Cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) could develop severe late side effects that affect their quality of life.Long-term bowel complications after RT are mainly characterized by a transmural fibrosis that could lead to intestinal obstruction.Today, surgical resection is the only effective treatment.However, preoperative RT increases the ri
Consent and the Indian medical practitioner
Consent is a legal requirement of medical practice and not a procedural SV@10 formality.Getting a mere signature on a form is no consent.If a patient is rushed into signing consent, without giving sufficient information, the consent may be invalid, despite the signature.Often medical professionals either ignore or are ignorant of the requirements o
KLRG1 marks tumor-infiltrating CD4 T cell subsets associated with tumor progression and immunotherapy response
Current methods for biomarker discovery and target identification in immuno-oncology rely on static snapshots of tumor immunity.To thoroughly characterize the temporal nature of antitumor immune responses, we developed a 34-parameter Accessories spectral flow cytometry panel and performed high-throughput analyses in critical contexts.We leveraged t
A review: Enhancing tribological properties of journal bearings composite materials
Tribology is the science of studying friction, wear, and lubrication.Composite materials consist of two or more constituents (phases): the discontinuous phase represents the reinforcement and the continuous phase represents the matrix.Journal bearing is manufactured from various composite materials.This article reviews the literature on improving t
The Efficacy of Using SCB Guidelines to Facilitate Conservation Science-Faith Collaboration: Experiences in the Field
Recognizing the need to identify ways in which conservation researchers and practitioners can work constructively with faith leaders and communities to conserve biological diversity, the Religion and Conservation Biology Working Group of the Society Cultural Art for Conservation Biology formally launched the Best Practices Project in March 2016 for
