Guidance on the use of bisphosphonates in solid tumours: recommendations of an international expert panel (2008)

Aapro, M., Abrahamsson, P. A., Body, J. J., Coleman, R. E., Colomer, R., Costa, L., ...

Bisphosphonates (BP) prevent, reduce, and delay cancer-related skeletal complications in patients, and have substantially decreased the prevalence of such events since their introduction. Today, a...

Local models of Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking in String Theory (2006)

Garcia-Etxebarria, I, Saad, F, Uranga, A M

We describe local Calabi-Yau geometries with two isolated singularities at which systems of D3- and D7-branes are located, leading to chiral sectors corresponding to a semi-realistic visible sector...

Quiver gauge theories at resolved and deformed singularities using dimers (2006)

García-Etxebarria, I, Saad, F, Uranga, A M

The gauge theory on a set of D3-branes at a toric Calabi-Yau singularity can be encoded in a tiling of the 2-torus denoted dimer diagram (or brane tiling). We use these techniques to describe the...

Fractional Branes and Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking (2005)

Franco, S, Hanany, A, Saad, F, Uranga, A M

We study the dynamics of fractional branes at toric singularities, including cones over del Pezzo surfaces and the recently constructed Y^{p,q} theories. We find that generically the field theories...

Norethisterone enanthate plus testosterone undecanoate for male contraception: effects of various injection intervals on spermatogenesis, reproductive hormones, testis, and prostate (2005)

Meriggiola, MC, Costantino, A, Saad, F, D'Emidio, L, Morselli-Labate, AM, Bertaccini, A, ...

The goal of this study was to find the most favorable injection interval of norethisterone enanthate (NETE) plus testosterone undecanoate (TU) in terms of gonadotropin, sperm suppression, and...

Holographic dual of the Standard Model on the throat (2005)

Cascales, J F G, Saad, F, Uranga, A M

We apply recent techniques to construct geometries, based on local Calabi-Yau manifolds, leading to warped throats with 3-form fluxes in string theory, with interesting structure at their bottom. We...

Weinfurt, K. P., Li, Y., Castel, L. D., Saad, F., Timbie, J. W., Glendenning, G. A., ...

Background: We examined the clinical relevance of skeletal-related events (SREs) for health state preferences, pain and health-related quality of life in patients with advanced prostate cancer and a...

Non-radioactive detection of 17p11.2 duplication in CMT1A: a study of 78 patients.

Schiavon, F, Mostacciuolo, M L, Saad, F, Merlini, L, Siciliano, G, Angelini, C, ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1) is a peripheral neuropathy characterised by progressive distal muscular atrophy and sensory loss with markedly decreased nerve conduction velocity, mostly...

Defining the optimal treatment strategy for localized prostate cancer patients: a survey of ongoing studies at the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group

Parulekar, W.R., McKenzie, M., Chi, K.N., Klotz, L., Catton, C., Brundage, M., ...

The designation “clinically localized prostate cancer” comprises a group of biologically heterogeneous tumours with different growth rates and risks of relapse. Because prostate cancer is...

The contemporary role of surgery in kidney cancer

Lattouf, J.B., Trinh, Q.D., Saad, F.

The diagnosis and treatment of renal cell carcinoma (rcc) has been the subject of major changes since the late 1980s. Initially, surgery was the only treatment available, but more recently, systemic...

Nuclear localisation of nuclear factor-kappaB transcription factors in prostate cancer: an immunohistochemical study

Lessard, L, Bégin, L R, Gleave, M E, Mes-Masson, A-M, Saad, F

Several reports suggest that the canonical nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) pathway is constitutively activated in a subset of prostate cancer cells. However, except for RelA (p65), little is known...
