Investigation of factors related to treatment planning of x‐ray SBRT and scanning carbon‐ion radiation therapy for early‐stage lung cancer patients

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to compare the treatment plans of x‐ray SBRT and scanning carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT) for localized lung tumors, and to evaluate the dose dependence of tumor size tumor‐to‐heart distance. For phantom verification, we used a chest phantom with a spherical simulated tumor.

Reduction of autophagy and increase in apoptosis correlates with a favorable clinical outcome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with anti-TNF drugs

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Autophagy has emerged as a key mechanism in the survival and function of T and B lymphocytes, and its activation was involved in apoptosis resistance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Burnout level and associated factors in a sub-Saharan African medical setting: prospective cross-sectional survey

BMC Medical Education, 2020
Background Burnout in the hospital environment is a problem that affects care and training. Often explored in the high-income medical context, burnout is poorly studied in low and middle-income countries characterized by a precarious hospital situation ...

4D Specialty Approximation: Ability to Distinguish between Related Specialties [PDF]

Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators, Valencia, Spain, 14-16 September 2016, Ismael Rafols, Jordi Molas-Gallart, Elena Castro-Martinez, Richard Woolley (Eds.), 1518-1520, 2016
Publication and citation patterns can vary significantly between related disciplines or more narrow specialties, even when sharing journals. Journal-based structures are therefore not accurate enough to approximate certain specialties, neither subject categories in global citation indices, nor cell sub-structures (Rons, 2012).

AAPM‐RSS Medical Physics Practice Guideline 9.b: SRS‐SBRT

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of this Medical Physics Practice Guideline (MPPG) is to describe the minimum level of medical physics support deemed prudent for the practice of linear‐accelerator, photon‐based (linac) stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) services.

The Role of Public Health in the Fight Against Cancer: Awareness, Prevention, and Early Detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Cancer, as a complex and devastating sickness, poses a great public health challenge on a global scale. Its far-attaining impact necessitates a devoted branch of medicine referred to as oncology, which makes a specialty in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.

AAPM Medical Physics Practice Guideline MPPG 17.a: Quality management for mammography review workstation displays

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) sets quality standards for displays used to interpret mammography images. With the shift to digital mammography and the widespread use of remote reading workstations (RWS), updated quality management (QM) programs are needed to ensure consistent image presentation and accurate interpretation.

The Dynamics of Triads in Aggregated Journal-Journal Citation Relations: Specialty Developments at the Above-Journal Level [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Dyads of journals related by citations can agglomerate into specialties through the mechanism of triadic closure. Using the Journal Citation Reports 2011, 2012, and 2013, we analyze triad formation as indicators of integration (specialty growth) and disintegration (restructuring).

Granularity of algorithmically constructed publication-level classifications of research publications: Identification of specialties [PDF]

, 2019
In this work, in which we build on, and use the outcome of, an earlier study on topic identification in an algorithmically constructed publication-level classification (ACPLC), we address the issue how to algorithmically obtain a classification of topics (containing articles), where the classes of the classification correspond to specialties.
