Quantifying Systematic RBE-Weighted Dose Uncertainty Arising from Multiple Variable RBE Models in Organ at Risk [PDF]
Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2022 Purpose: Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) uncertainties have been a concern for treatment planning in proton therapy, particularly for treatment sites that are near organs at risk (OARs).

RBE and the Primary Mechanism of Radiation Action [PDF]
Radiation Research, 1971 The dependence of RBE on dose appears to follow a simple relation for a variety of effects on higher organisms and for a broad range of doses. The data indicate that the biological effects are due to primary lesions that may be produced by one or two high LET particles but require the action of at least two electrons when electromagnetic radiation is ...

Dependence on neutron energy of the OER and RBE [PDF]
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1982 Trials of neutrons as an alternative to x-rays for the radiotherapy of human cancer are underway in Great Britain, the United States, Continental Europe and Japan. The investment of time, effort and resources is considerable and from the outset the need has been recognized for cooperation between centers and across national boundaries. A major obstacle

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 ...

Benchmarking proton RBE models [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & BiologyAbstract Objective. To biologically optimise proton therapy, models which can accurately predict variations in proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) are essential. Current phenomenological models show large disagreements in RBE predictions, due to different model assumptions and ...

Effects of Rice Bran Extract on the Quality and Digestive Properties of Chinese Steamed Buns [PDF]
FoodsThis study investigated the effects of rice bran extract (RBE) on the quality and digestibility of Chinese steamed buns (CSBs). RBE decreased the starch pasting properties, weakened the starch gel network structure, and reduced the storage modulus (G ...

Proton RBE models: commonalities and differences [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2021 Abstract Uncertainties in the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of protons remains a major barrier to the biological optimisation of proton therapy. While a constant value of 1.1 is widely used in treatment planning, extensive preclinical in vitro and

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.
