Objective: To inventory the effects of publishing in the NTvG.
Design: Retrospective, descriptive.
Methods: The first authors of the articles of the sections Clinical lessons, Capita selecta, For practice, Original articles, Case reports and Side effects of drugs, from the issues 27-53 of Volume 138 (1994) of the NTvG were approached for a written enquiry about the effects of their articles. Reactions in the form of letters to the editor were assessed by screening the relevant section.
Results: The results of the enquiry concerned 165 articles. The authors of 160 articles (97%) reported that they had been approached in person with reference to the publication, on average 15.7 times orally and 2.0 times in writing. The authors of 66 articles (40%) were invited to deliver a lecture, data from 62 articles (38%) were used by others and 54 articles (33%) resulted in (continuation) research. An approach by the media followed after 23 articles (14%). A positive effect on the number of relevant patient referrals was mentioned of 4 (44%) articles from section For practice and 7 (30%) articles from section Clinical lessons. Various other effects were reported of 48 articles (29%). Forty (20%) of the total of 197 articles involved in the study were followed by one or two letters to the editor, prompted mostly by Clinical lessons (33%).
Conclusion: Virtually all articles produced an effect. Many articles were followed by personal reactions and many articles elicited a response indicating influence on medical teaching, science or clinical activity.

Accurate operando measurement of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs channel temperature and optimization of thermal design.
Nanotechnology
January 2025

The accurate estimation of the temperature distribution of the GaN based power devices and optimization of the device structure is of great significance to possibly solve the self-heating problem, which hinders the further enhancement of the device performances. We present here the operando temperature measurement with high spatial resolution using Raman spectroscopy of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with different device structures and explore the optimization of the device thermal design accordingly. The lateral and depth temperature distributions of the single-finger HEMT were characterized.

Objective: This ancillary study's purpose is to describe the relationship between dose of treatment and body mass index (BMI) outcomes in a tele-behavioral health program delivered in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to children and their families living in rural communities.
Methods: Participants randomized to the intervention were able to receive 26 contact hours (15 hr of group sessions and 11 hr of individual sessions) of material focused on nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral caregiver training delivered via interactive televideo. Dose of the intervention received by child/caregiver dyads (n = 52) from rural areas was measured as contact hours.
Potential of dip treatments to disinfest cuttings of the invasive Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae).
J Econ Entomol
January 2025
Department of Entomology and Nematology, Tropical Research and Education Center, University of Florida, Homestead, FL, USA.
Thrips parvispinus (Karny) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), an invasive thrips species, poses a significant threat to global agriculture due to its polyphagous nature and rapid spread. Its recent arrival in the continental United States raises concerns about potential impacts on ornamental and vegetable crops. Dip treatments might serve as a phytosanitary practice for growers to start with plants free of visible pests.

Although radiotherapy techniques are the primary treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC), they are still associated with substantial toxicity, and side effect. Machine learning (ML) based radiomics models for predicting toxicity mostly rely on features extracted from pre-treatment imaging data. This study aims to compare different models in predicting radiation-induced xerostomia and sticky saliva in both early and late stage of HNC patients using CT and MRI image features along with demographics and dosimetric information.
