Background: Knowledge about treatment status can influence effects measured in trials when subjective scales are used.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare subjective outcomes with objective outcomes of conventional and atypical antipsychotics for neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in dementia.
Methods: We performed a meta-epidemiological study of 38 randomized, placebo-controlled trials.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the benefits of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for left-sided breast cancer patients, focusing on reducing radiation exposure to the heart and coronary artery during treatment.
- The research involved creating and comparing four treatment plans for 20 patients, analyzing the radiation doses received by critical organs and the tumor target.
- Findings show that IMPT offers significant dose reductions to the heart and coronary area, even without breath-holding, suggesting it is most beneficial for patients at high risk of cardiac complications, despite its limited availability.
Purpose: The primary aim was to study the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Secondary aims were to evaluate all-cause mortality and explore the relation between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; also known as thyrotropin) level and these outcome parameters.
Patients And Methods: Subjects from two cohorts were retrospectively compared by Cox regression analyses; 524 patients with DTC and 1,572 sex- and age-matched controls from a large population-based study in the same geographic region.
In 2005, we introduced hypofractionated 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (3D-CRT-SIB) technique after breast conserving surgery. In a consecutive series of 752 consecutive female invasive breast cancer patients (stages I-III) the 5-year actuarial rate for local control was 98.9%.
