The pelvis and femur of Ardipithecus ramidus: the emergence of upright walking.

30 Sep 2009 The femur and pelvis of Ardipithecus ramidus have characters indicative of both upright bipedal walking and movement in trees. Consequently, bipedality in Ar. ramidus was more primitive than in later Australopithecus. Compared with monkeys and Early ... Read more...

Helical tomotherapy significantly reduces dose to normal tissues when compared to 3D-CRT for locally advanced rectal cancer.

29 Sep 2009 Combined modality treatment (neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery) for locally advanced rectal cancer requires special attention to various organs at risk (OAR). As a result, the use of conformal dose delivery methods has become more ... Read more...

Helical tomotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost for high-risk and lymph node-positive prostate cancer: early report on acute and late toxicity.

29 Sep 2009 The use of whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) for high-risk and lymph node-positive prostate cancer (PC) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity associated with helical tomotherapy in the treatment of ... Read more...
