Using deceased-donor kidneys to initiate chains of living donor kidney paired donations: algorithms and experimentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We design a flexible algorithm that exploits deceased donor kidneys to initiate chains of living donor kidney paired donations, combining deceased and living donor allocation mechanisms to improve the quantity and quality of kidney transplants. The advantages of this approach have been measured using retrospective data on the pool of donor/recipient ...

Clinical significance of stratifying prostate cancer patients through specific circulating genes
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We tested a specific panel of genes representative of luminal, neuroendocrine and stem‐like cells in the blood of prostate cancer patients, showing predictive value from diagnosis to late stages of disease. This approach allows monitoring of treatment responses and outcomes at specific time points in trajectories.

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract This study aims to investigate the effects of the position correction of size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) on patient dose estimation in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The relationship between the phantom position and absorbed dose in the right breast was studied using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters and a simulated human

Is Donor Age an Important Factor in Cadaveric Organ Donation?
İstanbul Medical Journal, 2018 Introduction: Our liver transplantion center has determined that the organ donation rate is low in young donors. The goal of study was to investigate whether this observation was valid and the causes for rejecting organ donation among family members of ...

arXiv, 2005 Standard economic theory, starting with Adam Smith's invisible hand, holds that those who trade for their own selfish motives of maximizing their private preferences may contribute more to the public wealth than those who claim altruistic motives. Under restrictive conditions, this has been shown to result from a self-organizing mechanism acting at the
