Article Abstract

This work described simple methods for measuring locomotive activity using open-source software, ImageJ1.54fFiji, and VirtualDub2. The significance of animal behavior is a mirror of brain activity, which can give information implicated with neurological diseases. Commercial behavioral analysis software frequently needs expertise and expenses high costs due to equip a specific instrument to use of software, thereby encouraging a trend toward open-source alternatives that are both accessible and effective. Here, we explained how to convert video format, measure movement, and produce useful locomotive parameters to aid in the assessment of zebrafish embryos. This method could be easily translated for use in other model systems. This methodology seeks to streamline behavioral quantification in research contexts, encouraging broader research aspects.

Purpose: Cranial irradiation is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) deficits in childhood cancer survivors. We investigated the relationship between radiation dose to brain substructures and HRQoL in children with brain tumors treated with proton beam therapy (PBT).

Methods: Data were obtained from children in the Pediatric Proton/Photon Consortium Registry who received PBT for primary brain tumors between 2015 and 2021.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) pose a serious threat to healthcare systems. Accurately determining the incidence of HCAIs is crucial for planning and implementing efficient interventions, as they are associated with a wide range of challenges. The objective of this study was to assess and update the incidence rates of HCAIs in Iran in 2023, using data from the Iranian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (INIS) system, a nationwide hospital-based surveillance program.
