence severity post-irradiation sinusitis by detecting sinus mucosa diseases (SMDs) via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) NPC after intensity-modulated therapy (IMPT) volume-modulated arc (VMAT). A total 53 in IMPT group 54 VMAT were enrolled study....
We report what is, to our knowledge, the first experimental observation of stable new bound soliton pairs at 10 GHz repetition rate in a hybrid FM harmonic mode-locked Er-fiber laser (1177 simultaneously cavity). The two solitons pair have identical pulse shape and are with antiphase (π phase difference). Their time separation is about three times FWHM width varies modulation strength. corresponding mechanism for explaining formation as well superior stability these closely also given.
