The use of Fab Parts passively scattered proton therapy (PSPT) or intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) opens the potential for dose escalation or critical structure sparing in thoracic malignancies.While the latter offers greater dose conformality, dose distributions are subjected to greater uncertainties, especially due to interplay effects.E

The deep biosphere contains a large portion of the total microbial communities on Earth, but little is known about the carbon sources that support deep life.In this study, we used Stable Isotope Watches Probing (SIP) and high throughput amplicon sequencing to identify the acetate assimilating microbial communities at 2260 m depth in the bedrock of

Abstract Are predators of rodents beneficial for public health? This question focuses on whether predators regulate the spillover transmission of rodent-borne diseases.No clear answer has emerged because of the complex linkages across multiple trophic levels and the lack of accessible data.Although Watches previous empirical findings have suggested

Abstract Microbial Mirrors decomposition drives the transformation of plant-derived substrates into microbial products that form stable soil organic matter (SOM).Recent theories have posited that decomposition depends on an interaction between SOM chemistry with microbial diversity and resulting function (e.g., enzymatic capabilities, growth rates)

The study included 15patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), post-infarction cardiosclerosis, and chronic left ventricular (LV) aneurysm.All patients underwent interventional myocardial revascularization and Dor aneurysmectomy.Myocardial scintigraphy with 99mTc-MYOVIEW was performed at baseline (during nitroglycerine test and at rest), and 3-4
