Background And Purpose: A bolus is required when treating scalp lesions with photon radiation therapy. Traditional bolus materials face several issues, including air gaps and setup difficulty due to irregular, convex scalp geometry. A 3D-milled bolus is custom-formed to match individual patient anatomy, allowing improved dose coverage and homogeneity.

- The trial investigated the effects of adding a stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) boost to the primary tumor in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) before undergoing standard chemoradiation treatment, aiming to improve primary tumor control rates.
- Out of 21 enrolled patients, the one-year primary tumor control rate was 100%, with promising results showing improved response rates and manageable side effects, notably a low occurrence of severe toxicities.
- Correlative studies revealed significant imaging changes and identified specific genetic markers associated with increased pulmonary toxicity, giving insight into future treatment monitoring and patient management.
Objective: To describe midwives' experiences of intact cord resuscitation close to the mother for nonvigorous neonates after vaginal birth.
Design: Descriptive qualitative.
Setting: Four labor wards in Sweden.
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a first-line and perioperative treatment for lung cancer. Pneumonitis is a potentially life-threatening complication of ICI treatment in 2% to 5% of patients; however, risk factors for developing ICI pneumonitis (ICI-p) remain undefined.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with lung cancer who received at least one dose of ICI from 2015 through 2020 at The Ohio State University.
Background: Adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) face unique challenges, especially during the critical health care transition from pediatric to adult care. The purpose of this study was to gather the perspectives of adolescents living with SCD and to describe their self-care management experiences prior to their move into the adult health care system.
Methods: Guided by the Theory of Self-Care Management for Sickle Cell Disease, this qualitative descriptive study used semi-structured interviews with 11 adolescents with SCD (M = 16.
