Intriguingly, the highest F removal was greater than 95% under the optimal condition, leaving a fluoride concentration from 200 to 8.

Refining Surveillance Guidelines after Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Lung Cancer.

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a treatment for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC). Surveillance guidelines vary after treatment. While patients are more likely to locally recur within 2 years of treatment, there remains a paucity of data on the benefit of frequent and long-term surveillance.

Quinoa greens as a novel plant food: a review of its nutritional composition, functional activities, and food applications.

Quinoa ( Willd) is widely regarded as a versatile pseudo-cereal native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It has gained global recognition as a superfood due to its rich nutritional profile. While quinoa grains are well-known, there is an undiscovered potential in quinoa greens, such as sprouts, leaves, and microgreens.

The effect of treatment package time on locally advanced oral cavity cancer outcomes.

Objective(s): To assess the influence of treatment package time (TPT) on overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) in oral cavity cancer (OCC) patients treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) with or without concurrent chemotherapy (CHT).
