Concomitant CIS on TURBT does not impact oncological outcomes in patients treated with neoadjuvant or induction chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy
(2019-01-23)Background: Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for muscle invasive bladder cancer improves all-cause and cancer specific survival. We aimed to evaluate whether the detection of carcinoma in situ (CIS) at the ... -
Concordance, adherence or competence – device use and therapeutic outcomes in older patients
(2013)When looking at the needs of the older patient, several issues arise related to the use of medical devices and technologies. Making allowances for physical capacity and cognitive ability, for example, can be crucial to ... -
Concrete examples (using CSP) of process algebra templates and their children
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)This paper describes the concepts of template, class, object and type between processes defined using the process algebra CSP. We are primarily concerned with the issue of reuse and behavioural compatibility, particularly ... -
Concrete examples for templates and their children
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)This paper examines the concepts of template, class, object and type using concrete examples from the theory of sets and natural numbers. The descriptions of these concepts are taken from the Reference Model of ISO's Open ... -
The concreteness effect in healthy ageing; An attenuation or preservation?
(2019)Previous research has shown that adults process concrete words faster when they share a taxonomic (similarity) relationship, and process abstract words faster when sharing a thematic (association) relationship (Crutch, ... -

Concurrent CCS - an introduction
(University of Hertfordshire, 1991)This paper introduces an extension to CCS which models the concept of simultaneity of actions. In order to express simultaneity, we require the semantics of our language to allow agents the facility to proceed concurrently. ... -
Concurrent formation of supermassive stars and globular clusters : implications for early self-enrichment
(2018-08-01)We present a model for the concurrent formation of globular clusters (GCs) and supermassive stars (SMSs, ≳10 3M ⊙) to address the origin of the HeCNONaMgAl abundance anomalies in GCs. GCs form in converging gas flows and ... -
Concurrent growth rate and transcript analyses reveal essential gene stringency in Escherichia coli
(2009-06-26)BACKGROUND: Genes essential for bacterial growth are of particular scientific interest. Many putative essential genes have been identified or predicted in several species, however, little is known about gene expression ... -
Concurrent non-deferred reference counting on the microgrid : first experiences
(2011)We present a first evaluation of our novel approach for non-deferred reference counting on the Microgrid many-core architecture. Non-deferred reference counting is a fundamental building block of implicit heap management ... -
Concurrent participation in screening for cervical, breast, and bowel cancer in England
(2019-09-16)Objectives: To determine how many women participate in all three recommended cancer screening programmes (breast, cervical, and bowel). During their early 60s, English women receive an invitation from all the three programmes. ... -
Concurrent supermassive black hole and galaxy growth : linking environment and nuclear activity in z=2.23 alpha emitters
(2013-03-10)We present results from a approximate to 100 ks Chandra observation of the 2QZ Cluster 1004+00 structure at z = 2.23 (hereafter 2QZ Clus). 2QZ Clus was originally identified as an overdensity of four optically-selected ... -
Concurrent Use of Prescription Drugs and Herbal Medicinal Products Among Older Adults
(2020-01-09)Background: Polypharmacy is a recognised patient safety risk, with older adults at greater risk due to co-morbidities and reduced clearance of drugs due to ageing. However, very little is known about the concurrent use of ... -
Concurrent use of prescription drugs and herbal medicinal products in older adults : A systematic review protocol
(2016-04-21)Background: There has been a global increase in the use of herbal medicinal products (HMPs). About a quarter of UK adults use HMPs, bought over the counter by self-prescription and often not disclosed to healthcare ... -
Concurrent use of prescription drugs and herbal medicinal products in older adults: A systematic review
(2017-12-01)The use of herbal medicinal products (HMPs) is common among older adults. However, little is known about concurrent use with prescription drugs as well as the potential interactions associated with such combinations. ... -
Concussion-associated gene variant COMT rs4680 is associated with elite rugby athlete status
(2023-09-01)Objective: Concussions are common match injuries in elite rugby and reports exist of reduced cognitive function and long-term health consequences that can interrupt or end a playing career and produce continued ill health. ... -
Concussion-Associated Polygenic Profiles of Elite Male Rugby Athletes
(2022-05-04)Due to the high-velocity collision-based nature of elite rugby league and union, the risk of sustaining a concussion is high. Occurrence of and outcomes following a concussion are probably affected by the interaction of ... -
Conditional reasoning in language and logic : transfer of non-logical heuristics?
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)Historically, the use of natural language based techniques for the purpose of software specification has tended to result in the production of ambiguous or verbose system descriptions. It is thought that this imprecision ... -
Conditions for infection of winter oilseed rape leaves by conidia and ascospores of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, causing light leaf spot
(1999)The optimum temperature for infection of oilseed rape leaves by P. brassicae conidia was c.16°C; an increase of temperature above the optimum and a decrease of temperature below the optimum decreased infection by conidia. ... -
Conducting qualitative research with palliative care patients : Applying Hammick's research ethics wheel
(2010-02-01)This paper discusses the particular ethical issues that are present when attempting to undertake research involving patients accessing palliative care for cancer. It focuseson the use of Hammick's research ethics wheel ...
