Article Abstract
Autoimmune myocarditis, or cardiac muscle inflammation, is a rare but frequently fatal side-effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a class of cancer therapies. Despite the dangers that side-effects such as these pose to patients, they are rarely, if ever, included explicitly when mechanistic mathematical modelling of cancer therapy is used for optimization of treatment. In this paper, we develop a two-compartment mathematical model which incorporates the impact of ICIs on both the heart and the tumour. Such a model can be used to inform the conditions under which autoimmune myocarditis may develop as a consequence of treatment. We use this model in an optimal control framework to design optimized dosing schedules for three types of ICI therapy that balance the positive and negative effects of treatment. We show that including the negative side-effects of ICI treatment explicitly within the mathematical framework significantly impacts the predictions for the optimized dosing schedule, thus stressing the importance of a holistic approach to optimizing cancer therapy regimens.

This study develops an integrated X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) platform on beamline BL09U at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), enabling nanoscale characterization of complex materials through energy-resolved imaging and local-area XAS. By using the wide range of energy tunability, full access to different polarizations and PEEM's surface sensitivity, we have established a gap-monochromator control system under the EPICS framework to synchronize the elliptically polarized undulator (EPU) gap and monochromator energy dynamically, optimizing photon flux stability for absorption fine structure analysis. Combining X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and X-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) with PEEM and local-area XAS, this platform achieves concurrent mapping of electronic structures and magnetic domains in ferromagnetic nano-patterns, as demonstrated through our studies of NiFe Permalloy using this system.

Background: Pituitary adenomas are relatively common benign intracranial tumors that may cause significant hormonal imbalances and visual impairments. Radiotherapy (RT) remains an important treatment option, particularly for patients with residual tumor after surgery, recurrent disease, or ongoing hormonal hypersecretion. This study summarizes long-term clinical outcomes and radiation-associated toxicities in patients with pituitary adenomas treated with contemporary radiotherapy techniques at a single institution.

Bone stress injury is a common musculoskeletal condition presenting with insidious bony pain that is progressive and occurs with a number of intrinsic or extrinsic risk factors, particularly with a recent change in training. When elicited, the presence of bony tenderness remains the most important component of the physical exam, although reproduction at deeper sites is a challenge and requires a high index of suspicion and imaging for diagnosis. MRI should be utilized as the gold standard for diagnosis, grading, and return-to-sport timing prognosis when available, with plain radiographs used as first-line imaging.
