Survival after hypofractionation in glioblastoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has a poor prognosis despite a multi modal treatment that includes normofractionated radiotherapy.So, various hypofractionated alternatives to normofractionated RT have been tested to improve such prognosis.There is need of systematic review and meta-analysis to analyse the literature properly and m
DNA Nanocarriers for Systemic Administration: Characterization and In Vivo Bioimaging in Healthy Mice
We hereby present different DNA nanocarriers consisting of new multimodular systems (MMS), containing the cationic lipid dioleylaminesuccinylparomomycin (DNA MMS DOSP), or bis (guanidinium)-tren-cholesterol (DNA MMS BGTC), and DNA lipid nanocapsules (DNA LNCs).Active targeting of the asialoglycoprotein copyright Books receptor (ASGP-R) using galact
Cuminaldehyde potentiates the antimicrobial actions of ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
copyright Books Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are important agents of urinary tract infections that can often evolve to severe infections.The rise of antibiotic-resistant strains has driven the search for novel therapies to replace the use or act as adjuvants of antibiotics.In this context, plant-derived compounds have been widely inve
