Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative Formation of Inorganic-Organic Interfaces in the Synthesis of Silicate Mesostructures
Alain Monnier,Ferdi Schüth,Ferdi Schüth,Ferdi Schüth,Qisheng Huo,Dinesh Kumar,David I. Margolese,R.S. Maxwell,Galen D. Stucky,M. Krishnamurty,Pierre Petroff,A. Firouzi,Michael T. Janicke,Bradley F. Chmelka +13 more
TL;DR: Model Q230 proposed by Mariani and his co-workers satisfactorily fits the x-ray data collected on the cubic mesostructure material and suggests that the silicate polymer forms a unique infinite silicate sheet sitting on the gyroid minimal surface and separating the surfactant molecules into two disconnected volumes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidance on the use of bisphosphonates in solid tumours: recommendations of an international expert panel
Matti Aapro,Per-Anders Abrahamsson,Jean-Jacques Body,Robert E. Coleman,Ramon Colomer,Luís Costa,L. Crino,Luc Dirix,Michael Gnant,Julie R. Gralow,Peyman Hadji,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,Walter Jonat,Allan Lipton,Alain Monnier,Alexander H.G. Paterson,René Rizzoli,Fred Saad,Beat Thürlimann +18 more
TL;DR: An interdisciplinary expert panel of clinical oncologists and of specialists in metabolic bone diseases assessed the widespread evidence and information on the efficacy of BP in the metastatic and nonmetastatic setting, as well as ongoing research on the adjuvant use of BP and recommends amino-bisphosphonates for patients with metastatic bone disease from breast cancer and zoledronic acid for Patients with other solid tumours as primary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective inhibition of aromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss by zoledronic acid in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer receiving adjuvant letrozole: ZO-FAST study results
Nigel J Bundred,Ian Campbell,Neville Davidson,Richard H. DeBoer,Holger Eidtmann,Alain Monnier,Patrick Neven,Gunter von Minckwitz,J. Miller,N. Schenk,Robert E. Coleman +10 more
TL;DR: Letrozole is safe and effective in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor‐positive early breast cancer, but long‐term aromatase inhibitor use may cause bone loss and increase fracture risk, so an immediate or delayed strategy of bone protection therapy with zoledronic acid is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Transitions in Mesostructured Silica/Surfactant Composites: Surfactant Packing and the Role of Charge Density Matching
Sarah H. Tolbert,Christopher C. Landry,Galen D. Stucky,Bradley F. Chmelka,Poul Norby,Jonathan C. Hanson,Alain Monnier +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used time-resolved X-ray diffraction to follow phase transitions in nanostructured silica/surfactant composites in real time under hydrothermal conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase Transformations in Mesostructured Silica/Surfactant Composites. Mechanisms for Change and Applications to Materials Synthesis
Christopher C. Landry,Sarah H. Tolbert,Karl W. Gallis,Alain Monnier,Galen D. Stucky,Poul Norby,Jonathan C. Hanson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase transformation of the hexagonal mesostructure MCM-41 to the cubic mesostructures (MCM-48) was examined by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by XRD of products from bulk transformation experiments in Parr autoclaves under conditions of high pH and temperatures between 100 and 190 °C.
