A recommended practical approach to the management of target therapy and angiogenesis inhibitors cardiotoxicity: an opinion paper of the working grou…
2016
The US National Cancer Institute estimates that cardiotoxicity (CTX) from target therapy refers mostly to four groups of drugs: epidermal growth factor receptor 2 inhibitors, angiogenic inhibitors, directed Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog inhibitors, and proteasome inhibitors. The main cardiotoxic side-effects related to antiepidermal growth factor receptor 2 therapy are left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure. Angiogenesis inhibitors are associated with hypertension, left ventricular dysfunction/heart failure, myocardial ischemia, QT prolongation, and thrombosis. Moreover, other agents may be related to CTX induced by treatment. In this study, we review the g…
Do as the Romans do: On the authoritarian roots of pseudoscience
2020
Recent research highlights the implications of group dynamics in the acceptance and promotion of misconceptions, particularly in relation to the identity-protective attitudes that boost polarisation over scientific information. In this study, we successfully test a mediational model between right-wing authoritarianism and pseudoscientific beliefs. First, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on the socio-political background of pseudoscientific beliefs. Second, we conduct two studies (n=1189 and n=1097) to confirm our working hypotheses: H1 – intercorrelation between pseudoscientific beliefs, authoritarianism and three axioms (reward for application, religiosity and fate control); …
Scientific peer-review - a time for renovation?
2015
Ability of the peer review system to deliver what is expected from it is increasingly challenged. Peerage of Science (PoS) is a web-based service, offering new innovations to solve the problems in the current peer-review processes. This keynote talk describes how PoS pursues to keep the traditions of scientific peer-reviewing that are worth retaining and to fix the parts that are broken.
Nestandartu interneta vārdnīcu struktūra
2015
Spēja noteikt strukturālos elementus, kuri ir nepieciešami vārdnīca ssastādīšanai, ir būtiska leksikogrāfa prasme. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izanalizēt nestandarta vārdnīcas autoru un atbalstītāju strukturālās izvēles, kuras ir izmantotas individuālo projektu vārdnīcu saradīšanai. Mērķa sasniegšanai izmantotās metodes ir literatūras apraksts, lai formulētu teorētisko bāzi, un manuāla datu vākšana un aprakstoša analīze. Analīzes rezultāti atļāva identificēt defektus izvēlētajos struktūras elementos un apsvērt defektu ietekmi uz vispārējo vārdnīcas kvalitāti. Tomēr rezultāti arī liecināja, ka, neskatoties uz kļūdām, vārdnīcu autoriem ir dažas atkārtojošās izvēles struktūru organizācijā, lai ga…
A recommended practical approach to the management of anthracycline-based chemotherapy cardiotoxicity: an opinion paper of the working group on drug …
2016
Anthracyclines are the mainstay of treatment of a variety of haematological malignancies and solid tumours. Unfortunately, the clinical use of these drugs is limited by cumulative, dose-related cardiotoxicity which may ultimately lead to a severe and irreversible form of cardiomyopathy. Thus, there is an increasing need for close cooperation among cardiologists, oncologists and haemato-oncologists. As anthracyclines save lives, the logical goal of this cooperation, besides preventing or mitigating cardiotoxicity, is to promote an acceptable balance between the potential cardiac side effects and the vital benefit of anticancer treatment. This manuscript, which is specifically addressed to th…
Das ritual der unterwerfung Stefan Nemanjas unter Maunel I. Komnenos (1172)
2013
This article investigates the ceremonial of the subjection of the Serbian zupan Stefan Nemanja to the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos (1172) and compares it with similar events of the period in question. It argues for a strong influence of western forms of conflict resolution (?deditio?) in the ceremonial.
