Consensus Guidelines for Delineation of Clinical Target Volumes for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Intact Cervical Cancer: An Update.

Purpose: Accurate target delineation is essential when using intensity modulated radiation therapy for intact cervical cancer. In 2011, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group published a consensus guideline using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The current project expands on the previous atlas by including computed tomography (CT)-based contours, contours with MRI and positron emission tomography (PET) registrations, the addition of common and complex scenarios, and incorporating information on simulation and treatment planning techniques.

Musculoskeletal infections associated with species: a case series.

: is an uncommon pathogen that has been reported to infect musculoskeletal structures. However, studies are largely limited to case reports, and little is known regarding management and outcomes of these infections. : We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of adults with culture-confirmed musculoskeletal infections at three Mayo Clinic centers in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota from November 2011 through April 2022.

Incidence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 18-64 Years Over 2 Seasons, 2022-2024, in a North American Community.

Background: The incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-acute respiratory infection (ARI) in community-dwelling adults after the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown. Our aim was to assess the incidence of RSV-ARI in adults aged 18 to 64 years over 2 consecutive RSV seasons (October-April 2022-2024) in 4 US states.

Methods: This community-based prospective cohort study comprised 7501 participants in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona.

Small Airways Disease Affects Aerosol Deposition in Children with Severe Asthma: A Functional Respiratory Imaging Study.

Small airways disease (SAD) in severe asthma (SA) is associated with high disease burden. Effective treatment of SAD could improve disease control. Reduced end-expiratory flows (forced expiratory flow [FEF] and FEF) are considered sensitive indicators of SAD.
