Anti-Apartheid at the periphery: a case study of grassroots activism in Dundee, 1967-1990.

The histories of the global anti-apartheid struggle, and particularly the British Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), have predominantly been examined through a transnational and national prism, creating an inaccurate impression of a highly centralized and homogeneous movement. We argue, however, that refining the analysis to focus on the local setting reveals a more complex and diverse movement, which has not been fully captured in the existing scholarship. Using Dundee as a case study, this article charts the emergence, character, and evolution of anti-apartheid sentiment and activity in this small, peripheral industrial Scottish city.

Preoperative stereotactic radiotherapy for the management of brain metastases.

Traditionally, postoperative whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) has been used for resected brain metastases, reducing local and intracerebral relapses. However, WBRT is associated with cognitive deterioration. Postoperative stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has emerged due to its neurocognitive preservation benefits.

Phage Therapy in a Burn Patient Colonized with Extensively Drug-Resistant Responsible for Relapsing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and Bacteriemia.

is one of the main causes of healthcare-associated infection in Europe that increases patient morbidity and mortality. Multi-resistant pathogens are a major public health issue in burn centers. Mortality increases when the initial antibiotic treatment is inappropriate, especially if the patient is infected with strains that are resistant to many antibiotics.

Initial Age and Performans Status: Predicators for Re-Irradiation Ability in Patients with Relapsed Brain Metastasis after Initial Stereotactic Radiotherapy.

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) frequently occur in cancer patients, and stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) is a preferred treatment option. In this retrospective study, we analyzed patients treated by SRT for a single BM during their first SRT session and we compared two subgroups: "Cohort 1" with patients did not undergo cerebral re-irradiation and "Cohort 2" with patients received at least one subsequent SRT session for cerebral recurrence.

Methods: We included patients who received SRT for a single BM between January 2010 and June 2020.

Complications and Risk Factors in Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremities Treated with Radiotherapy.

Introduction: Soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities (ESTSs) pose significant challenges in treatment and management due to their diverse nature and potential complications. This study aimed to assess complications associated with multimodal treatments involving surgery and radiotherapy (RT) and to identify potential risk factors.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed nonmetastatic ESTS patients treated with surgery and pre- or post-operative RT between 2007 and 2020 in Strasbourg, France.
