Patient Dose Optimisation of Abdominopelvic Protocols During X‐Ray Imaging

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluates organ doses in abdominopelvic radiography for both erect and supine positions, addressing dose optimisation concerns in Ghana. Using CalDose X and thermoluminescence dosimeters, organ doses and image quality were analysed, revealing significant dose reductions with optimised exposure parameters (70 kVp, 10 mAs, 110 cm FDD).

A Novel Model System to Identify Cellular and Molecular Defects Underlying Rare Genetic Disorders. [PDF]

Exp Dermatol
ABSTRACT Ankyloblepharon‐ectodermal defects‐cleft lip/palate (AEC) is a disorder caused by autosomal‐dominant mutations in the TP63 gene. AEC is characterised by the presence of severe and painful skin erosions that can take years to heal. Current treatment options for these devastating lesions are limited, highlighting the need for new therapeutic ...

Proposed Diagnostic Reference Levels for Frequently Performed Paediatric Radiographic Examinations

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Paediatric diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are weight‐stratified dose levels for typical medical imaging examinations for broadly defined types of equipment. The 75th percentiles of the FRLs across the nine X‐ray units from five centres in Australia were calculated as the proposed Local DRLs (LDRLs).

Bound-state effects for dark matter with Higgs-like mediators

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
In this paper we study the impact of a scalar exchange on the dark matter relic abundance by solving a plasma-modified Schrödinger equation. A simplified model is considered where a Majorana dark matter fermion is embedded in a U(1)′ extension of the ...

Inhibition of influenza virus infection by garlic oil and juice in cell culture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Influenza virus infections are a significant global health and economic burden. Garlic (Allium sativum) has been proposed to have antimicrobial properties. Raw garlic consumption has been widely advocated on the internet to fight influenza by many public health agencies, information of which is easily accessible by the public. There

Autophagy Plays a Suppressive Role in Bladder Tumor Formation in an Orthotopic Mouse Model and Bladder Cancer Patient Specimens

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autophagy plays either a suppressing or promoting role during tumor development. Clarifying the role of autophagy in bladder tumorigenesis both in vitro and in vivo is crucial for developing novel therapeutic strategies through manipulating autophagy activity.
