Multicolour LEDs in educational demonstrations of physics and optometry [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
LED light sources are used to design experimental setup for university courses teaching human color vision. The setup allows to demonstrate various vision characteristics and to apply for student practical exercises to study eye spectral sensitivity in different spectral range using heterochromatic flicker photometry.

“It's the Exact Same Treatment … Except Only 5 Min Away”: A RE‐AIM Evaluation of a Speech‐Language Pathology Shared‐Care Model for Rural Patients With Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Challenges accessing post‐treatment speech‐language pathology (SLP) services can add to treatment burden for rural patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate a shared‐care SLP service designed to support local SLP access for patients with HNC, using the RE‐AIM framework.

Incidence and Site‐Specific Risk Factors of Jaw Osteoradionecrosis for Head and Neck Patients in the IMRT/VMAT Era: Evidence From a Large, Hospital‐Based Cohort

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains a serious late complication of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. Although intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) are expected to reduce ORN risk, large real‐world data in the modern era are limited.
