Detrusor compliance was measured by cystometry irrespective of any symptoms of lower urinary trace dysfunction in 70 patients with localized, partial, surgically treatable lesions of the spinal cord and cauda equina. Compliance was found to be normal in all patients with upper motor neuron lesions; reduced compliance was encountered only in those with lower motor neuron lesions. Reduced compliance was closely associated with lesions of the conus medullaris and with detrusor hyperreflexia, and it is therefore likely that the mechanism of compliance involves a significant neural component. Incontinence, particularly nocturnal incontinence, was encountered more frequently among those with reduced compliance than in those with normal compliance, whereas retention of urine was comparatively rare with reduced compliance.

Delineation of reduced CTV2 on the basis of the characteristics and distribution of cervical lymph node metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
BMC Cancer

Department of Radiation Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, 295 Xichang Road, Kunming, 650032, P. R. China.
Introduction: The core objective of this study was to precisely locate metastatic lymph nodes, identify potential areas in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients that may not require radiotherapy, and propose a hypothesis for reduced target volume radiotherapy on the basis of these findings. Ultimately, we reassessed the differences in dosimetry of organs at risk (OARs) between reduced target volume (reduced CTV2) radiotherapy and standard radiotherapy.
Methods And Materials: A total of 209 patients participated in the study.

Ship speed optimization is a primary and direct method for controlling carbon emissions. This study uses simulations based on shipboard measurements from a 28,000 DWT bulk carrier collected between 2015 and 2016. Model predictive control (MPC) with nonlinear receding horizon optimization is employed to optimize the original voyage speeds while ensuring trajectory tracking.
