Malignant ascites is debilitating for patients with advanced cancer. As shown previously, tumour cell production of vascular endothelial growth factor might be a major cause of the formation of malignant ascites. Intraperitoneal bevacizumab could therefore be an option for symptom control in refractory ascites.Patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer and malignant ascites who had undergone paracentesis...
Cancer-testis antigens (CTA) are specifically expressed in different cancer types, but not in healthy normal tissue with the exception of testis. This tumor-restricted presence makes them an ideal target for specific cancer immunotherapy.In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), CTA of the MAGE-A family and NY-ESO-1 have been identified as independent prognostic markers for poor survival....
The aim of this study was to use the data on the distribution of aquatic macroinvertebrates obtained from 14 sites within a 413 km long stretch of the Danube River in Serbia to show the relevance of the bordering zone between the Middle and Lower Danube. A total of 68 macroinvertebrate taxa were observed. Molluscs were the major component with regard to species richness and relative abundance. Lithoglyphus naticoides...
The aim of this work is to discuss the distribution of Oligochaeta (Annelida) in the Danube River using the collections made by the Joint Danube Survey 2007 (JDS2) on more than 2800 km of the river. The basic faunistical features of the oligochaete assemblages were analysed with regard to three main sectors of the Danube (upper, middle and lower reaches, the last with the Danube Delta). A total of...
Due to recent changes in electric power system structure and market driven operational changes electric power system operation has increased in its complexity. Engineers and Energy Management System (EMS) suppliers are driven to enhance existing tools and add new tools for control room operators for consistent and faster decisions. Among the two well recognized quality indicators of electric power...
In real-time operations, online DSA applications can be used not only to perform security assessment for the current operating point but also to search boundaries of security region for operations staff to prepare for the next step generation dispatch and calculate transfer limits for market operations. This paper analyses the issues that were encountered when dealing with future re-configurations...
Increase in complexity of electric power network operations due to several factors such as changes in market conditions, increase in imports / exports and also due to growth in load, electric power networks have become more stressed in their operation. This has provided opportunity for engineers and Energy Management System (EMS) providers coming up with new approaches in providing security to the...
As more and more utilities are using / examining use of System Protection Schemes (SPS), also referred as Remedial Action Schemes (RAS), Energy Management System (EMS) vendors started looking at SPS schemes more seriously in their solutions. Formal tools are beginning to show up in the EMS industry. An important aspect in such efforts, is modelling of SPS schemes. In this paper the authors share their...
