Article Abstract

Summary: We built a web server named APOLLO, which can evaluate the absolute global and local qualities of a single protein model using machine learning methods or the global and local qualities of a pool of models using a pair-wise comparison approach. Based on our evaluations on 107 CASP9 (Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction) targets, the predicted quality scores generated from our machine learning and pair-wise methods have an average per-target correlation of 0.671 and 0.917, respectively, with the true model quality scores. Based on our test on 92 CASP9 targets, our predicted absolute local qualities have an average difference of 2.60 Å with the actual distances to native structure.

Purpose: The development of on-board cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has led to improved target localization and evaluation of patient anatomical change throughout the course of radiation therapy. HyperSight, a newly developed on-board CBCT platform by Varian, has been shown to improve image quality and HU fidelity relative to conventional CBCT. The purpose of this study is to benchmark the dose calculation accuracy of Varian's HyperSight cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the Halcyon platform relative to fan-beam CT-based dose calculations and to perform end-to-end testing of HyperSight CBCT-only based treatment planning.

Indications for haematopoietic cell transplantation and CAR-T for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders: 2025 EBMT practice recommendations.

Bone Marrow Transplant

September 2025

Clinical Hematology Department, Institut Català d'Oncologia-Hospitalet, Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL), University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

For over two decades, the EBMT has updated recommendations on indications for haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) practice based on clinical and scientific developments in the field. This is the ninth special EBMT report on indications for HCT for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders. Our aim is to provide guidance on HCT indications according to prevailing clinical practice in EBMT countries and centres.

Effects of a Patient Decision Aid for Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer Established in Routine Care: The Randomized Controlled EvEnt-PCA Trial.

Eur Urol Focus

September 2025

Department of Urology, Medical Centre, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany; Department of Urology, Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus, TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany; Department of Urology, Philipps-University Marburg, Marburg, Germany.

Background And Objective: Since 2016, >21 000 patients with prostate cancer (PC) used our personalized online decision aid in routine care in Germany. We analyzed the effects of this online decision aid for men with nonmetastatic PC in a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: In the randomized controlled EvEnt-PCA trial, 116 centers performed 1:1 allocation of 1115 patients with nonmetastatic PC to use an online decision aid (intervention = I) or a printed brochure (control = C).

Purpose: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) play a pivotal role when recommending medical interventions. There is a lack of prospective studies directly comparing PROMs following transrectal (TR-Bx) and transperineal prostate biopsy (TP-Bx). We conducted a pre-specified comparative analysis of PROMs from the ProBE-PC randomized trial.
