The effect of body mass index on overall and disease-free survival in node-positive breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel and doxorubicin-containing adjuvant chemotherapy: the experience of the BIG 02-98 trial

McGuffin and Balakrishnan (M&B) have recently reported evidence that target expansion during a reaching movement reduces pointing time even if the expansion occurs as late as in the last 10 % of the distance to be covered by the cursor. While M&B massed their static and expanding targets

of categorising users is also described that could aid in data analysis and management of a trial with very large numbers of participants. SGVis has been used in evaluating several mass-participation trials, involving tens of thousands of users, and we describe several use cases that describe its utility.

Using segmented concentric rings to produce a radial electric field, an initial trial experiment on ion mass separation in a magnetized plasma with low collisionality has been successfully carried out. With the increase in electric field or the decrease in magnetic field, the azimuthal flow

Background: The World Health Organization recommends at least 3 annual antibiotic mass drug administrations (MDA) where the prevalence of trachoma is.10 % in children ages 1–9 years, with coverage at least at 80%. However, the additional value of higher coverage targeted at children with multiple

Abstract. Studies of the effect of exercise programs on bone mass appear inconsistent. Our objective was to systematically review and meta-analyze randomized trials of the effect of exercise on bone mass in pre-and postmenopausal women. A computerized MEDLINE search was conducted for the years

1261 Perhaps the greatest challenge for transdermal delivery is that only a limited number of drugs are amenable to administration by this route. With current delivery methods, successful transdermal drugs have molecular masses that are only up to a few hundred Daltons, exhibit octanolwater
