Article Synopsis
- Radiation treatment planning is complicated and can vary significantly between different planners, but knowledge-based planning (KBP) aims to streamline the process and produce high-quality plans regardless of the planner's skills.
- The study involved creating and validating 10 automated KBP models for various treatment sites, which incorporated advanced planning scripts and optimization techniques to operate without human input.
- The results showed that 88% of the automated plans were deemed "acceptable as is" by physicians, indicating that this approach could significantly improve the efficiency and consistency of radiation treatment planning.
Purpose: A major barrier to the incorporation of biometric data into clinical practice is the lack of device integration with electronic medical records (EMRs). We developed infrastructure to transmit biometric data from an Apple Watch into the EMR for physician review. The study objective was to test feasibility of using this infrastructure for patients undergoing radiotherapy.

The primary objective was to investigate the exposure of obstetrics and gynecology residents to cosmetic gynecologic procedures including hymenoplasty, labia majora reduction, vaginoplasty, G-spot amplification, labiaplasty, clitoral hood reduction, and vaginal laser therapy. The secondary objective was to assess their comfort in performing the procedures after graduation.

The obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) hospitalist model designates obstetricians/gynecologists focused on hospitalized women's care. OB/GYN hospitalists engage in diverse activities, encompassing patient care, teaching, research, and inpatient leadership. Primarily, they manage obstetric and gynecologic patients in the hospital, handling emergencies and providing urgent care.

We report on the characteristics and efficacy of a radiation oncology peer-review quality assurance (QA) system implemented across a large-scale multinational cancer network.
Methods And Materials: Since 2014, weekly case-based peer-review QA meetings have been standard for network radiation oncologists with radiation oncology faculty at a major academic center.
