Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the application of our automated facial recognition system to measure facial nerve function and compare its effectiveness with other conventional systems and provide a preliminary evaluation of deep learning-facial grading systems.
Study Design: Retrospective, observational.
Setting: Tertiary referral center, hospital.
Patients: Facial photos taken from 128 patients with facial paralysis and two persons with no history of facial palsy were analyzed.
Intervention: Diagnostic.
Main Outcome Measures: Correlation with Sunnybrook (SB) and House-Brackmann (HB) grading scales.
Results: Our results had good reliability and correlation with other grading systems (r = 0.905 and 0.783 for Sunnybrook and HB grading scales, respectively), while being less time-consuming than Sunnybrook grading scale.
Conclusions: Our objective method shows good correlation with both Sunnybrook and HB grading systems. Furthermore, this system could be developed into an application for use with a variety of electronic devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Dosimetric Outcomes of SBRT to Ultra-central Lung Tumors: Lessons from the SUNSET trial.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada. Electronic address:
Purpose / Introduction: The BLINDED FOR REVIEW trial investigated the maximum tolerated dose for ultracentral lung tumors treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Here we report a spatial and dosimetric secondary analysis of the treatment plans and assess relationships between doses to targets, organs-at-risk (OARs) and clinical outcomes.
Material And Methods: Five institutions enrolled patients with ultracentral lung cancer, cT1-3N0M0, and all received 60 Gy in 8 fractions.

Objective: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in children and adolescents is uncommon but represents a substantial source of morbidity. Due in part to its rarity, there are few pediatric-specific studies on this topic. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess demographics, injury mechanisms, treatment characteristics, and neurological outcomes in a cohort of pediatric patients with traumatic SCI, and to determine patient and injury factors associated with neurological recovery after injury.

Background: While stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is associated with excellent local control for primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), outcomes based on clear-cell (ccRCC) and non-clear cell (nccRCC) histologies are not well defined.
Methods And Materials: Individual data of adult patient with biopsy confirmed primary RCC receiving SABR between 2007 and 2021 from 16 institutions in Australia, Canda, Germany, Japan and USA pooled. Patients with metastatic disease or upper tract urothelial carcinoma were excluded.
Ancestry-Dependent Immunologic and Prognostic Effects Characterize the Prostate Cancer Urinary Proteome.

Urine is an attractive biomarker analyte for non-invasive longitudinal monitoring of health and disease, particularly for diseases of the genitourinary tract, like prostate and bladder cancer. The composition of an individual's urine reflects both genetic and lifestyle characteristics that differ across geographies and populations, like diet, hydration and other socio-economic factors. While men of African ancestry have elevated prostate cancer risk, it is unclear to what extent this influences urinary biomarkers.

Aim: To systematically review and appraise the measurement properties, interpretability, and feasibility of outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) for screening neurocognitive function among adult survivors of out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Methods: Online databases were searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PsychINFO) from inception - August 23, 2024. Included articles evaluated measurement properties, interpretability (assigning meaning to scores), and/or feasibility (ease of application) of multidomain instruments for screening neurocognitive function among OHCA survivors.
