Background: Protoacoustics has emerged as a promising real-time range measurement method for proton therapy. Optical hydrophones (OHs) are considered suitable to detect protoacoustic waves owing to their ultracompact size and high sensitivity. In our previous research, we demonstrated that the time-of-arrival (TOA) measured by an OH showed good agreement with the simulated ground truth in a homogeneous medium.

- The study aimed to create an electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) system to monitor chemotherapy patients at an outpatient oncology clinic and assess its effects.* -
- Participants reported 28 symptoms weekly using their devices, with alerts sent to healthcare providers when serious symptoms were reported, leading to timely interventions.* -
- The results showed that while ePRO participants had better overall survival and clinical outcomes than non-participants, these outcomes did not significantly differ from those before the ePRO implementation.*
Purpose: The acetabular coverage in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) affects the need for surgical intervention, and the collapse of the femoral head remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between the acetabular coverage and the need for surgical treatment and femoral head collapse.
Methods: The study included 158 patients with 252 hips with glucocorticoid administration and idiopathic ONHF without osteoarthritis changes.
Iron is an essential trace metal, vital for various physiologic processes, but excess levels can harm health. Maintaining iron homeostasis is critical, with hepcidin playing a key role. The isoform hepcidin-25 exerts the most significant influence on iron metabolism, making its serum levels a valuable diagnostic tool.
