Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose/objectives Recent technological advancements have increased efficiency for clinical deliverability of online‐adaptive‐radiotherapy (oART). Previous cone‐beam‐computed‐tomography (CBCT) generations lacked the ability to provide reliable Hounsfield‐units (HU), thus requiring oART workflows to rely on synthetic‐CT (sCT) images derived ...

Dementia and COVID-19: A Case Report and Literature Review on Pain Management
Pharmaceuticals, 2022 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic imposes an unprecedented lifestyle, dominated by social isolation. In this frame, the population to pay the highest price is represented by demented patients. This group faces the highest risk of mortality,

Methods for working with problem residents in medical physics residency education
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Medical physics residency training programs may occasionally encounter residents requiring additional intervention beyond normal training efforts. In the literature, these residents are referred to as “problem” residents. While the physician literature on the subject is valuable, this paper specifically focuses on dealing with a problem ...

Brain Energetics, Mitochondria, and Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We review current thinking about, and draw connections between, brain energetics and metabolism, mitochondria and traumatic brain injury. In addition to summarizing current thinking in these disciplines, our goal is to suggest a framework for mechanisms and pathways based on optimal energetic decisions.

Longitudinal abnormalities in white matter extracellular free water volume fraction and neuropsychological functioning in patients with traumatic brain injury [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Traumatic brain injury is a global public health problem associated with chronic neurological complications and long-term disability. Biomarkers that map onto the underlying brain pathology driving these complications are urgently needed to identify individuals at risk for poor recovery and to inform design of clinical trials of neuroprotective ...

Multi-directional dynamic model for traumatic brain injury detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex injury that is hard to predict and diagnose, with many studies focused on associating head kinematics to brain injury risk. Recently, there has been a push towards using computationally expensive finite element (FE) models of the brain to create tissue deformation metrics of brain injury. Here, we developed a 3

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

New Universal Theory of Injury Prediction and Prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and general musculo-skeletal injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. Recently, in a series of papers, I have proposed a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis as a unique cause of all above injuries.

A method to predict location of non-coup brain injuries [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Brain injuries are a major reason for mortality and morbidity following trauma in sports, work and traffic. Apart from the trauma at the site of impact (coup injury), other regions of the brain remote from the impact locations (non-coup) are commonly affected.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dietary manipulations like ketogenic diets are established interventions for recalcitrant epilepsy. However, it remains unknown whether specific macronutrient exposure through dietary environments could possibly extend to primary preventive qualities, associated with changes in epilepsy disease burden (prevalence and incidence).
