Three Versus Six Months of Adjuvant Doublet Chemotherapy for Patients With Colorectal Cancer: A Multi-Country Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Impact Analysis.

Background: The Short Course Oncology Treatment (SCOT) trial demonstrated non-inferiority, less toxicity, and cost-effectiveness from a UK perspective of 3 versus 6 months of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of shorter treatment and the budget impact of implementing trial findings from the perspectives of all countries recruited to SCOT: Australia, Denmark, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Patients And Methods: Individual cost-utility analyses were performed from the perspective of each country.

Cerebrovascular complications of coccidioidomycosis meningitis: Case report and systematic review.

Coccidioidomycosis exposure is common in the southwest United States and northern Mexico. Dissemination to the meninges is the most severe form of progression. Although ischemic strokes are well-reported in these patients, other cerebrovascular complications of coccidioidomycosis meningitis (CM), as well as their treatment options and outcomes, have not been systematically studied.

Porosity Measurement of Low Permeable Materials Using Gas Expansion Induced Water Intrusion Porosimetry (GEIWIP).

Porosity measurement is a key factor to identify the hydraulic performance of low permeable porous materials (e.g. rock or concrete).
