Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.4K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Measuring Reaction Rates

30.2K
Polarimetry finds application in chemical kinetics to measure the concentration and reaction kinetics of optically active substances during a chemical reaction. Optically active substances have the capability of rotating the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light passing through them—a feature called optical rotation. Optical activity is attributed to the molecular structure of substances. Normal monochromatic light is unpolarized and possesses oscillations of the electrical...

Mean free path and Mean free time

5.2K
Consider the gas molecules in a cylinder. They move in a random motion as they collide with each other and change speed and direction. The average of all the path lengths between collisions is known as the "mean free path."

Mixing Time01:19

Mixing Time

481
The concept of mixing time is significant in producing a uniform concrete mix with the required strength. The mixing period starts once all components are in the mixer. Initially, the mixer is charged with 10% of the water, followed by the consistent addition of solids and then 80% of the water. The remaining water is added later, within the first quarter of the mixing period. The minimum mixing time varies according to the mixer's capacity; for example, mixers with up to 1 cubic yard...

Generation Time01:22

Generation Time

1.5K
Bacterial generation time, the period required for a bacterial population to double during its exponential growth phase, serves as a critical measure of microbial growth dynamics under optimal conditions. This parameter varies significantly across bacterial species and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the availability of nutrients. For example, Escherichia coli can achieve a generation time of approximately 20 minutes, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a much...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging Workload Measurement

Background:

  • A need exists to quantify reporting workload in teaching departments.
  • Existing metrics include Pitman-Jones RVUs (Australia) and Christchurch Hospital reporting times (New Zealand).
  • The RANZCR developed a Body System Framework (BSF) for imaging study descriptors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust method for measuring radiologist workload in Australian and New Zealand teaching departments.
  • To create a common public resource by integrating existing workload measurement data.
  • To establish consensus on radiologist study ascribable times for common imaging studies.

Main Methods:

  • Reduced BSF descriptors to a generic dataset, harmonized with Christchurch data.
  • Achieved consensus on study ascribable times through iterative refinement within the RANZCR Radiologist Workload Working Group.
  • Utilized stopwatch observations and Christchurch reporting times for validation.

Main Results:

  • Developed a simplified, modality-based table of descriptors and 'best estimate' study ascribable times.
  • Integrated nuclear medicine and PET study times with radiology times for the first time in Australia and New Zealand.
  • The resulting times can be used with the Pitman-Jones methodology to estimate departmental reporting workload.

Conclusions:

  • The RANZCR 2016 study ascribable times are available for use by Australian and New Zealand specialists.
  • These times aim to facilitate further data collection for a bi-national database.
  • The developed times support RANZCR accreditation processes for teaching departments.
