TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of Late Quaternary sediments of the Sea of Marmara Basin (SMB) indicates that it was a freshwater lake during the late glacial to ca 12,000-13,000 years BP, depositing sediments with a Neoeuxinian fauna characteristic of the Black Sea Basin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the brand personalities of places and examine the applicability of this concept for city brands by employing a factor analysis method based on data collected from 898 college students.
Abstract: Purpose – In recent years, brand personality as a branding construct has received considerable interest, which has led to a significant effort to develop tools to measure the personality of brands. Although the majority of these studies have focused on the brand personality of conventional product brands, the new boundaries of marketing obviously necessitate the application of branding constructs to non‐traditional products such as places. This study aims to focus on brand personalities of places, and to examine the applicability of this concept for city brands.Design/methodology/approach – The research employs a factor analysis method based on data collected from 898 college students.Findings – The findings of the study reveal that differentiating places with regard to their brand personalities is achievable. The paper introduces two new dimensions of brand personality for cities.Originality/value – The extraction of two new factors that contribute to place brand personalities is considered a major contr...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the production techniques, characterization and physical stability of these systems including destabilizing factors and principles of drug loading, then considered aspects and benefits of SLN and NLC as colloidal drug carriers.
Abstract: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have attracted increasing attention by various research groups and companies since the early 1990s. Their advantages over existing traditional carriers have been clearly documented. In addition, modified SLN have been described which are nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) composed of liquid lipid blended with a solid lipid to form a nanostructured solid particle matrix. NLC combine controlled release characteristics with some advantages over SLN. This paper reviews the production techniques, characterization and physical stability of these systems including destabilizing factors and principles of drug loading, then considers aspects and benefits of SLN and NLC as colloidal drug carriers.

TL;DR: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved the healing responses in patients with refractory radiation proctitis, generating an absolute risk reduction of 32% between the groups after the initial allocation.
Abstract: Purpose Cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy remain at life-long risk of radiation-induced injury to normal tissues. We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen for refractory radiation proctitis. Methods and Materials Patients with refractory radiation proctitis were randomized to hyperbaric oxygen at 2.0 atmospheres absolute (Group 1) or air at 1.1 atmospheres absolute (Group 2). The sham patients were subsequently crossed to Group 1. All patients were re-evaluated by an investigator who was unaware of the treatment allocation at 3 and 6 months and Years 1–5. The primary outcome measures were the late effects normal tissue-subjective, objective, management, analytic (SOMA-LENT) score and standardized clinical assessment. The secondary outcome was the change in quality of life. Results Of 226 patients assessed, 150 were entered in the study and 120 were evaluable. After the initial allocation, the mean SOMA-LENT score improved in both groups. For Group 1, the mean was lower ( p = 0.0150) and the amount of improvement nearly twice as great (5.00 vs. 2.61, p = 0.0019). Similarly, Group 1 had a greater portion of responders per clinical assessment than did Group 2 (88.9% vs. 62.5%, respectively; p = 0.0009). Significance improved when the data were analyzed from an intention to treat perspective ( p = 0.0006). Group 1 had a better result in the quality of life bowel bother subscale. These differences were abolished after the crossover. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved the healing responses in patients with refractory radiation proctitis, generating an absolute risk reduction of 32% (number needed to treat of 3) between the groups after the initial allocation. Other medical management requirements were discontinued, and advanced interventions were largely avoided. Enhanced bowel-specific quality of life resulted.
