Patients Express Satisfaction With Oral Pain Management During Shock Wave Lithotripsy

International Journal of Urological Nursing, Volume 20, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is a technique for treating kidney stones. A Danish university hospital implemented a new pain management strategy focused on oral painkillers instead of intravenous opioid analgesics. This study aimed to evaluate patients' satisfaction with the new strategy during SWL and their overall treatment satisfaction ...

Commissioning of a Monte Carlo‐based scanning proton beam for breast cancer: Incorporating LETd calculations and variable RBE models

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Using a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE = 1.1) in proton therapy may underestimate the RBE‐weighted dose in high linear energy transfer (LET) regions at the distal end of the beam, thereby limiting the ability to accurately predict clinical outcomes.

Differentiating hyperpycnal, hypopycnal and turbidity current deposits in late Quaternary glaciogenic mud

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
X‐ray CT and microscopic analysis of glaciogenic mud provide insight into the deposits of sediment‐laden density flows and reveal that strata comprise two microtextural motifs. The deposits of bottom‐hugging hyperpycnal flows and slope‐failure‐related turbidity currents are characterised by laterally continuous, sharply bounded silt‐rich and clay‐rich ...

Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle (SM) is an integral organ component in the pathophysiology of many acute and chronic diseases. But is there a ‘gold’ standard or accepted reference method for quantifying the amount and composition of human SM mass? Exploring that question led us to recognize the existence of a SM measurement paradigm that divides methods into ...

Assessing Implant Stability in Cementless Femoral Components With Different Interference Fits

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cementless total knee arthroplasty implants offer advantages over cemented implants, such as bone preservation and easier revision procedures. However, the optimal interference fit required to achieve a good press‐fit fixation, essential for both primary and long‐term stability, remains uncertain.
