A feasibility trial of skin surface motion-gated stereotactic body radiotherapy for treatment of upper abdominal or lower thoracic targets using a novel O-ring gantry

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose: A novel O-ring gantry can deliver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with artificial intelligence-facilitated, CT-guided online plan adaptation. It gates mobile targets by optically monitoring skin surface motion. However,

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...
