3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Mapping the Landscape of Over‐Scanning in CT Imaging: A Scoping Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Over‐scanning in CT is highly prevalent and contributes to unnecessary radiation exposure, with notable impact on radiosensitive organs. Standardised protocols and AI‐assisted planning show strong potential to optimise scan range and reduce excess dose.

Proton beam therapy in paediatric cancer: Anticipating the opening of the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView., 2023
Summary Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) has the potential to improve paediatric cancer care by reducing radiation exposure and thus long‐term toxicities. Ethical concerns and debates surrounding the treatment, such as eligibility and accessibility, are ongoing in Australia. The Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research (ABCPTR) (named after Sir

The Natural History of Residual and Recurrent Disease in Advanced Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Residual and recurrent disease in advanced juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNAs) demonstrate spontaneous involution, reduction in size, or long‐term stability following initial treatment in 95% of patients. In this systematic review of 131 patients with advanced JNA, only 2% of patients demonstrated disease progression during surveillance, but ...

Spatiotemporal Medicare Reimbursement Trends and Economic Clusters in Otologic/Neurotologic Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Despite a 16.2% increase in Medicare‐reimbursed otologic/neurotologic procedural volume from 2012 to 2024, inflation‐adjusted reimbursement per service declined by 29.1%, resulting in reduced aggregate spending over time. Shapley decomposition demonstrated that reimbursement erosion, rather than decreased utilization, was the primary driver of spending

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...

Success of Anterior Ethmoidal Artery Flaps for Nasal Septal Perforation Repair: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair using the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is an emerging endoscopic technique with an overall closure success rate of 84.6%. The AEA flap is a reliable endoscopic technique for repairing NSPs < 2.5 cm. Emerging AEA flap modifications may further improve outcomes, while enabling repair of larger perforations ...

Cranial Vault and Scalp Reconstruction Utilizing Anterolateral Thigh Free Tissue Transfer

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The anterolateral thigh free flap with perforator harvest and minimal access recipient vessel procurement technique offers an adaptable and effective reconstructive option for a wide variety of complex scalp and cranial vault defects. There were no significant differences in outcomes or complications of the three flap types analyzed (fasciocutaneous ...

Is Proton Therapy Superior to Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
With changing practice patterns, radiation therapy for vestibular schwannomas has become an increasingly utilized treatment modality with high tumor control rates. Gamma‐Knife radiosurgery remains a well‐established and readily accessible option with good rates for tumor control, cranial nerve preservation, and hearing outcomes.
