(AMER ASSOC PHYSICISTS MEDICINE AMER INST PHYSICS, 2013-04)Purpose: In Part 1 of this two-part work, predictions for light transport in powdered-phosphor screens are made, based on three distinct approaches. Predictions of geometrical optics-based ray tracing through an explicit ... -
Optical photon transport in powdered-phosphor scintillators. Part II. Calculation of single-scattering transport parameters
(AMER ASSOC PHYSICISTS MEDICINE AMER INST PHYSICS, 2013-04)Purpose: Monte Carlo methods based on the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) have previously been used to model light transport in powdered-phosphor scintillator screens. Physically motivated guesses or, alternatively, the ... -
Optimal Threshold for a Positive Hybrid Capture 2 Test for Detection of Human Papillomavirus: Data from the ARTISTIC Trial
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2010-02)We present data on the use of the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) test for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) with different thresholds for positivity within a primary screening setting and as a method of ... -
Optimizing the Timing of Salvage Postprostatectomy Radiotherapy and the Use of Concurrent Hormonal Therapy for Prostate Cancer.
(2018-05-15)Context Currently, salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is the only known curative intervention for men with recurrent disease following prostatectomy. Critical issues in the optimal selection and management of men being considered ... -
Oral beclomethasone dipropionate is an effective treatment for immune checkpoint inhibitor induced colitis.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-09-01)INTRODUCTION: Systemic corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for immune checkpoint inhibitor induced (CPI) colitis but are associated with complications including life-threatening infection. The topically acting ... -
An organoid-based CRISPR-Cas9 screen for regulators of intestinal epithelial maturation and cell fate.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2023-07-14)Generation of functionally mature organs requires exquisite control of transcriptional programs governing cell state transitions during development. Despite advances in understanding the behavior of adult intestinal stem ... -
Overall survival in the OlympiA phase III trial of adjuvant olaparib in patients with germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2 and high-risk, early breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-10-10)BACKGROUND: The randomized, double-blind OlympiA trial compared 1 year of the oral poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, olaparib, to matching placebo as adjuvant therapy for patients with pathogenic or ... -

Overall Survival With Maintenance Olaparib at a 7-Year Follow-Up in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Ovarian Cancer and a BRCA Mutation: The SOLO1/GOG 3004 Trial.
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2022-09-09)PURPOSE: In SOLO1/GOG 3004 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01844986), maintenance therapy with the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib provided a sustained progression-free survival benefit in patients with ... -
Overexpression of Claspin and Timeless protects cancer cells from replication stress in a checkpoint-independent manner.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-02-22)Oncogene-induced replication stress (RS) promotes cancer development but also impedes tumor growth by activating anti-cancer barriers. To determine how cancer cells adapt to RS, we have monitored the expression of different ... -
