DOSE-VOLUME PREDICTORS OF CARDIAC ADVERSE EVENTS AFTER HIGH-DOSE THORACIC RADIATION THERAPY FOR LUNG CANCER: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Dose-volume predictors of cardiac adverse events after high-dose thoracic radiation therapy for lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality and may require high-dose thoracic radiation therapy (RT).However, RT significantly increases the risk of radiation-induced cardiac events, such as pericarditis, cardiomyopathy, and ischemic heart diseases.Despite evidence from clinical trials showing that higher RT doses are as

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION THROUGH DETECTION OF HOT SPOTS USING THERMOGRAPHY IN COAL DEPOSITS BEFORE SELF IGNITION

In this paper is presented a way to contribute to the environmental protection when it comes to coal which waits in big deposits to be burned for energy production.Because of certain parameters, in some places, the deposited coal could overheat and self ignite, thus loosing its caloric properties and even lead to COLOR CARE fire.In this case the lo
