Strategies for online organ motion correction for intensity-modulated radiotherapy of prostate cancer: prostate, rectum, and bladder dose effects.

13 Nov 2009 PURPOSE: To quantify and evaluate the accumulated prostate, rectum, and bladder dose for several strategies including rotational organ motion correction for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer using realistic organ motion ... Read more...

Quantification of radiation-induced single-strand breaks in plasmid DNA using a TUNEL/ELISA-based assay.

30 Oct 2009 To accurately quantify the number of single-strand breaks (SSBs) induced in plasmid DNA molecules after irradiation, a new type of assay methodology has been explored. The new method is based on the TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotide transferase dUTP ... Read more...

Validated LC coupled to ESI-MS/MS analysis for fentanyl in human plasma and UV analysis in applied reservoir transdermal patches using a simple and rapid procedure.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fentanyl has been used for cancer pain in transdermal formulation. The aim of the present study was to establish an analytical method for fentanyl in human plasma and in an applied transdermal reservoir patch ... Read more...
