Multi-institutional Development and Validation of Contouring Guidelines for Para-aortic Elective Nodal Irradiation in Prostate Cancer Based on Patterns of Involvement on Targeted Molecular Imaging Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.

Purpose: Molecular imaging better identifies anatomic regions of metastatic spread of prostate cancer compared with conventional imaging, resulting in para-aortic (PA) nodal metastases being increasingly identified. Consequently, some radiation oncologists electively treat the PA lymph node region in patients with gross or high risk of PA nodal involvement. The anatomic locations of at-risk PA lymph nodes for prostate cancer are unknown.

Combining payment for crop damages and reward for productivity to address wildlife conflict.

Conflict caused by wild herbivores damaging crops is an almost universal problem in conservation. We designed and implemented a game-theory-based system for supporting farmers whose crops were being heavily damaged by wild herbivores. In this community-operated system, farmers self-report their production, which is endorsed by neighboring farmers.

Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using an autograft or allograft for patellar dislocation: a systematic review.

Purposes: The purpose of this study is to review the use of an allograft or autograft in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: Various electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published from January 2000 to September 2017 that evaluated clinical outcomes of MPFL reconstruction using an autograft or allograft. Data search, extraction, analysis, and quality assessments were performed based on Cochrane Collaboration guidelines.

Cardioprotective potential of (Spinach) against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats.

Context: is rich in antioxidant phyto-constituents, termed as the natural antioxidant mixture (NAO).

Objective: This study investigates the cardioprotective effect of an antioxidant-rich extract of (NAOE) and its phytoconstituent rutin in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction in rats.

Methods: Rats were treated with NAOE (400 and 800 mg/kg), rutin (50 mg/kg) and the reference drug gemfibrozil (50 mg/kg) daily for 30 days and were administered ISO (85 mg/kg, s.

Distal Femoral Varus Osteotomy for Valgus Arthritis of the Knees: Systematic Review of Open versus Closed Wedge Osteotomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between open and closed wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFO).

Methods: A literature search of online databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library database) was made in addition to manual search of major orthopedic journals. Data were searched from the time period of January 1990 to October 2016.
