Quantitative and qualitative outcomes associated with inpatient addiction consultation: a scoping review.

Rates of acute care use, including hospital admission and readmission, are high for people who misuse substances. Hospitalization provides a valuable opportunity for intervention, but addiction treatment is often not addressed in the inpatient setting. Addiction consult services are a novel intervention intended to change hospital practices.

Dosimetric impact of rotational errors in trigeminal neuralgia radiosurgery using CyberKnife.

Purpose: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) can be treated on the CyberKnife system using two different treatment delivery paths: the general-purpose full path corrects small rotations, while the dedicated trigeminal path improves dose fall-off but does not allow rotational corrections. The study evaluates the impact of uncorrected rotations on brainstem dose and the length of CN5 (denoted as L) covered by the prescription dose.

Methods And Materials: A proposed model estimates the delivered dose considering translational and rotational delivery errors for TN treatments on the CyberKnife system.

4D Monte Carlo dose reconstructions using surface motion measurements.

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of a 4D Monte Carlo based dose reconstruction method to study the dosimetric impact of respiratory motion using surface motion measurements for patients undergoing VMAT treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Methods: The 4Ddefdosxyznrc/EGSnrc algorithm was used to reconstruct VMAT doses delivered to the patients using machine log files and respiratory traces measured with the RADPOS 4D dosimetry system. The RADPOS sensor was adhered to the patient's abdomen prior to each treatment fraction and its position was used as a surrogate for tumour motion.

A dose perturbation tool for robotic radiosurgery: Experimental validation and application to liver lesions.

Background: An analytical tool is empirically validated and used to assess the delivered dose to liver lesions accounting for different types of errors in robotic radiosurgery treatment.

Material And Methods: A tool is proposed to estimate the target doses taking into account the translation, rotation, and deformation of a target. Translational errors are modeled as a spatial convolution of the planned dose with a probability distribution function derived from treatment data.

Standing out or fitting in: A latent projective content analysis of discrimination of women and 2SLGBTQ+ anesthesiologists and providers.

Introduction: Discrimination toward sex and gender minority anesthesiologists and anesthesia trainees exists. Potential reasons for this discrimination are unclear and incompletely characterized. This study sought to better understand what discrimination looks like for sex and gender minorities in anesthesiology and the culture within anesthesiology that allows this discrimination to occur.
