Abstract Data on air-water co-current two-phase annular flow in a tube with an inner diameter of 9.525 mm (3/8 in) were previously collected at both microgravity u-g and normal gravity (1-g) conditions. The data contained measurements of pressure drop, in addition to previously published data of liquid film thickness. This paper presents the results and analysis of the influence of flow pressure gradient on interfacial wave properties of annular flow at both microgravity and normal gravity. The examined wave properties include wave base thickness, wave height (or roughness height), wave spacing, wave speed and wave frequency.… More >

Abstract Introduction: From a radiation treatment planner perspective, in the treatment of prostate cancer, inverse-planned intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) differs considerably from conventional, conformal, and forward-planned IMRT. In this work we aim to discuss the rationale behind the use of inverse-planned IMRT for the treatment of prostate cancer, as well as some of the practical aspects, including the differences in planning strategies, dose fractionation and issues in plan evaluation.
Discussion: The primary motivation behind the use of inverse-planned IMRT for prostate cancer radiotherapy is to attempt further dose escalation while maintaining critical structure and healthy tissue sparing at… More >

Abstract There are less than 100 cases of retroperitoneal schwannoma reported in the world literature. These are differentiated from gastrointestinal schwannomas found in the gastrointestinal tract. A case of a rare retroperitoneal gastrointestinal schwannoma presenting as a perinephric tumor is described. Treatment of such masses is local excision and final diagnosis is from histopathology.

Abstract Introduction: The NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI) is recommended in the clinical evaluation of men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). However, its use is not possible in French speakers, as it has not been validated in this population. We performed a linguistic validation of the CPSI.
Methods: Linguistic translation followed the forward-backward-forward technique and relied on professional medical translators, bilingual health professionals, and patient input. Along with the SF-12, the translated version was administered to a convenience sample of men presenting for pre-vasectomy visits (controls) and to consecutive patients with established CP/CPPS (cases). Men… More >
