Department of Radiation Oncology, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, CAN.
Unlabelled: Introduction There is little data describing oligometastatic disease (OMD) and decision-making. We sought to understand the knowledge gaps and challenges in deciphering and delivering treatments.
Materials And Methods: This is a quality improvement (QI) study conducted via an anonymous survey.

Purpose: In 2013, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee, produced an evidence-based guideline for the use of Computed Tomography (CT) in patients presenting following recent (<24 h) head injury (HI). A head CT scan is recommended for medium-risk patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14-15, who are > 65 years old and on anti-platelet medication. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on head CT scans in this population, and to test for associations between ICH and baseline characteristics, symptoms and objective clinical findings.

Introduction: This paper presents motivational factors to engage, start a research project and pursue a research career. The study aimed to investigate radiographer's motivation for engaging in research.
Methods: Eight radiographers from Denmark with experience in research were interviewed in a 2-h focus group interview in October 2023.
Discharge Age and Weight for Very Preterm Infants in Six Countries: 2012-2020.
Neonatology
March 2023
Department of Health Policy and Administration, The Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Postmenstrual age for surviving infants without congenital anomalies born at 24-29 weeks' gestational age from 2005 to 2018 in the USA increased 8 days, discharge weight increased 316 grams, and median discharge weight z-score increased 0.19 standard units. We asked whether increases were observed in other countries.

World J Surg Oncol
November 2009
Department of Academic Surgery, National University of Ireland (NUI) and Cork University College Hospital, Cork, Ireland.
Background: The surgical insult induces an inflammatory response that activates P38 MAP kinases and solid tumours can also release cytokines. Therfore inhibition of these pathways may reduce tumour growth We set out to examine the effects of P38-MAPK inhibition on apoptosis, proliferation, VEGF release and cell cycle effects in-vitro and on primary tumour growth in-vivo.
Methods: 4T-1 cells (2 x 105 cells/well) were incubated, in 24 well plates with control, 25, 50 or 100 ng/ml of SB-202190 for 24 hours.
