Purpose: Clinical trials have yielded promising results for Lutetium Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (Lu-PSMA) therapy in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. However, the development of precise methods for internal dosimetry and accurate dose estimation has been considered ongoing research. This study aimed to calculate the absorbed dose to the critical organs and metastasis regions using GATE 9.

- The study assessed the effectiveness of deep-learning-based auto-contouring in delineating clinical target volumes (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) for prostate cancer radiotherapy, comparing it to traditional manual methods.
- It involved analyzing 28 planning CT volumes with three contour types: original, auto-segmented, and expert-defined, examining dosimetric characteristics through various metrics like dose-volume histograms and homogeneity indices.
- Results showed automated contours had smaller geometric differences from manual contours than variations between different experts, and the automated process also significantly reduced contouring time while maintaining comparable dosimetric accuracy.
Today, camel milk consumption in the Middle East is trendy because it is believed that it reduces the risk of cancer. Recently, studies have discovered that most of milk's beneficial effects are because of its nanoparticles, especially exosomes. The objective of the present research was to investigate the anti-cancer effects of camel milk exosomes (CMEXOs) in the murine colorectal cancer cell line (CT-26).

Nevertheless, research has demonstrated that patients frequently fail to recall critical information that was conveyed during the informed consent process, which emphasizes the potential for communication and comprehension deficiencies. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of informed consent and the decision-making preferences of patients who are undergoing surgical procedures.

- iRBD (idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder) may signal the early onset of α-synucleinopathies like Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, but there is a lack of studies on cortical surface morphology.
- This research examined 30 patients with probable iRBD and 33 healthy controls, utilizing MRI and neurophysiological tests to analyze cortical thickness, gyrification, and sulcal depth.
- Results showed that piRBD patients had reduced cortical thickness and volume in several brain regions and found correlations between brain morphology and clinical assessments, suggesting potential early diagnostic markers for iRBD.
