The correction for the gamma-ray component in neutron therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Neutron beams for therapy always contain some gamma ray contamination that varies with depth and with distance from the beam axis. The problem therefore arises how the varying gamma ray contribution should be accounted for in dose specification.

Hypofractionated Spot Scanning Proton Therapy for Head and Neck Mucosal Melanoma: A Retrospective Analysis With Quality‐of‐Life Outcome

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes and quality of life (QOL) following hypofractionated spot‐scanning proton therapy (SSPT) for head and neck malignant mucosal melanoma (HNMM). Methods This retrospective study included 39 patients treated with SSPT (60–64 Gy[RBE] in 15–16 fractions) between 2013 and 2023.

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

open access: yesiNew 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 ...

Collective Helping and Bystander Effects in Coevolving Helping Networks

open access: yes, 2010
We study collective helping behavior and bystander effects in a coevolving helping network model. A node and a link of the network represents an agent who renders or receives help and a friendly relation between agents, respectively.

Oxidative stability of blesbok, springbok and fallow deer droëwors with added rooibos extract

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2015
The addition of rooibos extract (RBE) (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 1.0% RBE) to improve the oxidative stability of blesbok, springbok and fallow deer droëwors (dried sausage) was studied. RBE treatments had no effects (p>0.05) on the lipid and protein oxidation of

Biological Dose Estimation Model for Proton Beam Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Purpose: The recommended value for the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of proton beams is currently assumed to be 1.1. However, there is increasing evidence that RBE increases towards the end of proton beam range that may increase the biological ...

Eating and drinking abilities and nutritional status in children with cerebral palsy: A population‐based study

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In a population based study using data from 2280 children with CP, almost one third of children had safety concerns related to eating and drinking (as rated using the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System, EDACS). Undernutrition was found in 20% of children and higher EDACS‐levels was associated with lower height for age.
