Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

High‐Content Screening Comparison of 1R6F Cigarette Smoke Extract and Selected Heated Tobacco and Electronic Vapour Product Aerosol Extracts in Endothelial and Bronchial Epithelial Cell Models

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cigarettes induce oxidative stress and DNA damage, processes that contribute to cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. High content screening (HCS) is an increasingly valuable tool for comparative toxicology because it enables simultaneous quantification of multiple mechanistic endpoints at single‐cell resolution. In this study, HCS was used to

Effects of Single and Multiple Dose Tiotropium/Olodaterol in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Alveolar Gas Exchange Measured by Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Long‐acting muscarinic antagonists/long‐acting beta adrenoreceptor agonists lead to lung deflation and improved microvascular perfusion in hyperinflated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but with an unclear time course. Purpose To investigate the effect of inhalation of tiotropium/olodaterol (TIO/OLO) on MRI measures of ...

Defining Adequate Clinical Information in Chest X‐Ray Requests: A Delphi Study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This e‐Delphi study developed a criteria standard identifying the clinical information that radiologists found essential in chest x‐ray requests to support optimal reporting. This criteria standard will be used for education of referrers to promote effective communication between them and medical imaging professionals.

Risk of Long‐Term Airway Sequelae and Mortality in Laryngeal Chondrosarcoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In low‐ and intermediate‐grade laryngeal chondrosarcomas, nonradical surgery or even debulking is considered justifiable to preserve laryngeal function. However, tumor‐ and treatment‐related factors affecting the need for reoperation and long‐term risk for tracheostomy remain unclear.
