Bullying, victimization, and bystander behavior: Risk factors across elementary-middle school transition.

Students with mental health difficulties are at increased risk for victimization, and this risk may be exacerbated during the transition to middle school, when there is an increase in bullying behaviors. Through a social-ecological lens, the present study investigated how internalizing and externalizing problems in the fall of fifth grade were associated with bullying role behaviors in the fall of sixth grade and whether these associations differed by gender. This study expanded prior research by examining not only bullying and victimization, but also bystander behaviors (i.

In vivo assessment of the safety of standard fractionation Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: An R-IDEAL Stage 1/2a first-in-humans/feasibility demonstration of new technology implementation.

Introduction: Prior in silico simulations of studies of Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) have demonstrated potential reduction in normal tissue toxicity. This R-IDEAL Stage 1/2A study seeks to demonstrate the first-in-human implementation of TFRT in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Materials And Methods: Patients with HNSCC treated with definitive radiation therapy were eligible (70 Gy in 35 fractions) were eligible.

Technical Note: A step-by-step guide to Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy planning for head and neck cancer.

Purpose: Prior in silico simulations propose that Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) may reduce toxicity related to head and neck radiation therapy. In this study we demonstrate a step-by-step guide to TFRT planning with modern treatment planning systems.

Methods: One patient with oropharyngeal cancer planned for definitive radiation therapy using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques was replanned using the TFRT technique.

Nonemergency Involuntary Antipsychotic Medication in Prison: Effects on Prison Inpatient Days and Disciplinary Charges.

We hypothesized that treating mentally ill inmates involuntarily with antipsychotic medication would reduce the number of prison inpatient days and the number of inmates who receive disciplinary charges. The subjects were 133 mentally ill inmates who were placed on the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJ DOC) nonemergency involuntary medication protocol and received antipsychotic medication for at least one year. No difference was noted in an inmate's mean number of prison inpatient days in the year before versus the year during involuntary medication.
