A novel inflammation-nutrition risk score (INRS) and its related nomogram model to predict radiological bronchiectasis in patients after tuberculosis infection in Wuhan, China [PDF]
Annals of MedicineBackground Tuberculosis infection (TBI) is a significant cause of bronchiectasis (BE). Identifying risk factors for radiological BE (RBE) could enhance the early detection of high-risk individuals following TB infection.

Evaluation of organ-specific relative biological effectiveness of proton therapy using radiation-induced pneumonitis as an endpoint [PDF]
Clinical and Translational Radiation OncologyBackground and purpose: Proton therapy has become widely used for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to its ability to spare normal tissue. However, the commonly assumed relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 may underestimate the therapy’s ...

Genomic Diversity of the Ostreid Herpesvirus Type 1 Across Time and Location and Among Host Species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The mechanisms underlying virus emergence are rarely well understood, making the appearance of outbreaks largely unpredictable. This is particularly true for pathogens with low per-site mutation rates, such as DNA viruses, that do not exhibit a large ...
