Purpose: Both local tumor control and distant metastasis are important indicators of the efficacy of radiation therapy treatment. Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), spatially fractionated radiation delivered at ultrahigh dose rates, shows remarkable normal tissue sparing with excellent local control in some models. Some MRT regimens trigger an antitumor immune response that contributes not only to the local but also to systemic treatment efficacy.

- Increasing wildfire severity in the western U.S. affects the production and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM), which is crucial for understanding its impact on ecosystems.
- Current research on wildfire-affected DOM focuses on temperature, but this doesn't capture the full complexity of post-fire conditions characterized by burn severity.
- This study used simulated burns to analyze DOM from various land cover types, revealing that burn severity alters DOM composition, leading to an increase in aromatic and nitrogen-containing compounds as severity rises, enhancing our understanding of DOM in real-world scenarios.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of institutional betrayal on trauma symptoms among campus sexual assault survivors, highlighting how ineffective institutional responses can worsen a survivor's distress.
- It examines the concept of institutional courage, which refers to supportive and transparent actions by institutions, and how it relates to the mental health outcomes of survivors.
- Findings suggest that while institutional betrayal typically increases trauma symptoms, high levels of institutional courage can mitigate this negative effect, indicating that fostering institutional courage can be beneficial for survivors.
