Intensity-modulated radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Radiation therapy (RT) is a standard treatment for non-metastatic breast cancer and is associated with acute and late toxicities. Intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) may decrease toxicity and is convenient for patients.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of IMRT in women with early stage breast cancer.

Synergistic Pain-Reducing Effects of (Chronic and Chronic In) and Cannabidiol-Rich Extracts in Experimental Pain Models.

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential synergy between pharmaceutical formulations containing L. (granulated-CHR OR and injectable nanodispersion-CHR IN) in conjunction with a cannabidiol (CBD)-rich extract of L. (CSE) on experimental pain models in Wistar rats.

Artificial intelligence in triage of COVID-19 patients.

In 2019, COVID-19 began one of the greatest public health challenges in history, reaching pandemic status the following year. Systems capable of predicting individuals at higher risk of progressing to severe forms of the disease could optimize the allocation and direction of resources. In this work, we evaluated the performance of different Machine Learning algorithms when predicting clinical outcomes of patients hospitalized with COVID-19, using clinical data from hospital admission alone.

Children's right to participation in residential care: A staff-based study in Portugal.

Background: Youth in residential care (RC) reveal high-risk trajectories, which require upholding their rights and providing them with opportunities to participate.

Objective: We aimed to identify staff profiles focused on their perceptions of participation and the association with sociodemographic variables.

Participants And Setting: This study included quantitative analysis of qualitative data collected from 87 professionals in the RC (M = 38.

A scoping review of participatory approaches in child maltreatment research across Europe.

Background: Participatory approaches in child maltreatment (CM) research increasingly focus on involving children, youth, and adults as co-researchers. However, little is known about their use in Europe.

Objective: To review the European literature on participatory approaches in CM research.
