RBE, Reference RBE and Clinical RBE: Applications of These Concepts in Hadron Therapy
Strahlentherapie Und Onkologie, 1999 Introduction of heavy particles (hadrons) into radiation therapy aims at improving the physical selectivity of the irradiation (e.g. proton beams), or the radiobiological differential effect (e.g. fast neutrons), or both (e.g. heavy-ion beams). Each of these new therapy modalities requires several types of information before prescribing safely the ...

A standardized measurement-based approach to estimate modelled relative biological effectiveness for auditing carbon ion beams [PDF]
Physics and Imaging in Radiation OncologyBackground and purpose: Differences in dose delivered during carbon radiotherapy are due largely to variations in relative biological effectiveness (RBE), which can be calculated by several models.

Microdosimetric characterization of proton relative biological effectiveness in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyPurposePancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the most radioresistant malignancies. Proton therapy assumes a uniform relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 regardless of radiation quality.

Deviations from the inverse relationship between tumor and normal tissue dose and RBE in fast neutron data are compatible with the presence of hypoxia, with possible applications to hypo-fractionated proton therapy [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyAim of studyFast neutron data from Hammersmith (UK) showed that the inverse relationship between dose and RBE (Relative Biological Effectiveness) is not maintained in many in vivo situations, originally attributed to hypoxic effects.

Who labels best? Radiologists, rules, or large language models for CT reports on pulmonary embolism [PDF]
European Radiology ExperimentalObjective To compare open-weight and proprietary large language models (LLMs), a rule-based extractor (RBE) and radiologists for labelling pulmonary embolism CT reports, and to test whether a hybrid RBE–LLM workflow improves labelling performance ...

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 ...

A Comprehensive Review for the Surveillance of Human Pathogenic Microorganisms in Shellfish
Microorganisms, 2023 Bivalve molluscan shellfish have been consumed for centuries. Being filter feeders, they may bioaccumulate some microorganisms present in coastal water, either naturally or through the discharge of human or animal sewage.
