Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid Gel Rectal Spacers in MRI‐Guided Brachytherapy for Gynaecological Cancers: A Prospective Feasibility Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This prospective study investigated the feasibility of stabilised hyaluronic acid gel as a rectal spacer in gynaecological cancer brachytherapy. In twelve patients, the spacer was successfully inserted into the rectovaginal space without serious adverse events, had high visibility on MRI, increased the target‐to‐rectum distance compared with no spacer ...

Exploring Raman Spectroscopy as a Detection Tool for Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes Mellitus in Fingernails

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Endogenous constituents vary between fingernails of healthy, cardiovascular and diabetic participants. Raman spectroscopy yields a biochemical fingerprint of key endogenous constituents and disease‐related biomarkers. Combined with machine learning algorithms, Raman spectroscopy can classify healthy, cardiovascular and diabetic based on their Raman ...

Ultrasound‐Guided Liposomal vs. Conventional Bupivacaine Erector Spinae Plane Block Plus Gabapentin for Postherpetic Neuralgia

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety of ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) using liposomal (LB) versus conventional bupivacaine (CB), each plus standardized gabapentin, in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). A total of 116 PHN patients were randomized to ESPB‐LB or ESPB‐CB; both groups received standardized ...
