Background And Purpose: Previous research among Dutch radiotherapy centres (RTCs) showed that 69% of innovations was simultaneously implemented in 7/19 centres, with a success rate of 51%. However, no structure to share lessons learned about the implementation process existed. Therefore, a national Taskforce Implementation (TTI) was raised to stimulate efficient implementation of innovations.

Previous studies found that DDGS, based on grains other than corn, can substitute for soybean meal and canola cake as a dietary protein source without reducing milk production or quality. As societal concerns exist, and in many areas strict regulation, regarding nitrogen excretion from dairy cows, the dairy industry has focused on reducing dietary protein level and nitrogen excretion.

Both corn-based DDGS and grain-based DDGS (gDDGS; defined as originating from grain sources such as barley, wheat, triticale, or a mix, excluding corn) appear to be relevant sources of feed and protein for dairy cows. To date, most of the studies investigating DDGS have been performed with corn-based DDGS.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Purpose: Isolated nodal failures (INF) are rare after 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since incidental nodal irradiation doses are lower with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) than with 3D-CRT, INF may be higher after IMRT. We therefore investigated the incidence of INF after IMRT in stage III NSCLC patients.
