Interference is a pivotal issue of a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor and analyzer. Therefore, the main contribution of this study is to introduce a potential method to compensate for the interference of the NDIR analysis. A potential method to compensate for the interference of a nitric oxide (NO) NDIR analyzer was developed. Double bandpass filters (BPFs) with HITRAN (high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database)-based wavelengths were used to create an ultranarrow bandwidth, where there were least-interfering effects with respect to the coal-fired power plant emission gas compositions. Key emission gases from a coal-fired power plant, comprising carbon monoxide (CO), NO, sulfur dioxide (SO), nitrogen dioxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO), and water (HO) (in the form of vapor), were used to investigate the gas interference. The mixtures of those gases were also used to investigate the performance of the double BPFs. We found that CO, CO, SO, and HO significantly affected the detection of NO when a commercial, single narrow BPF was used. In contrast, the double BPFs could remove the interference of CO, NO, SO, and CO in terms of their concentrations. In the case of HO, the filter performed well until a level of 50% relative humidity at 25 °C. Moreover, the signal-to-noise ratio of the analyzer was approximately 10 when the double BPFs were applied. In addition, the limit of detection of the analyzer with the double BPFs was approximately 4 ppm, whereas that with the commercial one was 1.3 ppm. Therefore, double BPFs could be used for an NO NDIR analyzer instead of a gas filter correlation to improve the selectivity of the analyzer under the condition of a known gas composition, such as a coal-fired power plant. However, the sensitivity of the analyzer would be decreased.

Background/purpose: The present study aimed to assess whether SRT to the prostatic fossa should be initiated in a timely manner after detecting biochemical recurrence (BR) in patients with prostate cancer, when no correlate was identified with prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, multicenter analysis included 1222 patients referred for PSMA-PET after a radical prostatectomy due to BR. Exclusion criteria were: pathological lymph node metastases, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) persistence, distant or lymph node metastases, nodal irradiation, and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Bi-dimensional principal gene feature selection from big gene expression data.

Gene expression sample data, which usually contains massive expression profiles of genes, is commonly used for disease related gene analysis. The selection of relevant genes from huge amount of genes is always a fundamental process in applications of gene expression data. As more and more genes have been detected, the size of gene expression data becomes larger and larger; this challenges the computing efficiency for extracting the relevant and important genes from gene expression data.

Objective: Acute low back pain is a common ailment and causes pain and disability. Physicians often prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat acute low back pain; however, due attention has recently been drawn to muscle relaxants to reduce the severity of patients' daily physical dysfunction. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the administration of indomethacin alone compared with methocarbamolas a muscle relaxant and indomethacin as an NSAID on the treatment of acute low back pain.

Objective: To compare the oncologic outcomes of radical prostatectomy (RP) versus external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) ± androgen deprivation therapy for primary treatment of high risk localized prostate cancer (CaP).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively-populated database for cases who underwent primary treatment for high risk localized CaP, had more than 2 years follow-up, and were treated since 2006. A total of 335 cases were studied of whom 291 underwent RP and 44 underwent EBRT.
