Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Comparison of Cranial Ultrasound and Amplitude‐Integrated Electroencephalography in Predicting Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Neonates With Hypoxic–Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In neonates with hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes (NDO) remain common. Amplitude‐integrated EEG demonstrates strong prognostic value for early prediction, while cranial ultrasound (cUS) provides complementary but less definitive information.
