Management of Early Glottic Cancer Treated by CO2 Laser According to Surgical-Margin Status: A Systematic Review of the Literature

2021

Abstract Introduction Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is the treatment of choice for Tis-T2 squamous cell glottic carcinomas due to its advantages compared with open surgery and radiotherapy. However, the CO2 laser beam causes changes and damage on the specimens, making the histological assessment of resection margins, the gold standard for confirming radical tumor resection, sometimes difficult. Objective To assess the different ways to manage patients depending on the status of the histopathological margin according to recent studies to detect the most commonly shared therapeutic strategy. Data Synthesis We analyzed the literature available on the PubMed and Web of Science databases, i…

Coronal properties of active G-type stars in different evolutionary phases

2005

We report on the analysis of XMM-Newton observations of three G-type stars in very different evolutionary phases: the "weak-line" T Tauri star HD 283572, the Zero Age Main Sequence star EK Dra and the Hertzsprung-gap giant star 31 Corn. The X-ray luminosities of the three stars are all in the range 10(30) - 10(31) erg/s. We compare the Emission Measure Distributions of these bright sources, derived from high-resolution X-ray spectra, as well as the pattern of elemental abundances vs. First Ionization Potential (FIP). The results of our analysis suggest that the coronae of these stars are very similar in terms of dominant coronal magnetic structures, in spite of differences in their evolutio…

Overview and prerequisites of well-functioning Latvian national innovation system

2013

Analysis and understanding of the national innovation system can help policy-makers to identify strategies for improving innovative performance and overall competitiveness of the national economy. Nowadays we know too little about how to identify and measure specific problems in the system (if at all possible), despite several attempts to define them. Until now, little analysis on the Latvian innovation system was made. The paper aims to analyse the Latvian national innovation system and to provide a factors of well-functioning Latvian national innovation system. This research gives a possibility to researchers and policy-makers to investigate the mismatch between policies and problems and …

Impact of Narrow Band Imaging in Pre-Operative Assessment of Suspicious Oral Cavity Lesions: A Systematic Review

2021

Introduction: Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a powerful tool that allows visualizing the mucosal and submucosal vasculature. Among the available diagnostic techniques, NBI is one of the most valid for early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods: We carried out a bibliographic search in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases using relevant keywords. Articles selected were screened by two independent authors based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Nine papers were singled out according to the eligibility criteria and included in this review. We investigated the articles for pooled sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negativ…

Strategisk kommunikasjon i sosiale medier : en studie av NSBs dialogiske kommunikasjon på Facebook

2016

Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 I denne oppgaven undersøkes det hvordan virksomheter kan bruke sosiale medier i sitt arbeid med strategisk kommunikasjon. For å finne ut av dette vil jeg se på hvordan NSB bruker dialogisk kommunikasjon på Facebook for å bygge og vedlikeholde gode relasjoner til sine kunder. Til grunn for oppgaven ligger teorier om sosiale medier, strategisk kommunikasjon og samtaleanalyse. Studien er delt inn i to analysedeler: én tekstanalyse og én kontekstanalyse. I tekstanalysen rettes fokuset mot hvordan NSB kommuniserer på Facebook. Analysen innledes med et kvantitativ kartleggende studie som skal gi en oversikt over NSBs Facebookside. D…

A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol for Using an Accelerometer-Smartphone Application Intervention to Increase Physical Activity and Improve Healt…

2021

Physical activity is beneficial for improving health and reducing sick leave absences. This article describes a protocol for an intervention using an interactive accelerometer smartphone application, telephone counselling, and physical activity recordings to increase the physical activity of workers in the military and improve their health. Under the protocol, employees from six military brigades in Finland will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group’s participants will use accelerometers to measure their daily physical activities and their quality of sleep for six months. They will receive feedback based on these measurements via a smartphone applic…

Associations of serum 25(OH)D levels with physical performance and anabolic hormones in young men

2023

Purpose: The present study examined the association of vitamin D measured by serum 25(OH)D with physical performance outcomes and serum levels of anabolic hormones in young men.Methods: 412 young men (age 19 ± 1 year) entering their compulsory military service volunteered to participate in the study. The study consisted of two groups from two different military bases: Group A was studied in January and group B in July. The groups were first compared with each other and due to statistically significant (p < 0.001 analyzed with independent samples t-test) differences in physical condition (sit-up, push-up, and standing long jump-tests and testosterone levels) between the groups, groups…

Effects of a home-based, exergaming intervention on physical function and pain after total knee replacement in older adults : a randomised controlled…

2023

ObjectivesTo investigate the effects of 4 months of customised, home-based exergaming on physical function and pain after total knee replacement (TKR) compared with standard exercise protocol.MethodsIn this non-blinded randomised controlled trial, 52 individuals aged 60–75 years undergoing TKR were randomised into an exergaming (intervention group, IG) or a standard exercising group (control group, CG). Primary outcomes were physical function and pain measured before and after (2 months and 4 months) surgery using the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Secondary outcomes included measures of the Visual Analogue Scale, 10m walking, short physical performance battery, iso…
