Chest X‐Ray Imaging Algorithms for Optimising the Visualisation of Medical Lines and Tubes: A Study With Student Radiographers

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Imaging post‐processing algorithms are helpful in improving the visibility of chest lines and tubes on standard chest X‐rays. Examples include the advanced edge enhancement and grey‐scale inversion, and this study evaluates the usefulness of these algorithms for enhancing visual image quality and reader confidence among student radiographers.

Surrogate measure of gut blood flow via superior mesenteric circulation on ultrasound in adults who underwent esophagectomy: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early enteral nutrition is recommended for critically ill patients. However, feeding an ischemic gastrointestinal tract with enteral nutrition may lead to gut necrosis. Although gut tolerance of enteral nutrition is assessed by various symptoms, none of them provide conclusive evidence of gut ischemia. We investigated the blood flow

Guidelines for nutrition in adults with head and neck cancer: The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Head and neck cancer represents the seventh most common cancer diagnosis globally. Maintaining sufficient nutrition is important for preventing malnutrition (undernutrition) and muscle wasting, which contribute to worse outcomes, although many patients are unable to maintain adequate oral intake throughout treatment.
