Synchrotron‐generated microbeams as a radiosurgical alternative for drug‐resistant epilepsies: Proof of concept in a mouse model of mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective One‐third of patients with epilepsy, particularly those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), remain resistant to medication. Resective surgery, the gold standard, is highly invasive and carries significant risks. Here, using a mouse model, we explored the potential of microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), a new technique based on ...

Patient‐Reported Dysphagia and Swallowing‐Related Quality of Life up to 10 Years After (Chemo)radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study sought to better understand patient‐reported dysphagia and swallowing‐related quality of life (swQOL) in patients 6 months to 10 years following definitive (chemo)radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC). Methods In this cross‐sectional study, self‐reported dysphagia was assessed with the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT‐10)
