ConclusionsMycobacterial infections of the anus and perineum are rare. The most common clinical presentations are the presence of ulceration and fistulization. The diagnosis involves more than one procedure for identifying the bacilli and should consider the presence of manifestations in more than one organ. The treatment is based on pharmacological intervention. Surgery is recommended for acute complications or chronic sequelae of the disease.ResumoIntroduçãoInfecções micobacterianas constituem...

In this study, a novel class of hetero-steroids were synthesized, analytical and spectral data proved the validity of the novel synthesized steroid derivatives. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 were evaluated using human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG2 and Huh-7) and non-small cell lung cancer (A549) cell lines. The synthesized compounds reported a remarkable gradual decrease in the cell viability of the three tested cancer cell lines. It...

We report the self-assembly of anti-cancer drug-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) from spray dried microparticles comprising poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) loaded with glyceryl tristearate (GTS) and either indomethacin (IMC) or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). When the spray dried microparticles are added to water, the PVP matrix dissolves and the GTS and drug self-assemble into SLNs. The SLNs provide a non-toxic delivery platform for both hydrophobic (indomethacin) and hydrophilic (5-fluorouracil) drugs....

Breast radiotherapy using a breast cup: moving the target, not the patient.: Breast cup radiotherapy
ConclusionUse of the breast cup in breast radiotherapy decreases dose to underlying organs at risk, and is cost effective. It can be easily integrated with DIBH, IMRT and VMAT techniques. With use of the device a supine patient position can be maintained, meaning nodal regions can be treated mono-isocentrically. (Source: Practical Radiation Oncology)
