Material And Methods: Twenty patients initially treated on a TrueBeam accelerator for different breast cancer indications (right/left, lumpectomy/mastectomy) were replanned using the Ethos emulator. The adaptive workflow was performed using 5 randomly selected extended CBCTs per patient.
Over the last decade, the annual Immunorad Conference, held under the joint auspicies of Gustave Roussy (Villejuif, France) and the Weill Cornell Medical College (New-York, USA) has aimed at exploring the latest advancements in the fields of tumor immunology and radiotherapy-immunotherapy combinations for the treatment of cancer. Gathering medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, physicians and researchers with esteemed expertise in these fields, the Immunorad Conference bridges the gap between preclinical outcomes and clinical opportunities. Thus, it paves a promising way toward optimizing radiotherapy-immunotherapy combinations and, from a broader perspective, improving therapeutic strategies for patients with cancer.

- A 39-year-old woman developed cerebral air embolism (CAE) during hemodialysis due to a faulty central venous catheter, which can be a rare but serious complication, especially affecting the brain.
- She initially presented with a seizure and was monitored in the Intensive Care Unit, later experiencing worsening symptoms such as aphasia and hemiplegia before being treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
- After three sessions of HBOT, she fully recovered, with post-treatment seizures linked to hyperoxia, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring and immediate treatment in lung transplant patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Improving food safety is crucial in the context of a "One Health" approach. To guarantee product quality and safety, the food industry, which has a very high turnover rate, needs short time-to-result analyses. Therefore, user-friendly systems at the point-of-need are necessary, presenting relevant analytical information and fulfilling the current regulations.
