Experimental investigation of the effect of reflectors on thermal performance of box type solar cooker.

Cooking consumes a tremendous amount of energy on a regular basis. Solar energy is a very versatile and free energy source that could be used for different applications, including solar cooking. The aim this study is intended to experimentally investigate the effect of different reflectors on the performance of solar box cookers.

Bendamustine treatment in a heavily pretreated Hodgkin lymphoma patient.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a curable disease in the vast majority of cases with a cure rate approaching 85 to 95% with initial therapy. However, some patients experience relapse and in patients with relapsed/refractory disease, prognosis remains poor and active agents are needed in this setting. Bendamustine is an alkylating agent with clinical activity against various lymphomas including follicular, mantle, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia; however, its activity in Hodgkin lymphoma is not yet well established.
