Assessing proton plans with three different beam delivery systems versus photon plans for head and neck tumors

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare plan quality among photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with robustness using three different proton beam delivery systems with various spot size (σ) ranges: cyclotron‐generated proton beams (CPBs) (σ: 2.7–7.0 mm), linear accelerator proton beams (LPBs) (σ: 2.9–5.5 mm),

Vasovagal cardiac arrest during spinal anesthesia for Cesarean section -A case report- [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
The vasovagal response is characterized by an inappropriate combination of bradycardia and paradoxical vasodilation. During a general or neuraxial anesthesia-induced sympathectomy, a sudden vagal activation and/or an acute reduction in sympathetic tone ...

Improving organ dose sparing in left‐sided breast cancer with yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy: A dosimetric comparison to conventional and intensity modulated radiation therapy approaches

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To assess the dose‐sparing capabilities of a yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy (YL_VMAT) beam setup for adjacent organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with 3D‐conventional radiation therapy (3D‐CRT), intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conventional VMAT for radiation therapy in left‐sided breast cancer patients.

Machine Learning and Feature Engineering for Predicting Pulse Status during Chest Compressions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Objective: Current resuscitation protocols require pausing chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to check for a pulse. However, pausing CPR during a pulseless rhythm can worsen patient outcome. Our objective is to design an ECG-based algorithm that predicts pulse status during uninterrupted CPR and evaluate its performance ...

An extension to the OVH concept for knowledge‐based dose volume histogram prediction in lung tumor volumetric‐modulated arc therapy

open access: yesJournal 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

Risk analysis of the Unity 1.5T MR‐Linac adapt‐to‐shape workflow

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The adapt‐to‐shape (ATS) workflow on the Unity MR‐Linac (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) allows for full replanning including recontouring and reoptimization5. Additional complexity to this workflow is added when the adaptation involves the use of MIM Maestro (MIM Software, Cleveland, OH) software in conjunction with ...

Recurrent asystole during laryngoscopy – A nightmare for the anesthesiologists

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation is usually transient, but it may be more pronounced and unpredictable in certain group of patients. Bradycardia and asystole during laryngoscopy is usually a rare manifestation compared to hypertension ...
