Unity Elekta is a unique magnetic resonance (MR)-linac that conjugates 1.5 Tesla MR unit with 7 MV flattening filter free accelerator.A prospective observational study for the clinical use of currently ongoing in our department. Herein, we present preliminary report on feasibility, quality life, and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) localized prostate cancer (PC) treated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).The SBRT protocol consisted 35 Gy schedule delivered 5 fractions within 2...
Adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer (PC) by the 1.5 T MR-linac currently requires online planning an expert user. A fully automated and user-independent solution to adaptive (mCycle) of PC-SBRT was compared with user's plans MR-linac.Fifty adapted on daily magnetic resonance imaging scans 10 patients PC treated 35 Gy (prescription dose [Dp]) in 5 fractions were reoptimized offline from scratch, both planner (manual) mCycle. Manual consisted multicriterial...
Aim To evaluate differences between MR-guided daily-adaptive RT (MRgRT) and image-guided (IGRT) with or without fiducial markers in prostate cancer (PCa) stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) terms of dose distribution on critical structures.Material methods Two hundred treatment sessions 40 patients affected by low intermediate PCa were evaluated. The prescribed was 35 Gy 5 fractions delivered alternate days. MRgRT (10) daily recontoured, re-planned, treated IMRT technique. IGRT (20)...
Abstract Background The assessment of organ motion is a crucial feature for prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Rectal spacer may represent helpful device in order to outdistance rectal wall from clinical target, but its impact on still matter debate. MRI-Linac new frontier radiation oncology as it allows superior visualization the real-time anatomy patient and current highest level adaptive radiotherapy. Methods We present data regarding total 100 fractions 20 patients who...
The main aim of the current analysis was to explore hypothetical advantages using rectal spacer during 1.5T MR-guided and daily adapted prostate cancer stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) compared a no-rectal hydrogel cohort patients.The SBRT-protocol consisted 35 Gy schedule delivered in 5 fractions. Herein, we present dosimetric between no-spacer patients. Furthermore, treatment tolerability feasibility were preliminarily assessed according clinicians-reported outcomes at end...
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes may affect the humoral immune response after vaccination, but data concerning coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccines are scarce. We evaluated impact of on antibody to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination in older residents long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and tested for differences according antidiabetic treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS For this analysis, 555 LTCFs participating GeroCovid Vax study were included. SARS-CoV-2 trimeric...
A key challenge in the art and archaeological field is instrumental analysis of objects materials while preserving their integrity. In this study, world-renowned artwork Alexander Mosaic (The Issus Battle, collection National Archaeological Museum Naples, IT), most iconic representation face Macedonian king Great coming from a Pompeii domus, was thoroughly analyzed with mobile non-invasive methods, within great project restoration started 2020. Representative areas Mosaic, overall consisting...
Prostate re-irradiation is an attractive treatment option in the case of local relapse after previous radiotherapy, either definitive or post-operative setting. In this scenario, introduction MR-linacs may represent a helpful tool to improve accuracy and precision treatment.This study reports preliminary data cohort 22 patients treated with 1.5T MR-Linacs for prostate bed re-irradiation. Toxicity was prospectively assessed collected according CTCAE v5.0. Survival endpoints were measured...
The quest for an intuitive and physiologically appropriate human-machine interface the control of dexterous prostheses is far from being completed. To a hand prosthesis, possible approach could consist in using information related to displacement forearm muscles amputee during contraction. We recently proposed that muscle be monitored by implanting passive magnetic markers (MMs- i.e., permanent magnets) them. dubbed this myokinetic interface. However, besides system feasibility, how much its...
Seed dispersal strategies exemplify the role of morphology in defining falling paths. Here, macroscopic geometry effects are systematically studied by considering trajectories annular disks. Via linear stability analysis, we identify boundary for vertical fall, with a non-monotonic behavior critical velocity hole size, before increasing large holes. Nonlinear simulations confirm analyses and suggest seed release at different heights, emergence paths possibly beneficial controlled positioning...
