Incoherent phenomena in anisotropic periodic structures: from modeling to experimental demonstration.

The periodic structures are widely studied in numerous optical applications and there is a number of good tools for numerical modeling of such a structures (for example rigorous coupled-wave analysis, finite-difference time-domain, finite element method etc.). However, when it comes to the modeling of incoherent effects in many cases of practical interest, the current methods are not rigorous enough or depend on computationally demanding averaging of coherent response.

Analysis of incidence and overall survival of patients with vulvar cancer in Poland in 2008-2016 - implications for cancer registries.

Objectives: To analyze the incidence and overall survival rate of patients with vulvar cancer in Poland, based on the reporting data from the National Health Fund.

Material And Methods: The incidence of vulvar cancer in Poland in 2008-2016 (9-year follow-up period) by voivodship and the number of patients undergoing combined hospital treatment were analyzed. For the group of patients treated systemically, overall survival (OS) probability was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimation method.

Overall survival (OS) in patients after chemotherapy for cervical cancer in Poland in years 2008-2015.

Objectives: To analyze cervical cancer prevalence as well as treatment methods, and its effects and assessment of overall survival of patients after chemotherapy for cervical cancer in Poland.

Material And Methods: Data were collected from the registry of the National Health Fund (the only public payer in Poland). The data of patients treated in 2008-2015, who were shown to the payer with the diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of cervix (C53 according to the ICD-10 classification), were included in the analysis.
