This paper presents a novel iterative greedy reconstruction algorithm for practical compressed sensing (CS), called the sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (SAMP). Compared with other state-of-the-art… (More)
PURPOSE
To analyze the patterns of failure, the toxicity profile, and the factors influencing efficacy of stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

BACKGROUND
To assess the prevalence, severity and morbidity of dysphagia following concurrent chemoradiation for head and neck cancer.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Patients who underwent chemotherapy and… (More)
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a well known hemostatic complication of solid tumors. We evaluated the occurrence of DIC in 1117 patients with solid tumors. Of these patients, 76… (More)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
We would like to assess the prevalence of aspiration before and following chemoradiation for head and neck cancer.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
We reviewed retrospectively the… (More)
The incidence of oropharyngeal cancers is rising worldwide in both nonsmokers and nondrinkers. Epidemiology studies suggest a strong association between human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 infection,… (More)
Hydrodynamic imaging using the lateral line plays a critical role in fish behavior. To engineer such a biologically inspired sensing system, we developed an artificial lateral line using MEMS… (More)
PURPOSE
To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) associated with dysphagia after head-and-neck cancer treatment.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
Of a total population of 104, a retrospective analysis of 73… (More)
Management of early stages non-small cell lung carcinoma has traditionally been surgery with radiation selected for medically inoperable patients. Recent emergence of stereotactic body radiation… (More)
BACKGROUND
The standard of care for locally advanced head and neck carcinoma usually has been surgery followed by radiation therapy. Patient survival using this approach has been reported to be poor.… (More)
