Purpose: The aim was to determine whether differences in treatment plan selection methods from a Library-of-Plans (LoP) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) leads to significant discrepancies in total accumulated dose.
Methods: Ten cervical cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed on plan selection and dose distribution. Dose accumulation was performed using two different plan selection methods. 1) The clinical plan selections (i.e. plans as selected during actual treatment) and 2) automatic plan selection, which was based on the largest overlap between LoP clinical target volume (CTV) and (auto-)delineated CTV on CBCT. To evaluate the influence of daily plan selection on the treatment dose, the dose of selected plans was calculated on the daily CBCTs for all fractions and accumulated on the CT. The predefined clinical goals were used to determine if there was a relevant dose difference between the clinical LoP-selection, automatic LoP-selection, and selecting solely the default plan (i.e. full bladder plan with similar margins).
Results: Different methods of LoP-plan selection did not result in significant dose differences. However, the default non-LoP plan resulted in significant dose differences compared to LoP-selection methods, with a reduced target coverage (99 % vs 100 %) and higher V40Gy to the rectum (55 % vs 44 %) compared to the clinical selection, respectively.
Conclusions: LoP is robust to variations in plan selection and LoP outperforms non-LoP approaches in terms of target coverage and organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing. Therefore, LoP is a safe and efficient alternative to online adaptive replanning, particularly for longer fractionation schemes.

Purpose: Conflicting results have been reported on dietary factors in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Here, we compared the dietary intakes of IBD patients with those of paired healthy relatives (HRs), aiming to minimize the impact of genetic and environmental confounders.
Methods: Patients with Crohn's disease (CD, N = 45) and ulcerative colitis (UC, N = 20), their paired HRs (N = 45, N = 20) and healthy non-relative (HNR, N = 25, N = 55) controls were recruited.
Which factors influence plan reuse in a sequential posture selection task?

In a sequential posture selection task, we reuse former motor plans to reduce cognitive planning cost. The resulting persistence in the former posture, termed motor hysteresis, can serve as a proxy for the percentage of motor plan reuse (PoR). A recent study showed a significant drop in PoR if participants were asked to skip every second drawer in a sequential drawer opening task.

Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) not only directly affects the tenderness, juiciness, and overall flavour of meat but also plays a significant role in influencing consumer preferences for pork. Therefore, exploring key biomarkers that influence IMF deposition is highly important for breeding high-quality pork. IMF is a typical quantitative trait that is regulated by the interaction of multiple coding and noncoding RNAs.

Dairy goats, a livestock species with a long history of milk production, are essential for the economic advancement of nations, particularly in regions experiencing growth. In this study, we gathered whole-genome resequencing data of 58 goats, including 34 dairy goats and 24 wild goats (Bezoar), to explore the selection signatures linked to milk production traits using ROH (Runs of homozygosity), CLR (composite likelihood ratio), Fst (Fixation index), XP-EHH (Ex-tended haplotype homozygosity across populations) and XP-CLR(Cross-population composite likelihood ratio test) methods. Analysis of five tests of selection signatures for dairy goats revealed a total of 210 genes, with 24 genes consistently identified in at least two approaches.
