Interstitial laser thermotherapy of a rat liver adenocarcinoma

The aim of this study was to compare interstitial laser thermotherapy with excision of a liver tumour. A dimethylhydrazine-induced adenocarcinoma was implanted into the left lateral lobe of the rat liver, and treatment was performed 8 days later. Rats were treated with resection of the tumour-bearing lobe or underwent interstitial laser thermotherapy, which was performed at a steady-state temperat

Malignant esophageal strictures : treatment with a self-expanding nitinol stent

A self-expanding esophageal nitinol stent was implanted under fluoroscopic guidance in 40 patients with malignant esophageal strictures and clinically significant dysphagia. The strictures were caused by squamous cell carcinoma (n = 14), adenocarcinoma (n = 12), recurrent anastomotic carcinoma (n = 8), and mediastinal tumors (n = 6). Eight stents were balloon dilated to maximum diameter immediatel

Training of a New Generation of Talents Capable of Working Across Borders and Sectors, with an Inclusive Approach of Food Innovation: the Case of FIPDes, the ERASMUS Mundus Joint Master’s Degree in Food Innovation and Product Design

Training of a new generation of talents capable of working across borders and sectors, with an inclusive approach of food innovation: the case of FIPDes, the ERASMUS mundus joint master’s degree in food innovation and product design.Food innovation applied to sustainable growth is driven by different needs and constraints. Sensory and nutritional aspects of food, as well as convenience are individ

Estimating convective heat transfer coefficients and uncertainty thereof using the general uncertainty management (GUM) framework

The rate of convective heat transfer is often required to design and optimize food engineering processes. The temperature sensor technique is the most widely used method to measure convective heat transfer coefficients (h-values). Being able to reliably determine h-values is becoming increasingly important with the advances in sophisticated food engineering modelling using it as an empirical input

A simple multilevel approach for analysing geographical inequalities in public health reports: : The case of municipality differences in obesity

The epidemiological analysis of geographical inequalities in individual outcomes is a fundamental theme in public health research. However, many traditional studies focus on analysing area differences in averages outcomes, disregarding individual variation around such averages. In doing so, these studies may produce misleading information and lead researchers to draw incorrect conclusions. Analysi

Associations of cigarette smoking with disease phenotype and type I interferon expression in primary Sjögren's syndrome

Several studies have shown a negative association between smoking and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and smoking may interfere with the immune response. The purpose of this study was to investigate if smoking affects disease activity and disease phenotype in pSS. In this cross-sectional study, consecutive pSS patients filled out the EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) form
