Neutron-induced damage simulations: Beyond defect production cross-section, displacement per atom and iron-based metrics
Nuclear interactions can be the source of atomic displacement and post-short-term cascade annealing defects in irradiated structural materials. Such quantities are derived from, or can be correlated to, nuclea...

A phase II study of bevacizumab and erlotinib after radiation and temozolomide in MGMT unmethylated GBM patients
Survival for glioblastoma (GBM) patients with an unmethyated MGMT promoter in their tumor is generally worse than methylated MGMT tumors, as temozolomide (TMZ) response is limited. How to better treat patients wi...

Effect of Charge-balancing Species on Sm3+ Incorporation in Calcium Vanadinite
Apatites are often seen as good potential candidates for the immobilization of halide-rich wastes. In particular, phosphate apatites have received much attention in recent years, however, their synthesis often...

Charge Compensation in Trivalent Doped Ca3(SiO4)Cl2
Calcium chlorosilicate (Ca3(SiO4)Cl2) is seen as a potential host phase for the immobilization of Cl-rich wastes arising from pyrochemical reprocessing, a waste stream often containing a mix of both di- and triva...

Pressureless Sintering of Sodalite Waste-forms for the Immobilization of Pyroprocessing Wastes
Sodalite (Na8[AlSiO4]6Cl2), a naturally occurring Cl-containing mineral, has long been regarded as a potential immobilization matrix for the chloride salt wastes arising from pyrochemical reprocessing operations,...

Molten Salt Synthesis of Zirconolite Polytypes
Zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7), a durable and compositionally flexible titanate ceramic for the immobilization of separated actinides, is currently the UK’s preferred candidate phase for the immobilization of plutonium ...

Calcium Vanadinite: An Alternative Apatite Host for Cl-rich Wastes
Apatites are often seen as good potential candidates for the immobilization of halide-rich wastes and, in particular, chlorapatite (Ca5(PO4)3Cl) has received much attention in recent years. However, synthesis of ...

Towards a Silicate Matrix for the Immobilisation of Halide-rich Wastes
Single-phase calcium chlorosilicate and sodalite, two potential ceramic waste-forms for the immobilisation of CaCl2-based pyroprocessing wastes, have been fabricated at temperatures below the volatilisation point...

Mood disturbance in glioma patients
Patients diagnosed with primary brain tumors such as glioma experience psychological distress throughout the illness trajectory. Determining which patient characteristics are associated with more severe mood d...

Open AccessTwo phase II trials of temozolomide with interferon-α2b (pegylated and non-pegylated) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme
Because of the poor outcomes for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and some laboratory and clinical evidence of efficacy using interferon in GBM, we assessed the toxicity and efficacy of t...

Phase II study of carboplatin and erlotinib (Tarceva, OSI-774) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma
Targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) may be effective in a subset of glioblastoma patients. This phase II study assessed the clinical activity of erlotinib plus carboplatin and to determine mo...

Validation of the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor Module (MDASI-BT)
Symptom occurrence has been shown to predict treatment course and survival in patients with solid tumors. Primary brain tumor (PBT) patients are unique in the occurrence of neurologic symptoms. Currently, no i...
