Prognostic value of plasma fibrinogen and d-dimer levels in patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer
A high plasma level of either fibrinogen or d-dimer has been shown to correlate with a poor prognosis in patients with surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to identify w...

The preoperative assessment of subpleural lung cancer movement to distinguish thoracic wall adhesion or invasion using four-dimensional computed-tomography
Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) is a relatively new technology. A review of the relevant medical literature reveals only very limited previous investigations of the utility of this technique. We re...

Differences between freshwater and seawater killifish (Oryzias latipes) in the accumulation and elimination of pentachlorophenol
Freshwater and seawater acclimated (FWA and SWA) killifish (Oryzias latipes) were exposed to pentachlorophenol (PCP) for 3–10 days. Uptake and clearance rates of FWA and SWA killifish were determined. The estimat...
