Long-term outcomes of LDR-brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer.
Front Oncol
January 2025
Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland.
Introduction: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy and urinary toxicity of LDR-brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer.
Materials And Methods: 235 primary prostate cancer patients treated with LDR-brachytherapy and subsequently followed up in our center were included in this study. Biochemical relapse free survival (bRFS), overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were evaluated.
Treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration: one year real-life results with intravitreal Brolucizumab.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, particularly among the elderly population. Two forms of late AMD are described: neovascular AMD (nAMD), characterized by abnormal choroidal blood vessel growth, and atrophic (dry) AMD, involving retinal cell degeneration. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents have transformed nAMD treatment, with Brolucizumab emerging as a promising therapy.

Cows' milk is typically pasteurised to render it safe for human consumption, but the effectiveness of pasteurisation on influenza viruses in milk was uncertain. To assess this, here we evaluate heat inactivation in milk for a panel of different influenza viruses.

Radiother Oncol
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands. Electronic address:
Background/purpose: Taste impairment is a common yet complex toxicity of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy treatment that may affect quality of life of survivors. This study aimed to predict acute and late taste impairment using taste bud bearing tongue mucosa as a new taste-specific organ-at-risk compared to full oral cavity as identified in previous studies.
Materials/methods: Included HNC patients were treated with curative radiotherapy between 2007 and 2022.
Cardiac MRI in Heart Transplantation: Approaches and Clinical Insights.

From the Department of Radiology (S.Q., R.C., J.C.C., M.M., B.D.A., R.A.) and the Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine (V.A., J.E.W., R.L.W., D.C.L.), Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, 737 N Michigan Ave, Ste 1600, Chicago, IL 60611; Prince Charles Hospital, Chermside, Queensland, Australia (V.A.); and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill (M.M.).
Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is a well-established therapy for end-stage heart failure that leads to improved long-term survival rates, with careful allograft surveillance essential for optimizing clinical outcomes after OHT. Unfortunately, complications can arise after OHT that can compromise the success of the OHT. Cardiac MRI is continually evolving, with a range of advanced techniques that can be applied to evaluate allograft structure and function.
