Applicability of mathematical model to the description and prognosis of cytotoxicity of tris(1-aziridinyl)-phosphine sulfide (thio-TEPA) and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cis-DDP) at various temperatures was tested for the inactivation of clone-forming ability of hamster cells and murine fibrosarcoma. The model suggests that the synergistic interaction of chemical agent and hyperthermia may result from additional lethal damages arising from the interaction of sublesions induced by both the agents. The model allows a quantitative analysis of the combined action of the used agents and predicts the maximum value of the synergistic effect and the conditions under which this effect can be achieved.

Background: Previous research has underscored the efficacy of individual control strategies in mitigating influenza spread within communal settings; however, the unique dynamics of residential summer camps-characterized by close contact and high social interaction-present distinct challenges for outbreak management.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two targeted antiviral prophylaxis protocols using oseltamivir in controlling influenza outbreaks within a residential youth camp, aiming to provide evidence-based insights for optimizing outbreak management in communal settings with high social interaction.

Design: This retrospective study analyzed the progression of influenza outbreaks in a residential youth camp using two antiviral prophylaxis protocols with oseltamivir.

CoReSi: a GPU-based software for Compton camera reconstruction and simulation in collimator-free SPECT.

Phys Med Biol

January 2025

CREATIS, INSA de Lyon, Bâtiment Blaise Pascal, 7 Avenue Jean Capelle, Villeurbanne, 69621 Cedex , FRANCE.

Compton cameras are imaging devices that may improve observation of sources of γ photons. We present CoReSi, a Compton Reconstruction and Simulation software implemented in Python and powered by PyTorch to leverage multi-threading and for easy interfacing with image processing and deep learning algorithms. The code is mainly dedicated to medical imaging and for near-field experiments where the images are reconstructed in 3D.
