Eye‐Tracking Analysis in Surface‐Guided Radiation Therapy Positioning: A Comparative Study of Experienced and Novice Radiation Therapists

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences
The patient setup using the surface‐guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system differs from conventional surface marker procedures. Owing to the abundance of three‐dimensional information, there may be operator variability in where to focus during the ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Upright patient positioning for pelvic radiotherapy treatments

, 2022
Radiotherapy is typically delivered in supine position. However, upright positioning may affect organ volume, positioning, and movement, compared to supine/prone positioning which might have beneficial impacts.

Mediolateral oblique projection in mammography: use of different angulation for patients with different thorax anatomies

Journal of Health Sciences, 2019
Introduction: The literature describes that MLO projection is not done only with angulation of 45° but there is a wider span of angles that can be used.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Prospective assessment of patient morbidity from prone sacral positioning

, 2012
Object Sacrectomy positioning must balance surgical exposure, localization, associated operative procedures, and patient safety. Poor positioning may increase hemorrhage, risk of blindness, and skin breakdown.
