Article Synopsis
- Seismic faults release stored stress from tectonic movement, with slow-slip events significantly influencing the frequency of earthquakes but their mechanics are not fully understood.
- Laboratory experiments show that slow-slip regions can act as nucleation centers for seismic ruptures, making it easier for earthquakes to occur by reducing fault shear resistance.
- The study highlights that slow-slip dynamics evolve under different conditions, emphasizing the need to consider these changes in order to improve seismic hazard mitigation strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Radiation therapists play a crucial role in the preparation and delivery of radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients, especially with the rising demands due to advancements in treatment methods like hypofractionated radiotherapy.
- A committee comprising radiation oncologists and radiation therapists developed a detailed questionnaire to assess the tasks that could be shifted to radiation therapists and to evaluate their job satisfaction, which was distributed via social media.
- The survey received 492 responses, indicating a diverse range of experience among the participants, with a significant portion working in various healthcare settings, highlighting the growing recognition of the role of radiation therapists.
Purpose: Radiation therapists shortage has been evaluated at national level in France, specifically in oncology radiotherapy, in terms of: (i) organizational adaptations, (ii) impact on patients care, and (iii) difficulties in deploying new missions and/or tasks delegation.
Materials And Methods: French professional organisations representing radiation therapists - SFRO, SNRO and AFPPE - sent their members a national survey (ten questions on 32 items).
Results: From 18 November 2022 to 31 December 2022, 55 responses were received (response rate: 31%) from radiotherapy managers or department heads; 51% had a structure comprising three to five treatment rooms (receiving 500 to 1000 patients per year [36%], or 1500 to 2000 patients per year [33%]).
Purpose: The RadioTransNet project is a French initiative structuring preclinical and translational research in radiation therapy for cancer at national level. The network's activities are organized around four chosen priorities, which are: target definition, normal tissue, combined treatments and dose modelling. The subtargets linked to these four major priorities are unlimited.
