Radiation Dose Optimization in Diffuse Large B- Cell Lymphoma. (DOBL)
The purpose of this study is to compare standard dose radiation of 45 Gray(Gy) in 25 fractions in Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma- Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (NHL-DLBCL) to that of 36 Gy in 20 fractions. The role of radiation in NHL-DLBCL has been addressed in large cooperative trials showing improvement …

Effect of Renal Access Sheath on Functions
Patients will be randomly divided into two groups in order to evaluate the effect of the size of the access sheath (Amplatz) used in the Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operation on kidney functions. After dilatation, 22French (Fr) Amplatz sheath will be placed in the first group, while 28Fr Amplatz sheath will …

Renal Function Assessment in the Elderly Using Plasma Creatinine Assay and Lean Body Mass Measurement
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the recommended parameter to assess renal function. The reference technique to measure GFR (clearance of a glomerular agent) is not commonly used. Instead, estimations (eGFR) are routinely taken from serum creatinine (SCr) with several published formulae: Cockcroft and Gault, MDRD, CKD-EPI. Basically, all these formulae …

The Influence of Mitochondrial-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species on Racial Disparities in Neurovascular Function
Black individuals are at increased cardiovascular disease risk. The central goal of the study is to determine if mitochondrial reactive oxygen species influence blood vessel function and nervous system regulation of blood pressure differentially in black, compared to white individuals. These findings may help to explain a potential mechanism that …

Effect of Branch Chain Amino Acid Therapy on Sarcopenia in Children With Chronic Liver Disease.
Sarcopenia is now a well-known complication of cirrhosis and various studies, including pediatric studies, have recognized it as a poor prognostic factor. At the molecular level, branch chain amino acids upregulate muscle protein synthesis by acting through the mTOR pathway. Although effect of Branch Chain Amino acids has been studied …
