Introduction: Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) is a neuropsychiatric condition causing insomnia, catatonia, encephalopathy, and obsessive-compulsive behavior in otherwise healthy individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Smaller cohorts have identified heterogenous diagnostic abnormalities which have predicted immunotherapy responsiveness although pattern analysis in a large cohort has never been performed.
Methods: A multi-center, retrospective study of individuals with DSRD was performed.
Purpose: The purpose of this work was to establish national Irish diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for a clinically representative and comprehensive list of clinical indications, anatomical regions, and common procedures for fluoroscopy and fluoroscopically guided interventions and compare these, where possible, to other DRLs established at a national level.
Method: A list of clinical indications, anatomical regions and common procedures was established. A national database of service providers was used to identify all medical radiological facilities providing fluoroscopy and fluoroscopically guided intervention services.

Introduction: The purpose of this work was to determine the current publication output of Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists radiation oncologists (ROs) to serve as a baseline contributing to future assessment of the effectiveness of the College's Research Action Plan 2024-26.
Methods: An online survey was sent to all ROs in the College's member database in March-April 2024 requesting a list of publications between 2022 and 2023. A PubMed search was performed to cross-check the self-reported publications.
Article Synopsis
- Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) is becoming a popular alternative to traditional surgical methods for treating esophageal cancer, but this study highlights the lack of direct comparisons among all four approaches: RAMIE, laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy (LMIE), hybrid esophagectomy (HE), and open esophagectomy (OE).
- The analysis included data from seven randomized controlled trials with over 1,000 patients, revealing that OE had the lowest rate of anastomotic leaks, while LMIE exhibited fewer pulmonary and cardiac complications, and RAMIE had the lowest 30-day mortality.
- Results indicate that while LMIE and RAMIE offer distinct advantages, further research through upcoming randomized controlled trials is needed to
