Hydroxycarbamide, a therapeutic modality which has shown benefit in TI by several studies through fetal hemoglobin induction [ 36], was only sparingly used by the physicians at our center, and its use was restricted to two patients who refused further transfusions following transfusion reactions.
From a clinical perspective, there are clear advantages of an exercise modality which has flow 'built-in', since flow achievement is also strongly related to repeat activity and continued use [ 37, 52].
A previous study [10] about training on medical imaging concluded that when compared to CT and MRI, mammography was a less valued imaging modality, which has also been highlighted in other European studies [11, 27].
FIR is a non-invasive therapeutic modality which has been reported to improve access flow rates and reduce the incidence of AVF malfunction in haemodialysis patients.
Our results show that apparent motion in the tactile modality, which has a high temporal resolution, can likewise be influenced by auditory timing.
Three consecutive days of intravenous treatment has been selected as a safe and convenient therapy modality, which has the advantage to minimise patient's hospitalisation.
The children's parents greatly appreciate this treatment modality, which has a positive impact on the family's quality of life.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) [ 1, 2] is a non-invasive, non-contact, high-resolution, high-sensitive and depth-resolved optical imaging modality, which has been widely applied in many biomedical imaging fields such as ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology and embryology.
Postoperative external beam radiation therapy was the first RT modality, which has been investigated.
Angiography and embolisation is another modality which has been reported in patients with active bleeding who are not amenable to endoscopic therapy and are poor surgical candidates [ 15].
