Cell biological responses of prostatic tumour cell lines to irradiation and anticancer drugs
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The "classic" prostate cell lines, DU145, PC-3 and LNCaP, have served as a valuable
cell biological model for research into prostate cancer. However, their relevance may
be limited because they derive ...
The influence of pentoxifylline on damage responses in tumour cells
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Pentoxifylline enhances the toxicity of radiation and has emerged as an
effective modulator of the radiation response of tumour cells. The molecular
mechanisms involved in the enhancement of radiotoxicity ...
Tuned aperture computed tomography (TACT) : an investigation on the factors associated with its image quality for caries detection
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this investigation was to explore the multiple variables involved in TACT®
image generation in an attempt to optimize this imaging modality for the diagnostic task of
primary dental ...
Brain SPECT in patients with neuropsychiatric SLE : the additional value of semi-quantitative analysis
(Stellenbosch : University Stellenbosch, 2009-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: There is conflicting data on the value of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) for the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE). Visual assessment of brain SPECT scans is the standard ...
The effect of reconstruction algorithms (iterative versus filtered backprojection) on the diagnosis of single pulmonary nodules using Thallium-201 and Technetium-99m MIBI SPECT
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study involved 33 patients, 19 men and 14 women. The age range was wide (20-90
years) and median age was 57 years. These patients had a single pulmonary nodule (SPN)
defined radiologically as a ...
The influence of reconstruction and attenuation correction techniques on the detection of hypoperfused lesions in brain SPECT images
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Functional brain imaging using single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) has widespread applications in the case of Alzheimers disease, acute stroke,
transient ischaemic attacks, epilepsy, ...
Examination of irradiated neuroblastoma and neuroepithelial cell lines for the interrelationship between cell survival, micronucleation, apoptosis and DNA repair
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Predictive assays are of key importance in clinical radiotherapy, chemotherapy
and toxicology. Prior to exposing malignant tissues to irradiation or drugs in
the clinic, a good understanding of the ...
The influence of DNA damage, DNA repair and chromatin structure on radiosensitivity
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The factors which control radiosensitivity are of vital importance for the
understanding of cell inactivation and for cancer therapy. Cell cycle blocks, total
induced DNA damage, DNA repair, apoptosis ...
Morphine and chronic cancer pain
(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 2001-10)
Cancer pain can be broken down into the following categories: (i),pain caused by the cancer process
itself, i.e. bony invasion or nerve compression or infiltration that is likely to present with the features of acute pain; ...
