Implementation Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in Radiotherapy: Can Implementation Science Help?

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in radiotherapy (RT) are expected to save time and improve quality, but implementation remains limited. Therefore, we used implementation science to develop a format for designing an implementation strategy for AI. This study aimed to (1) apply this format to develop an AI implementation strategy for our center; (2) identify insights gained to enhance AI implementation using this format; and (3) assess the feasibility and acceptability of this format to design a center-specific implementation strategy for departments aiming to implement AI.

PDE5 inhibition improves acquisition processes after learning via a central mechanism.

In previous studies, we have shown that phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) can improve early consolidation of object memory. These conclusions were based on the timing of drug administration relative to the learning trial (i.e.

Sigmoid cancer versus chronic diverticular disease: differentiating features at CT colonography.

Purpose: To retrospectively identify morphologic findings at computed tomographic (CT) colonography that are the most reliable in the differentiation of masslike chronic diverticular disease from sigmoid carcinoma in a large patient cohort.

Materials And Methods: This study was approved by the institutional review boards. The need for signed consent was waived for this retrospective study.

Dietary folate and folate vitamers and the risk of prostate cancer in The Netherlands Cohort Study.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to examine the association between intake of folate, and specific folate vitamers, and the risk of advanced and total prostate cancer.

Methods: The association between dietary folate and prostate cancer risk was evaluated in The Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS) on diet and cancer, conducted among 58,279 men ages 55-69 years at baseline. Information on diet was collected at baseline by means of food frequency questionnaires.

Ultrasound demonstration of a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

A large aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery was the presumed cause of abdominal pain in an 11-year-old girl with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This aneurysm was readily identified by ultrasonography, suggesting that this method could be the diagnostic technique of choice in this disorder.

[Dangers of batteries].

During the years 1982-1987 the Dutch Poison Control Centre was consulted 333 times about batteries. From these inquiries 281 concerned ingestion of a battery. In 52 cases there had been contact with (the contents of) a battery either with the skin, or the eyes or mucus membranes.
