Low-dose radiation-induced SUMOylation of NICD1 negatively regulates osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Various biological effects of ionizing radiation, especially continuous exposure to low-dose radiation (LDR), have attracted considerable attention. Impaired bone structure caused by LDR has been reported, but little is known about the mechanism involved

Mosquito feeding patterns in the context of West Nile and eastern equine encephalitis viruses in eastern Ontario, Canada

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 634-646, September 2026.
Mosquitoes in Eastern Ontario, Canada, readily fed on bloodmeal hosts consistent with patterns observed in other regions of North America. Enzootic and bridge vector mosquitoes fed on amplification hosts like American Robins (Turdus migratorius) together with humans, highlighting a potential route for WNV and EEEV transmission to human populations.

Probabilistic quality assurance of biopsy DVH thresholds in HDR prostate brachytherapy under localization uncertainty

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background MR‐US guided biopsies support biologic correlation in HDR prostate brachytherapy, but steep dose gradients and millimeter‐scale localization uncertainty limit the validity of nominal biopsy doses. Purpose To assess how localization uncertainty affects the robustness of biopsy DVH dose thresholds in HDR prostate brachytherapy and to ...

Application of an updated severity‐based FMEA approach to Radiation Therapy QA: A multi‐institutional exercise

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background External beam radiation therapy (RT) involves many complex steps to safely and reliably treat patients. The radiation oncology community has adopted process maps and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to analyze risk using the TG‑100 methodology, but the traditional TG‑100–endorsed risk priority number (RPN) has recognized ...

Estimation of pulmonary function from time‐resolved dynamic chest radiography using machine learning in patients with respiratory disease

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), particularly spirometry, are the reference standard for assessing airflow limitation in respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial pulmonary disease.

Performance evaluation of a new type of commercial silicon detectors for photon beam dosimetry

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Modern radiotherapy relies on advanced treatment techniques that utilize a large number of small fields, for which maintaining dosimetric accuracy is often challenging. Most vendors have introduced microdetectors suitable for small field dosimetry. Sun Nuclear has developed two silicon diodes with a sensitive volume of 0.35 mm3 that

Systematic review of physical and dosimetric criteria for managing CIEDs in radiotherapy: A medical physicist's perspective

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Aim Current radiotherapy (RT) guidelines for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) are largely based on clinical management strategies and retrospective reports. This systematic review adopts a medical physics perspective to provide a critical, quantitative analysis of the technical evidence required for developing robust safety ...

A preference‐integrated optimization system for medical physics shift scheduling

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Clinical shift scheduling for medical physicists is challenging given multidisciplinary roles and competing clinical, research, and service demands. Manual workflows often lack the flexibility and transparency needed for this complex field.

Application of a low‐cost Geiger–Müller monitoring system for clinical radiation environments

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Low‐cost Geiger–Müller detectors may support clinical radiation monitoring, but their response varies with radiation type and measurement conditions. Purpose To evaluate an Arduino‐based Geiger–Müller monitoring system in representative clinical radiation environments and determine whether condition‐specific calibration reduces ...

Repurposing a machine QA platform for medical physics residency management

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Medical physics residency programs require reliable systems for organizing rotation files, documenting educational activities, recording competency sign‐offs, and monitoring resident progression. Current residency standards from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Educational Programs (CAMPEP) require clearly defined ...
