Article Synopsis
- Effective risk management of volcanic hazards relies on accurate population exposure assessments, traditionally using circular footprints around volcanoes to simplify hazard extent estimation.
- Comparative analysis of radius-based exposure estimates (10, 30, and 100 km) with modeled hazard footprints for 40 volcanoes in Indonesia and the Philippines reveals that smaller radii often overestimate hazards, especially for certain volcanic activities.
- The study establishes a benchmark for understanding the limitations of using concentric radii in estimating volcanic hazards and populations at risk, highlighting the need for more nuanced approaches in risk assessment.
Purpose: To identify metrics of radiation dose delivered to highly ventilated lung that are predictive of radiation-induced pneumonitis.
Methods And Materials: A cohort of 90 patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with standard fractionated radiation therapy (RT) (60-66 Gy in 30-33 fractions) were evaluated. Regional lung ventilation was determined from pre-RT 4-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) using the Jacobian determinant of a B-spline deformable image registration to estimate lung tissue expansion during respiration.
Background: The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth ("Guidelines") not only pioneered the notion of an integrated movement continuum from sleep to vigorous-intensity physical activity but also introduced a new branded Guideline visual identity.
Objectives: This study evaluated youths' (N = 46) attention to and thoughts about the Guidelines and the brand.
Design: A cross-sectional between-participants randomized intervention design was used.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of a collaborative interdisciplinary pain assessment program on pain and health-related quality of life among individuals with chronic pain who frequently visit the emergency department (ED).
Methods: Individuals with chronic pain who frequented the ED (ie, ≥8 visits within the previous 12 months) were randomly assigned to a collaborative chronic pain management program or treatment as usual. Primary outcomes were change in physical function and visits to the ED from baseline to 12 months using validated measures.
