Development and Initial Evaluation of an In‐House Paediatric CT Immobilisation Device
Paediatric imaging often requires repeat scans due to motion artefacts, increasing radiation exposure and discomfort. This study developed a cost‐effective in‐house CT immobilisation device, which showed comparable image quality to commercial devices but highlighted the need for improvements in stability and infection control.

Postoperative Weight Gain, Due to Fluid Retention After Ovarian Cancer Surgery—How Much Is too Much?
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer patients are associated with impaired survival. Here, we investigated the association between postoperative weight gain due to fluid retention and the development of complications and anastomotic leakage (AL).
