The authors stated that this prolongation of local electrograms is suggestive of microscopic conduction abnormalities.
In addition to being the most common cause of infectious death among cancer patients [ 11], an episode of pneumonia can severely impact the course of RT by requiring treatment interruption or prolongation, thus jeopardizing local control [ 12].
These findings highlight a challenge for radiation oncologists as pneumonia has a negative effect on RT, and often necessitates treatment interruption or prolongation, thus jeopardizing local control and raising the risk of tumor repopulation [ 12].
The use of prolonged-action corticosteroids in combination with local anesthetics may cause a sufficient prolongation of the time of analgesia to inhibit already established secondary sensitizations, with consequent permanent or greatly prolonged analgesia, as was the case for the present patient.
In the univariate model, trastuzumab after completion of local therapy resulted in a significant prolongation of OS compared with the control group of 37 patients without anti-HER2 treatmenttreaftert afteradiotherapyP<0.001.001).
A prolongation and increase in local Ca2+ influx (Endo 1977) and increased muscle stiffness (Rubinstein et al. 1998) after the first twitch are thought to be responsible for the mechanism, both being properties of the muscle that were altered by the injury.
When this is caused by the number and/or localization of metastases, local ablative techniques such as cryosurgery or radiofrequency ablation may offer an alternative treatment that produces localized intrahepatic tumour destruction and possibly results in a prolongation of survival.

This leads to a robust prolongation operator that has both local projection and uniform boundedness properties for most of nonnested finite element methods in literature.
22 At a median follow-up of 12.5 months, a 56% reduction in risk of progression was identified (HR 0.44; 95% CI 0.36 0.53; P<0.0001, local assessment), corresponding to a 4.2-month prolongation in median progression-free survival from 3.2 months to 7.4 months (Table 1).
