THE EVOLVING ROLE OF RADIATION IN PANCREATIC CANCER

The evolving role of radiation in pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States.Chemotherapy in resectable pancreatic cancer has improved survival by 10-20%.It only converted 10-30% of the borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancers to be surgically resectable.Radiation therapy has a documented role in managing RASPBERRY ZI

Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion in a Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Presenting With Lower Extremity Vascular Compromise

Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion in modular total hip replacements may lead to an adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) with a variety of sequelae.Although an ALTR is most commonly recognized with metal-on-metal modular hip constructs, tribocorrosion Figure Kits at the head-neck junction of metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasties

Characterization of the Dicranostigma leptopodum chloroplast genome and comparative analysis within subfamily Papaveroideae

Abstract Background Dicranostigma leptopodum (Maxim.) Fedde is a perennial herb with bright yellow flowers, well known as "Hongmao Cao" for its medicinal properties, and is an excellent early spring flower used in urban greening.However, its molecular genomic information remains largely unknown.Here, we sequenced and analyzed the chloroplast genome
