Overall, our study highlights the difficulties in following the recommended protocol of combining routine follow-up of HIV infection with gynecological examination, which is generally not performed in infectivology units [ 5, 10].
Further development, implementation and application of patient- and disease-adapted techniques and protocols of combined modalities as for example SPECT/CT (26), PET/CT, PET/MRI and LINAC-MRI.
45– 47 Also, our results are in agreement with those of an earlier meta-analysis by Martyn-St James and Carroll, 48 who observed that structured exercise protocols of combined loading and exercise programs of low impact have the potential for preserving BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck in postmenopausal women.
Nowadays, in primary, inoperable NSCLC (stage IIIA and B), new neoadjuvant treatment protocols, consisting of combined chemotherapy and radiation, have been developed with the aim of reducing tumour extent in order to reach an operable stage.
Radiochemotherapy was carried out according to the Herskovic protocol (four courses of combined fluorouracil and cisplatin plus 5,000 cGy of radiation therapy) [ 10].
To understand the changes in cell behavior that mediate the effects of JAG on organ growth, we used recently developed methods for dynamic analysis of cell geometry and established a protocol for combined 3D analysis of cell geometry and patterns of DNA synthesis.
The present protocol of radiotherapy combined with CDGP and 5-FU is a safe and effective salvage treatment for postoperative loco-regional recurrent esophageal cancer.
The present protocol of radiotherapy combined with nedaplatin and 5-fluorouracil is a safe and effective salvage treatment for postoperative locoregional recurrent esophageal cancer.
A significant advantage of the present protocol for combined TSA-FISH and CISH for simultaneous detection of multiple mRNA species is the fact that the individual ISH techniques combined are well established, and that CISH detection provides particularly high sensitivity.
This is in line with past studies indicating that a superiority of combined protocols as compared with single-site protocols is not present immediately after rTMS treatment but only after a certain follow-up period (e.g., [ 22, 28]).
