Initiation or switch to insulin degludec/insulin aspart in adults with type 2 diabetes in India: Results from a prospective, non-interventional, real-world study.

Aim: To investigate clinical outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) treatment in a real-world setting.

Methods: The 26 weeks study involved 1102 adults with T2D who were either initiated with or switched to IDegAsp according to local practice in six countries. It was an open-label, non-interventional study.

A Prospective Study of the Incidence of Chronic Xerostomia and the Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Malignancies with IMRT or VMAT Techniques.

Background: Radiation therapy in Head and neck cancers often leads to xerostomia which often leads to a decline in quality of life. The aim of the study was to compare xerostomia among cancer patients undergoing IMRT and VMAT techniques for head and neck malignancies and follow them up via quality of life assessment.

Methodology: It was a hospital based prospective study with follow up at 0, 3 and 6 months among total 80 patients divided in 2 groups of VMAT and IMRT respectively.

Beverage Consumption Patterns among U.S. Adolescents and Adults from a New 24-h Beverage Recall Survey Compared to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018.

Beverages are major dietary components of the United States (U.S.) population.

Analysis of high-dose rate brachytherapy dose distribution resemblance in CyberKnife hypofractionated treatment plans of localized prostate cancer.

The present study is to analyze the CyberKnife hypofractionated dose distribution of localized prostate cancer in terms of high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy equivalent doses to assess the degree of HDR brachytherapy resemblance of CyberKnife dose distribution. Thirteen randomly selected localized prostate cancer cases treated using CyberKnife with a dose regimen of 36.25Gy in 5 fractions were considered.

Equivalent normalized total dose estimates in cyberknife radiotherapy dose delivery in prostate cancer hypofractionation regimens.

As the α/β value of prostate is very small and lower than the surrounding critical organs, hypofractionated radiotherapy became a vital mode of treatment of prostate cancer. Cyberknife (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) treatment for localized prostate cancer is performed in hypofractionated dose regimen alone.
