COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF CARBON-FIBER-REINFORCED POLYETHERETHERKETONE (CFR-PEEK) SPINAL HARDWARE FOR PROTON AND PHOTON PLANNING

Comprehensive Evaluation of Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) Spinal Hardware for Proton and Photon Planning

Purpose: To evaluate a novel spine implant, carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK), for proton and photon treatment planning.Materials and Methods: We compared target coverage and sparing of organs-at-risk (OARs) for a spinal phantom with 4 different spine Jumpsuits configurations: (a) normal (no implant); (b) Titanium; (c) CFR-PEE

Zebrafish as a prodigious tool in neuropsychiatric research

Abstract Background The zebrafish is the system of choice in developmental biology and genetics in the recent years.Zebrafish genetics is improving, and this opens up new ways to understand genetic mechanisms.The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is used for investigation of developmental pathways and neurobiology because of its progression Bedding and physi
