Evaluation of the effect of metal stents on dose perturbation in the carbon beam irradiation field

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propose Carbon ion therapy is indicated for cases in which stents have been inserted, such as bile ducts, but the effect of metal stents on carbon ion therapy is unclear. In this study, the dose perturbation of carbon ion therapy caused by metallic bile duct stents was evaluated by dosimetry. Materials and methods Five different types of metal

Leveraging Large Language Models to Extract Information on Substance Use Disorder Severity from Clinical Notes: A Zero-shot Learning Approach [PDF]

arXiv
Substance use disorder (SUD) poses a major concern due to its detrimental effects on health and society. SUD identification and treatment depend on a variety of factors such as severity, co-determinants (e.g., withdrawal symptoms), and social determinants of health.

Developing reference plans for evaluating global clinical trials credentialing and PSQA systems

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To develop a practical framework for creating a diverse set of validated reference plans (varying in complexity) and implement a workflow to introduce beam modeling, calibration, and delivery errors into the reference cohort to test and compare various dosimetry audit methodologies.

Dosimetric evaluation and clinical application of collimated apertures with proton beam line scanning in stereotactic radiotherapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a highly effective treatment with precision for small, localized lesions. Proton therapy, characterized by the Bragg peak, offers superior dose conformity compared to photon‐based approaches. However, challenges remain in minimizing lateral penumbra and optimizing dose delivery, particularly for small

LINC00323 variant is associated with increased risk of essential tremor

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common adult movement disorder, with accumulating evidence suggesting that genetic factors primarily account for ET risk. However, replication studies on the genetic variants have yielded inconsistent results. In our case–control study, we show that the LINC00323 variant, identified in a European GWAS study, is ...
