Shaken baby syndrome often occurs after shaking in response to crying bouts. We questioned whether the use of educational materials from Period PURPLE Crying program would change maternal knowledge and behaviour related shaking.
PurposeAuto-contouring may reduce workload, interobserver variation, and time associated with manual contouring of organs at risk. Manual remains the standard due in part to uncertainty around workload savings after accounting for review editing auto-contours. This preliminary study compares a workflow 2 auto-contouring workflows (atlas deep learning) bladder rectum patients prostate cancer.Methods MaterialsThree were defined based on initial contour-generation method including (MAN),...
Abstract Purpose Two dose calculation algorithms are available in Varian Eclipse software: Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm ( AAA ) and Acuros External Beam AXB ). Many Eclipse‐based centers have access to ; however, a thorough understanding of how it will affect plan characteristics and, subsequently, clinical practice is necessary prior implementation. We characterized the difference breast quality between for dissemination clinicians during Methods Locoregional irradiation plans were...
Magnetic resonance image-guided brachytherapy is essential in the management of locally advanced cervical cancer. This study compares disease and toxicity outcomes cancer patients treated with 24 Gy/3 fractions (Fr) versus conventional 28 Gy/4 Fr.
<i>Background:</i> The majority of adult women in the United States fail to meet daily calcium intake recommendations. This study was undertaken (1) identify predictors supplement use versus non-use, (2) understand barriers supplementation, and (3) determine potential impact physician recommendation on use. <i>Methods:</i> Surveys were self-administered by 185 women, ages 20 64, presenting consecutively for care at 6 suburban community-based family medicine practices within Cleveland Clinic...
Background and purposeTo evaluate longitudinal patient-reported distress in cervical cancer patients treated with definitive chemoradiation (CRT).Materials methodsBetween 2011 2016, consenting CRT who completed ≥ 2 revised Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS-r) questionnaires at clinical visits, including baseline, were included. A linear mixed model was used to assess the trend ESAS-r. minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for total ESAS-r score defined as a change of 3-points...
The standard treatment for endometrial cancer is upfront surgery. However, surgical resection challenging in locally advanced cases extending to the vagina, bladder, bowel, rectum, or parametria. Historically, these were managed palliatively due inability escalate radiation dose safely and accurately, there a paucity of literature supporting definitive patients. Technological advances brachytherapy, including magnetic resonance guidance (MR-guidance) interstitial techniques, have improved...
The objective of this study was to determine the outcomes patients with unresectable endometrial cancer managed definitive or neoadjuvant radiation (RT) and/or chemotherapy.Patients stages II IVA who were treated curative intent between January 2000 and March 2018 identified. Overall survival (OS) disease-free (DFS) analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method compared log-rank test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis performed identify factors associated receipt surgery. Cox OS DFS.Of 59...
Symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) following therapy (RT) to the breast alone is very uncommon. We report a case of an 80-year-old female who presented with fatigue, exertional dyspnea, fever, and cough 11.5 weeks adjuvant RT tangent fields alone. Imaging was consistent RP, she responded tapering course steroids.
Malignancies associated with brachytherapy for prostate cancer are largely unreported in the literature. We report a case of post-brachytherapy osteogenic sarcoma pelvis 6 years after permanent 125I implant intermediate-risk cancer. The patient was treated neoadjuvant chemotherapy, limb-sparing surgical resection and postoperative radiation therapy unexpected positive margins.
Background Oncoplastic partial mastectomy (OPM) is a technique utilized to improve aesthetic and survivorship outcomes in patients with localized breast cancer. This leads tissue rearrangement, which can have an impact on target definition for boost radiotherapy (BRT). The aim of this study was determine if the choice surgical independently affected decision deliver radiation boost. Materials methods retrospective treated between January 2017 December 2018. We selected consecutive based...
