NMR-Investigations of Homogeneous Hydrogenation Reactions using Para Hydrogen
Homogeneous hydrogenations with ortho- or para-enriched hydrogen result in strongly enhanced 1H-NMR-polarization signals due to symmetry breaking during the reactions. Polarization is observed only, if the transf...

Polarization Behaviour of NH3 at 3.5 Tesla and in the Frozen Spin Mode
With The the new Bonn Frozen Spin Target we investigated the polarization behaviour of 14NH3 in a magnetic field of 3.54 Tesla and at a temperature of 70 mK. We got a maximum polarization of +94 ±2.5% at a fre...

Neo-Adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with oral and oro-pharyngeal T3/T4 carcinomas
We presented in 1987, a randomized trial for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before radiotherapy, called INSERM [1] trial, dealing with 14 patients with oral and oro-pharyngeal T3/T4 carcinomas. Then, we concluded t...

Neo-Adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer Study of 477 evaluable patients with primary breast cancers treated between 1980 and 1992
Neo-Adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer means that chemotherapy is used as the first therapeutic tool and that the locoregional treatment is considered as an adjuvant. The term has been contested and others...
