The use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in the UK has expanded over the past decade, in part as the result of several UK clinical trials and a recent NHS England Commissioning through Evaluation programme. A UK SABR Consortium consensus for normal tissue constraints for SABR was published in 2017, based on the existing literature at the time. The published literature regarding SABR has increased in volume over the past 5 years and multiple UK centres are currently working to develop new SABR services. A review and update of the previous consensus is therefore appropriate and timely. It is hoped that this document will provide a useful resource to facilitate safe and consistent SABR practice.

Background: Historically underrepresented populations experience a disproportionate burden of Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) compared to White populations. As a salient resource for coping in Black communities, spiritual and religious practice may support better cognitive health, but it is unknown if changes in these practices are related to cognitive decline.
Methods: We analyzed secondary data of cognitively normal (via Consensus Conference at enrollment) older adults in the U.
Dementia is a global public health challenge, impacting > 55 million individuals worldwide. However, widespread dissemination of efficacious non-pharmacologic interventions remains limited. A key implementation barrier is workforce preparation and support for healthcare professionals (HPs) and administrators when being trained in, implementing, and sustaining programs.

As artificial intelligence technology rapidly advances, its deployment within the medical sector presents substantial ethical challenges. Consequently, it becomes crucial to create a standardized, transparent, and secure framework for processing medical data. This includes setting the ethical boundaries for medical artificial intelligence and safeguarding both patient rights and data integrity.

This study applies the Gaussian process progression model, a Bayesian data-driven disease progression model, to analyse the evolution of primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Utilizing data from 1521 primary progressive multiple sclerosis participants collected within the International Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Alliance Project, the analysis includes 18 581 longitudinal time-points (average follow-up time: 28.2 months) of disability assessments including the expanded disability status scale, symbol digit modalities, timed 25-foot-walk, 9-hole-peg test and of MRI metrics such as T1 and T2 lesion volume and normalized brain volume.

Evaluating the ejaculate may not be sufficient for identifying RE in some patients. Hence, the management of infertility may involve the use of invasive methods such as epididymal fluid retrieval or testicular biopsy.
