Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is the only currently available, convenient, noninvasive, ethically acceptable method of assessing airway acidity (pH), especially when it comes to repeated sampling from acutely ill patients. It remains necessary to interpret the data cautiously, because acid at any level in the airway can lead to EBC acidification, and

Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 74-84, March 2025.
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...
