Article Abstract

The appropriate application of 3-D conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy or image guided radiotherapy for patients undergoing post-operative radiotherapy for prostate cancer requires a standardisation of the target volume definition and delineation as well as standardisation of the clinical quality assurance procedures. Recommendations for this are presented on behalf of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Radiation Oncology Group and in addition to the already published guidelines for radiotherapy as the primary treatment.

Background: High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is essential in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. While Iridium-192 (Ir-192) is commonly used, its short half-life imposes logistical and financial constraints, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cobalt-60 (Co-60), with a longer half-life and lower operational costs, is a viable alternative.

Objective: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) leads to high rates of knee post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Physical activity may mitigate PTOA risk but levels after ACLR have not been extensively studied. We aimed to review self-reported and device-measured physical activity levels in individuals with ACLR and compare them with international guidelines, and with uninjured controls.

Introduction: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by skin laxity, volume loss, and collagen degradation. Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a versatile biostimulatory filler that can provide both structural support and collagen stimulation. This study evaluates a novel technique using CaHA with tailored dilutions for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, focusing on key ligamentous structures.

Chronic stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy remains a critical precursor to heart failure, with current therapies limited by incomplete mechanistic targeting. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), pivotal regulators of cell cycle and stress signaling, are emerging therapeutic targets in cardiovascular pathologies. Using bioinformatics analysis of human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy datasets (GSE5500, GSE136308) and a murine transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model, we investigated the therapeutic effects of the CDK inhibitor R547 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal every 3 days) on pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling.
