A Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Different Embolization Materials on Gamma Knife Arteriovenous Malformation Dose Distributions [PDF]
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) is a treatment choice in newly diagnosed AVMs and residual AVMs following endovascular interventions. Aim of this study is to determine if commercially available liquid embolic agents reduce the radiation dose to the target due to the attenuation of the 60Co beam.

Computable Phenotypes to Characterize Changing Patient Brain Dysfunction in the Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
In the United States, more than 5 million patients are admitted annually to ICUs, with ICU mortality of 10%-29% and costs over $82 billion. Acute brain dysfunction status, delirium, is often underdiagnosed or undervalued. This study's objective was to develop automated computable phenotypes for acute brain dysfunction states and describe transitions ...
