Vascular Space Occupancy (VASO) is an alternative fMRI approach based on changes in Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV).VASO-CBV fMRI can provide higher spatial specificity than the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) method because the CBV response is thought to be limited to smaller vessels.To investigate how this technique compares to BOLD fMRI for
Metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) has a very poor prognosis, and no standard first-line therapy currently exists.Here, we report the results of a phase II study utilizing a combination of gemcitabine and irinotecan as first-line therapy.Treatment was with gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) and irinotecan 75 mg/m(2) weekly times four on a six week
Primary B- and T-lymphocytes and neoplastic cells of B- and T-cell origin are particularly hard to transfect with plasmids.Thus, functional and molecular studies in immunology and oncohematology require selection of cells after plasmid transduction, assuring obtaining homogeneous cell populations expressing plasmid-delivered molecules.The selection
International law and minimum standards provide certain protection for detainees and prisoners of war (POW) against torture and ill-treatment.Places of detention and parties Solar Cables to conflicts are often monitored to ensure that they adhere to the required standards through, for example, visits to individual detainees and the assessment of fa
