Purpose: This study focused on reducing the margin for prostate cancer treatment using magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy by investigating the intrafractional motion of the prostate and different motion-mitigation strategies.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed intrafractional prostate motion in 77 patients with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with five fractions of 7.25 Gy on a 1.
The plastic waste crisis is among humanity's most urgent challenges. However, widespread adoption of sustainable plastics is hindered by their often inadequate processing characteristics and performance. Here, we introduce a bio-inspired strategy for the modification of a representative high molar mass, biodegradable aliphatic polyester that helps overcome these limitations and remains effective at molar masses far greater than the entanglement molar mass.

- Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is caused by the TBE virus and typically presents milder symptoms in children, yet there's limited data on its incidence in this age group.* -
- A study at the University Hospital of Strasbourg identified four confirmed cases of TBE among pediatric patients from 2020 to 2022, resulting in an incidence rate of 1.51 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.* -
- The findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and follow-up care for affected children, as well as reconsidering vaccination guidelines due to observed cases among unvaccinated patients.*
Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) significantly contributes to liver-related health issues in patients with HBV, prompting France to enhance testing for anti-HDV antibodies in HBsAg-positive individuals since January 2022.
- A study comparing six years of serology data showed a more than 2-fold increase in HDV diagnoses among HBsAg carriers and a notable rise in anti-HDV positive rates from 6.8% to 10.3% overall.
- The improved testing strategy has allowed for earlier identification of HBV-HDV co-infected patients, enabling timely referrals to specialists and potential treatment with bulevirtide, signaling promising outcomes for patient management.
High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) has become an invaluable tool in battery research for its ability to probe phase distributions in sealed samples. The Cartesian coordinates used in describing the CT image stack are not appropriate for understanding radial dependencies, like that seen in bobbin-type batteries. The most prominent of these bobbin-type batteries is alkaline Zn-MnO, which dominates the primary battery market.
