Cost Utility Analysis of Fluticasone Exhalation Delivery System Versus Budesonide Nasal Irrigation for Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is managed after sinus surgery with topical corticosteroids. Given limited distribution of nasal steroid sprays, patients have the option of either steroid nasal irrigation (SNI) or exhalation delivery system with fluticasone (EDS‐FLU).

Optimization of Replanning Processes for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Plans at Risk of QA Failure Predicted by a Machine Learning Model

Applied Sciences
Patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) procedures ensure the safe delivery of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans. PSQA requires extensive time and resources and may cause treatment delays if replanning is needed due to failures.

The Use of Allograft or Xenograft Augmentation in Rotator Cuff Repair Is Cost‐Effective Particularly With Allograft

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of using allograft and xenograft augmentation at the time of primary rotator cuff repair (RCR) using a decision tree analysis. Methods An expected‐value decision tree analysis was developed to compare the costs and outcomes of primary RCR for large tears performed with or without graft augmentation.

Arthroscopic Partial Repair and Arthroscopic Debridement Improve Pain and Functional Outcomes in Older Patients With Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: A Systematic Review

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate the current evidence on patient‐reported outcomes and complications after arthroscopic partial repair and arthroscopic debridement for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs) in patients aged 65 years or older. Methods A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted through September 2025

From cramming to binge‐watching: Integrating documentary‐based assessment into a pharmacology and toxicology curriculum—a qualitative study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims In the context of pharmacology and toxicology education, there is a growing shift toward programmatic assessment models that prioritize longitudinal learning, reflection and development of higher‐order cognitive skills. As part of this transition, we are exploring alternative and more meaningful forms of assessment. This qualitative study

Patient specific QA of scanning beam carbon ion radiotherapy with rotating gantry for choroidal melanoma in clinical trial

, 2021
The QST hospital has successfully treated more than 200 patients with choroidal melanoma by broad beam carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with a compensator and a patient-specific collimator since 2001. We decided in 2017 to use scanning carbon ion beam with

TomoEQA: Dose verification for patient-specific quality assurance in helical tomotherapy using an exit detector

, 2021
Purpose: Existing phantom-less quality assurance (QA) platforms does not provide patient-specific QA for helical tomotherapy (HT). A new system, called TomoEQA, is presented to facilitate this using the leaf open time (LOT) of a binary multi-leaf ...

Optimization of pharmaceutical research and development by early‐phase assessment of investigational medicinal products

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Small and mid‐sized pharmaceutical innovators often have limited in‐house health economics and market access expertise, and may struggle to align development strategies of investigational medicinal products with health system needs and payer expectations.
