Assessment of dose distribution in pancreatic SABR in the presence of a metallic biliary stent using Monte Carlo modeling

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) with dose escalation is increasingly used for pancreatic cancer; however, the dosimetric impact of metallic biliary stents remains poorly characterized. Self‐expanding metal stents (SEMS), commonly placed for obstructive jaundice, contain high‐density nitinol that produces computed ...

A Critical Examination of the Usefulness of Taxonomies for Comparing Cognitive Functions Across Sports

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxonomies are widely used in sport science to classify disciplines according to structural, cognitive, and physiological demands, yet their robustness in differentiating athletes' cognitive performance remains uncertain. This study examined whether commonly applied sport classification frameworks—open versus closed skills, strategic–static ...

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 7, Page 3155-3164, July 2026.
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 7, Page 3085-3096, July 2026.
This study evaluated how globus pallidus interna (GPi) versus ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects objective voice measures in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia. GPi‐DBS was associated with greater improvements in voicing, voice breaks, and intensity modulation, while VIM‐DBS showed greater improvement in ...

An Acoustic–Phonetic Description of Hidatsa Vowels

Languages
In this study, we report on results of a preliminary acoustic–phonetic analysis of the Hidatsa vowel system. We conducted acoustic measurements of Hidatsa vowels in terms of averaged temporal and spectral properties of these phones.

The Phonology of Mid Vowels in Germanic Languages

Journal of Germanic Linguistics
In phonological theory there are multiple ways to represent mid vowels. SPE conventions maintain that they are non-[high] and non-[low]. Conversely, frameworks like Element Theory argue that mid vowels are simultaneously [high] and [low]. This article examines eight processes (and groups of processes) within the Germanic language family, which strongly
