Simultaneous Multislice Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2016)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a valuable tool for mapping brain activity in many fields. Since functional activity is determined by temporal signal changes, undesired fluctuations from physiological motion ...
Representation of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials Using Discrete Wavelet Transform
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-04)
Objective. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) have been shown to be a useful tool in monitoring of the central nervous system (CNS) during anaesthesia. SEP analysis is usually performed by an experienced human operator. ...
Characterization of Bioeffects on Endothelial Cells Under Acoustic Droplet Vaporization.
(2014)
An ultrasound-mediated cancer treatment called gas embolotherapy has the potential for providing selective occlusion of blood vessels for therapy. Vessel occlusion is achieved by locally vaporizing micron-sized droplets ...
Chemotherapy for prostate cancer: implementing early systemic therapy to improve outcomes
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-11)
Prostate cancer remains a significant health concern for men in the USA as it is a leading cancer diagnosis and a cause of death. With the use of prostate-specific antigen or screening, a stage migration has occurred with ...
Phase II Trial of CI-980 in Patients with Disseminated Malignant Melanoma and no Prior Chemotherapy – A Southwest Oncology Group Study
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-08)
Malignant melanoma is increasing infrequency at a rapid rate in the UnitedStates. Metastatic disease ischemoresistant with DTIC considered themost active single agent. CI-980 is asynthetic mitotic inhibitor that blocks ...
Combination vinorelbine and capecitabine for metastatic breast cancer using a non-body surface area dosing scheme
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-07)
Purpose : This study sought to determine the maximum tolerated dose of flat-dosed vinorelbine in combination with capecitabine in patients with metastatic breast cancer. At the time of study initiation, it was anticipated ...
Phase II Trial of Docetaxel Chemotherapy in Patients with Incurable Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-02)
Background : Chemotherapy remains theprimary mode of treatment for metastaticcarcinoma of the esophagus. The efficacyof various chemotherapeutic regimens hasbeen studied predominantly in patients withsquamous cell carcinoma ...
The role of p53 in gemcitabine-mediated cytotoxicity and radiosensitization
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-04)
Purpose : We compared the cytotoxic and radiosensitizing effects of gemcitabine (2′,2′-difluoro-2′-deoxycytidine, dFdCyd), a clinically valuable radiosensitizer, in colon cancer RKO cells which differed in their p53 status. ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Guidance of Histotripsy Therapy.
(2016)
Histotripsy is a cavitation based surgical therapy that transmits high amplitude acoustic pulses into a tissue target to stimulate the formation of energetic clouds of microbubbles. These microbubble clouds then exert a ...
Absorption and metabolism of genistein and its five isoflavone analogs in the human intestinal Caco-2 model
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-02)
The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of structural change on the intestinal disposition of isoflavones and to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for transport of phase II isoflavone conjugates. Transport ...
