An original stereotactic radiosurgical approach coupling a) Talairach's stereotactic methodology, b) a specially devised mechanical system, and c) a linear accelerator is detailed. The authors present their preliminary results on 66 patients with nonsurgical intracranial arteriovenous malformations. The doses delivered for treatment varied from 20 to 70 Gy. Doses of no more than 40 Gy were used in 80% of patients. An angiographic study was performed when the computed tomographic scan controls showed relevant modifications of the lesion volume. Total obliteration was obtained in 27 of the 41 patients (65.8%) who were followed up for at least 24 months. The percentage of the cured patients is significantly higher when a) the entire malformation is included in the 75% isodose (96%) and b) the maximum diameter of the lesion is less than 12 mm (81%). Two patients died of rebleeding at 18 and 29 months after treatment.

Background: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor, yet traditional care often results in suboptimal blood pressure (BP) control at the population level. We implemented a remote hypertension management program that monitored home BP and titrated medications per algorithm. This study assessed the program's long-term effects by examining participants' office BP up to 42 months post-enrollment.

Ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy defined as FLASH radiotherapy is a potential technology to improve local tumor therapeutic gain ratio. It relies on linear accelerator capable of delivering large doses in a single microsecond pulse (>40 Gy/sec). This therapy would lead to sparing of normal tissue which has been termed the FLASH effect.

In this study, a novel In₂S₃/MXene composite was developed as a co-reactant accelerator to enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) performance of the classical luminol-H₂O₂ system. The In₂S₃ and MXene heterojunction catalyzed the CL reaction through synergistic effect, facilitating the generation of reactive oxygen species and increasing CL intensities. This enhanced system was applied for the first time to detect an ultraviolet (UV) filter-benzophenone-3 (BP-3) by leveraging its light absorption property.

Background: For radiotherapy of head and neck cancer (HNC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role due to its high soft tissue contrast. Moreover, it offers the potential to acquire functional information through diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with the potential to personalize treatment. The aim of this study was to acquire repetitive DWI during the course of online adaptive radiotherapy on an 1.
