Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 74-84, March 2025.
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...

Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for Spain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assesses long‐term changes in dry‐spell hazard probabilities across Spain (1961–2024) using a novel non‐stationary extreme value framework applied to daily precipitation records from a dense observational network. Results show that dry‐spell duration and associated return levels are dominantly stationary, with non‐stationary models providing

Validation of model predicting furcation involvement in newly crowned teeth—A 5‐year retrospective follow‐up

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to perform a prediction model validation for furcation involvement (FI) risk in molars receiving a new fixed prosthesis (FP) using a unique cohort assessed at three time points. Methods Following the Oral Health Statistical (OHStat) reporting guidelines, this cohort study examined 181 patients (203 molars) from 2018–

Association between periodontitis and oral health–related quality of life in patients with systemic conditions: A meta‐analysis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate whether periodontitis is associated with impaired oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adults with systemic conditions. Methods Five databases were searched to identify observational studies that tested the association between periodontitis (diagnosed by clinical ...

Development and External Validation of a Postoperative Risk Score for Venous Thromboembolism in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a major complication in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We aimed to develop and externally validate an early postoperative risk score to identify EOC patients at increased risk of VTE after debulking surgery.

Optimized Reduced Field of View and Fat Suppression Methods for Interleaved Multislice In Vivo Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Slice interleaving, a limited phase encode (PE) field of view (FOV), and effective fat suppression are vital for efficient cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) with minimal artifacts. This study aimed to optimize reduced FOV and fat suppression methods for interleaved multislice cDTI to improve signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and ...
