ON THE IMPACT OF IMPROVED DOSE CALCULATION ACCURACY IN CLINICAL TREATMENT PLANNING FOR SUPERFICIAL HIGH-DOSE-RATE BRACHYTHERAPY OF EXTENSIVE SCALP LESIONS

TG-43-based dose calculations disregard tissue heterogeneities and finite scatter conditions, prompting the introduction of model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) to improve accuracy in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.This study evaluated the effectiveness of MBDCAs over TG-43 in HDR 192Ir brachytherapy of extended scalp lesions.Treatm

Honey bees play a critical role as pollinators.However, their reproduction success and survival face severe threats due to the deterioration of their living environment.Notably, environmental conditions during their preimaginal stage inside brood cells can influence their immune capabilities and overall health after emergence.During the in-cell dev

Summary: Hepatocytes are the primary functional cells of the liver, performing its metabolic, detoxification, and endocrine functions.Functional hepatocytes are extremely valuable in drug discovery and evaluation, as well as in cell therapy for liver diseases.However, it has been a long-standing challenge to maintain the functions of hepatocytes in

Caspase-8 is a key player in extrinsic apoptosis and its activity is often downregulated in cancer.However, human Caspase-8 expression is Scalp Remedies retained in some tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM), suggesting that it may support cancer growth in these contexts.GBM, the most aggressive of the gliomas, is characterized by extensive angiogen

This study contributes to understanding ecological changes in land use following slash-and-burn land clearing.This study aimed to compare the richness and density of plant species and soil fertility in farmland cultivated for one year Metal Sign (1 Y), three years (3 Y), and five years (5 Y) after slash-and-burn, with the conditions in the secondar
