Disease relevance of Thifensulfuron-Me

• Methods and Materials: Clinical IMRT plans for lung and esophageal cancers and mesothelioma were used to investigate the accuracy of dose calculations from two commercial treatment planning systems (Pinnacle and Corvus systems) [1].
• PATIENTS AND METHODS: The DAO technique implemented in the Pinnacle treatment planning system, which is called direct machine parameter optimization (DMPO), was used to generate IMRT plans for twelve breast cancer patients [2].
• Construction of a stable non-mucoid deletion mutant of the Streptococcus equi Pinnacle vaccine strain [3].
• In a previous study (Harmony et al. 1993) we observed that the volume of lesions was correlated only with delta power, while the volume and density of edema showed a significant correlation with theta and alpha power, suggesting two independent origins of activity in the delta and theta bands in patients with space-occupying lesions [4].

Psychiatry related information on Thifensulfuron-Me

• From exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses the Meaning in Life Scale (MiLS) emerged, and includes four aspects: Harmony and Peace, Life Perspective, Purpose and Goals, Confusion and Lessened Meaning, and Benefits of Spirituality [5].
• The scales assessed values salient in many Hispanic and Asian cultures: Respect for Adults (e.g., filial piety, respeto), Interpersonal Harmony (e.g., saving face, simpatia), and Differentiated Gender Roles (e.g., machismo) [6].

High impact information on Thifensulfuron-Me

• Doses to the left ventricle (LV) and the ipsilateral lung (IL) were calculated using the EGS4 MC system and the FEH algorithm implemented on the commercially available Pinnacle treatment planning system [7].
• Using the Pinnacle 3-D planning system, normal tissue volumes of breast, ipsilateral lung, heart, sternum, and the IMN target were delineated for each patient [8].
• RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: For target coverage, the volume receiving more than 95% of the prescribed dose ranged from 77% (OTP) to 91% (Eclipse and Pinnacle), the volume receiving more than 107% ranged from 3.3% (Hyperion) to 23.2% (OTP) [9].
• This polymer was used as a solid-phase extraction material for the quantitative enrichment of five sulfonylureas (nicosulfuron, thifensulfuron-methyl, metsulfuron-methyl, sulfometuron-methyl, and chlorsulfuron) in natural water and soil samples and off-line coupled to a reversed-phase HPLC/diode array detection (HPLC/DAD) [10].
• Calculations were also performed using the pencil beam (PB) algorithm and the collapsed cone convolution (CCC) algorithm of Helax-TMS (MDS Nordion, Kanata, Cahada) version 6.0.2 and using the CCC algorithm of Pinnacle (ADAC Laboratories, Milpitas, CA, USA) version 4 [11].

Biological context of Thifensulfuron-Me

• A new multileaf collimator (MLC) model has been incorporated into version 7.4 of the Pinnacle radiotherapy treatment planning system (Philips Radiation Oncology Systems, Milpitas, CA) [12].
• This deletion mutant should serve as a useful candidate to replace Pinnacle since it cannot revert to a mucoid phenotype and can be distinguished genetically from wild type strains [3].
• An encapsulated revertant of Pinnacle was then transformed with the recombinant plasmid by electroporation and cultured under conditions to promote homologous recombination [3].
• Health promotion in general practice. Refine the approach--don't abandon the principle [13].

Anatomical context of Thifensulfuron-Me

• Cryopreservation of stallion semen collected from good and poor freezers using a directional freezing device (Harmony CryoCare--Multi Thermal Gradient 516) [14].
• Tympanic membrane images were captured and digitized using a Welch-Allyn (Skaneatales Falls, NY) VDX-300 Illumination and Imaging system with S-VHS input to a MIRO DC 30 (Pinnacle Systems, Mountain View, CA) visual board in a Power PC-based computer [15].

Associations of Thifensulfuron-Me with other chemical compounds

• Coupling of size-exclusion chromatography to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for determination of trace levels of thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl in cottonseed and cotton gin trash [16].

Gene context of Thifensulfuron-Me

• Initial fixation was achieved with spikes (255 AML TriSpike cups), by press-fitting with rim screws (427 Arthropor cups) or by press-fitting the component (83 Harris-Galante, 391 ACS Triloc+, 2,537 Duraloc, and 596 Pinnacle cups) [17].
• IMRT delivery techniques strongly influence the delivered dose distributions for the oesophagus and prostate/pelvic nodes tumour sites and these effects are not yet accounted for in the Pinnacle and the CadPlan/Helios planning systems [18].
• This study uses an anthropomorphic phantom and its computed tomography (CT) data set to evaluate monitor unit (MU) calculations using the CMS Focus Clarkson, the CMS Focus Multigrid Superposition Model, the CMS Focus FFT Convolution Model, and the ADAC Pinnacle Collapsed Cone Convolution Superposition Algorithms [19].
• The beam data, acquired with a Wellhofer chamber array and a Sun Nuclear profiler, are used for modeling in the ADAC Pinnacle system [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Thifensulfuron-Me

• The Pinnacle planning system was used to generate the plans, using four-field conformal radiotherapy, to deliver 64 Gy in 32 fractions to the PTV1 followed by a boost of 10 Gy to the PTV2 (Medical Research Council RT01 trial protocol) [21].
• Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) was coupled to reversed-phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry for the determination of thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl in cottonseed and cotton gin trash [16].
• Sequence analysis of one of these clones, designated Pinnacle HasNeg, revealed loss of the 3' end of the hasA and the 5' end of the hasB genes [3].
• This study characterized the stiffness of Pinnacle 100 cups (DePuy, Warsaw, Ind) via mechanical testing and used this information with intraoperative measurements of cup deformation to calculate the in vivo forces acting on cups inserted during hip arthroplasty in 21 patients [22].
• Planar dose maps for coincident fields from the Pinnacle radiotherapy treatment planning system are compared with planar dose maps reconstructed from radiographic film and electronic portal images [23].
