While the review of radiotherapy treatment plans and charts by a medical physicist is key component safe, high-quality care, very few specific recommendations currently exist for this task.
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a nonprofit professional society whose primary purposes are to advance the science, education and practice medical physics. AAPM has more than 8,000 members principal organization physicists United States. will periodically define new guidelines for physics help science improve quality service patients throughout Existing be reviewed purpose revision or renewal, as appropriate, on their fifth anniversary sooner. Each guideline...
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene often leading to missense α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) variants that undergo premature endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation due folding defects. We have synthesized and characterized a new family of neutral amphiphilic pharmacological chaperones, namely 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin-arylthioureas (DGJ-ArTs), capable stabilizing α-Gal restoring trafficking. Binding enzyme reinforced strong...
In Winston‐Lutz (WL) tests, the isocenter of a linear accelerator (linac) is determined as intersection radiation central axes (CAX) from multiple gantry, collimator, and couch angles. It well known that CAX can wobble due to mechanical imperfections linac. Previous studies suggested varies with gantry collimator Therefore, in WL tests has profound dependence on angles at which are sampled. this study, we evaluated systematic random errors isocenters different sampling schemes. Digital were...
To assess the risk of failure a recently developed automated treatment planning tool, radiation assistant (RPA), and to determine reduction in these risks with implementation quality assurance (QA) program specifically designed for RPA.We used mode effects analysis (FMEA) RPA. The steps involved workflow four-field box cervical cancer RPA were identified. Then, potential modes at each step their causes identified scored according likelihood occurrence, severity, going undetected....
Hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy may increase biologically effective dose delivered while shortening treatment duration, but information on patient-reported urinary, bowel, and sexual function after dose-escalated hypofractionated is limited. We report outcomes (PROs) from a randomized trial comparing conventional radiotherapy.Men with localized cancer were enrolled in that men to either conventionally fractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (CIMRT, 75.6 Gy 1.8 fractions) or...
In intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc (VMAT), the use of posterior oblique beams has become common. Beam attenuation by treatment couch is not negligible when in beam portal. this study, we established relationship relative dose vs. angle for two Varian 21EX linacs, one equipped with Exact (standard couch) sliding side support rails, other image-guided (IGRT) carbon fiber couch. Measurements were performed using an ion chamber placed at center acrylic...
Aerosol delivery of gene therapy for treatment lung diseases allows topical the airways with DNA concentrations not obtainable by systemic administration. We have investigated cationic liposomes complexed to plasmid in a small particle aerosol. Plasmid cDNA–DMRIE/DOPE complexes were nebulized using either an Aerotech II or Puritan-Bennett 1600 (PB1600) nebulizer. Reservoir sampling showed that DNA–DMRIE/DOPE damaged significant degree during nebulization, such activity transfected was...
The objective of this work was to assess both the perception failure modes in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) when linac is operated at edge tolerances given AAPM TG-40 (Kutcher et al.) and TG-142 (Klein as well application FMEA specific section IMRT process.An online survey distributed approximately 2000 physicists worldwide that participate quality services provided by Imaging Oncology Core - Houston (IROC-H). briefly described eleven different covered basic assurance...
Progressive multisystemic disease caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis was diagnosed in a 17-year-old Quarter horse broodmare. The mare had been treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics for mastitis 3 months postpartum. progressed to exudative cutaneous lesions affecting the ventrum, pectoral region, and limbs accompanied weight loss across several months. Yeast bodies were observed swabs of exudate, suggesting clinical diagnosis blastomycosis. Following referral, pleural effusion, cavitated...
Annually, over 80,000 refugees enter the United States as a result of political or religious persecution. Of these, approximately 35% to 40% are children and adolescents. Refugees faced with challenges associated living conditions, cultural social norms, socioeconomic status due problems occurring in their homelands. These include but not limited malnutrition, communicable disease, questionable immunization status, lack formal education, sexual abuse, violence, torture, human trafficking,...
