Comparative Risk Predictions of Second Cancers After Carbon-Ion Therapy Versus Proton Therapy
No full textPurpose This work proposes a theoretical framework that enables comparative risk predictions for second cancer incidence after particle beam therapy for different ion species for individual patients, accounting for differences in relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for the competing processes of tumor initiation and cell inactivation. Our working hypothesis was that use of carbon-ion therapy instead of proton therapy would show a difference in the predicted risk of second cancer incidence in the breast for a sample of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients. Methods and Materials We generated biologic treatment plans and calculated relative predicted risks of second cancer in the breast by using two proposed methods: a full model derived from the linear quadratic model and a simpler linear-no-threshold model. Results For our reference calculation, we found the predicted risk of breast cancer incidence for carbon-ion plans-to-proton plan ratio, , to be 0.75 ± 0.07 but not significantly smaller than 1 (P=.180). Conclusions Our findings suggest that second cancer risks are, on average, comparable between proton therapy and carbon-ion therapy

No full textBiographical account of John Jackson “Jack” Helm, a law man and eventual victim of man-killer John Wesley Hardin. During his lifetime in Reconstruction Texas he served as deputy sheriff, then county sheriff, and finally captain of the notorious Texas State Police, developing a reputation as a violent and ruthless man-hunter. Helm’s aggressive enforcement of his version of “law and order” resulted in a deadly confrontation with two of his enemies in the midst of the Sutton-Taylor Feud

James Webb Throckmorton: the life and career of a southern frontier politician, 1825-1894
No full textMany scholars of the Reconstruction era have examined
James Webb Throckmorton??s political career between 1860 and
1867 and have revealed that his racist views helped hasten
the end of Radical Reconstruction in Texas. However, these
scholars have not explained the motivations behind
Throckmorton??s political ideology, nor have they explained
adequately the origins of the North Texan??s racism. This
dissertation focuses on these critical issues by examining
the development of Throckmorton??s personal and political
beliefs between 1850 and 1874. It shows that
Throckmorton??s political ideology was influenced by four
primary factors: his early experiences on the North Texas
frontier, his desire to create a community on the frontier
that was primarily designed to be a haven for white
settlers, his commitment to political conservatism which
evolved from his early affiliation with Whig political
ideology, and his quest to bring economic improvement to
the North Texas region. In contrast to other scholarly
works on Throckmorton which claim that the North Texan??s
political views were contradictory and inconsistent, this
study demonstrates that Throckmorton??s ideological beliefs
remained constant and changed little over time. His
commitment to preserving the whiteness of the frontier, to
protecting the settlers of his home region, to conservative
political ideology, and to internal improvements,
especially railroads, never wavered during one of the most
turbulent periods in Texas politics. This study also
reinforces several important conclusions about the South in
the nineteenth century: The region was never a homogeneous
society; southern racism was multifaceted; and southern
settlers migrating westward, especially those from the
Upper South, viewed the frontier as a potential escape from
the political and social dominance of large slaveholders

Single Star of the West: The Republic of Texas, 1836-1845
No full textDoes Texas’s experience as a republic make it unique among the other states? In many ways, Texas was an “accidental republic” for nearly ten years, until Texans voted overwhelmingly in favor of annexation to the United States after winning independence from Mexico.
Single Star of the West begins with the Texas Revolution and examines the emergence of a Texas identity. Next, several contributors discuss how the Republic was defended by its army, navy, and the Texas Rangers. Individual chapters focus on the early founders of Texas—Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar, and Anson Jones. Texas’s efforts at diplomacy, and persistence and transformation in its economy, also receive careful analysis. Finally, social and cultural aspects of the Texas Republic receive coverage, with discussions of women, American Indians, African Americans, Tejanos, and religion
