A small case series about safety and effectiveness of a hypofractionated electron beam radiotherapy schedule in five fractions for facial non melanoma skin cancer among frail and elderly patients.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate local control and toxicities of strongly hypofractionated electron beam radiotherapy (RT) in elderly and fragile patients with facial nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Materials And Methods: We enrolled patients aged ≥ 65 years with facial NMSC, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 40 and life expectancy ≥ 6 months, amenable neither to daily RT nor surgery. Radiotherapy consisted of 35 Gy, delivered with 6 MeV electron beam, in 5 fractions of 7 Gy/day twice a week (tw).

A randomized, multicenter, controlled study, comparing efficacy and safety of a new complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) versus Solifenacin Succinate in women with overactive bladder syndrome.

Introduction: To assess efficacy and tolerability of a new complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) consisting of vitamins (C and D), herbal products (cucurbita maxima, capsicum annum, polygonum capsicatum) and amino acid L-Glutammina, in the treatment of female Overactive Bladder syndrome (OAB).

Materials And Methods: 90 consecutive women with OAB symptoms were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, controlled study. Women were divided randomly into two groups of 45 patients each.
