Purpose: The present study evaluated the dosimetric impact and compared the dose variations between the advanced collapsed cone engine (Task Group 186) and Task Group 43 plans for cervical cancer using tandem and ovoid applicators.
Material And Methods: Thirty cervical cancer patients underwent iridium-192 (Ir) high-dose-rate (HDR) intra-cavitary brachytherapy using tandem and ovoid applicator. Original treatment plans for all patients were created using TG-43 dose calculation formalism.
The behavior of hydration water around familial Parkinson's disease linked mutants of α-synuclein may be linked to the early-onset of Parkinson's disease. For the first time, this study compares the local structure and dynamics of hydration water around different segments of some of the natural mutants of α-synuclein, i.e.

The data were collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We find no evidence for signal and set upper limits on branching fractions at the 90% confidence level in the range (3.

- MPV (mean platelet volume) is a measure of platelet size that might help predict recovery in dengue patients, as platelet counts often drop during the illness.
- This study analyzed 130 dengue patients to observe how MPV changes across different phases and its correlation with platelet counts, finding that MPV increases as platelet counts decrease.
- The results indicate that MPV could serve as a useful predictive marker in clinical settings to help manage patients and reduce bleeding risks associated with low platelet counts.
