Effects of the heart-lung machine on melatonin metabolism and mood disturbances☆ [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2008 Cardiothoracic surgery using the heart-lung machine (HLM) provokes a pronounced endocrine-metabolic response leading to circadian rhythm disturbances that affect postoperative morbidity. Focus has been laid on changes in melatonin metabolism. The effects of an extra-corporal artificial circulation have not been adequately addressed.Seventeen patients ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment planning allows a compromise between a sufficient coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and a simultaneous sparing of organs‐at‐risk (OARs). Particularly in the case of lung tumors, deciding whether it is possible or worth spending more time on further improvements of a treatment

Accounting for TLD response to CBCT protocols in external beam radiotherapy dose monitoring
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose LiF thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are commonly used in radiation therapy to verify the delivered dose. Examples include dose verification for complicated treatment setups or cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). TLDs may be present for both the pre‐treatment imaging kilovoltage (kV) beam and the megavoltage (MV ...
