No treatment related serious adverse events occurred. This is the first study to combine EBRT with MR-HIFU. Our results show that combined EBRT and MR-HIFU in first-line treatment of CIBP is safe and feasible, and is well tolerated by patients. Superiority over standard EBRT, in terms of (time to) pain relief and quality of life need to be evaluated in comparative (randomized) study. This is the first study to combine EBRT with MR-HIFU.

Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided linear accelerator (MR-Linac) systems have changed radiotherapy workflows. The addition of daily online contour adaptation allows for higher precision treatment, but also increases the workload of those involved. We train radiation therapists (RTTs) to perform daily online contour adaptation for MR-Linac treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate these prostate contours by performing an interfraction and interobserver analysis. Clinical target volume (CTV) contours generated online by RTTs from 30 low-intermediate risk PCa patients, treated with 5x7.25Gy, were used. Two physicians (Observers) judged the RTTs contours and performed adaptations when necessary. Interfraction relative volume differences between the first and the subsequent fractions were calculated for the RTTs, Observer 1, and Observer 2. Additionally, interobserver dice's similarity coefficient (DSC) for fraction 2-5 was calculated with the RTTs- and physician-adapted contours. Clinical acceptability of the RTTs contours was judged by a third observer. Mean (SD) online contour adaptation time was 12.6 (±3.8) minutes and overall median (interquartile range [IQR]) relative volume difference was 9.3% (4.4-13.0). Adaptations by the observers were mostly performed at the apex and base of the prostate. Median (IQR) interobserver DSC between RTTs and Observer 1, RTTs and Observer 2, and Observer 1 and 2 was 0.99 (0.98-1.00), 1.00 (0.98-1.00), and 1.00 (0.99-1.00), respectively. Contours were acceptable for clinical use in 113 (94.2%) fractions. Dose-volume histogram (DVH) analysis showed significant CTV underdosage for one of the seven identified outliers. Daily online contour adaptation by RTTs is clinically feasible for MR-Linac treatment of PCa. Daily online contour adaptation by RTTs is clinically feasible for MR-Linac treatment of PCa.This study examined the hypothesis that there is an impairment of macrophageal function in spinal TB. We examined macrophageal functions in spinal TB patients. Monocytes were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of five spinal TB patients and five healthy persons as control. The isolated monocytes were cultured with stimulation of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for seven days for maturation. The phagocytic ability of the macrophages derived from monocytes was measured. Also, nitric oxide (NO), myeloperoxidase (MPO), beta-glucuronide, and acid phosphatase activity was investigated. We found that the monocytes collected from patient PBMCs were significantly fewer than those of the control group (2992.103 vs. 6474.103 (cells/mL)). There were also fewer macrophages that had adhered to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) (598.103 vs. 264.103 (cells/mL)). However, NO production (2346 vs. 325.17 (µmol/gram of protein)), and the MPO (570.7 vs. 17.4 (unit/mg), beta-glucuronide (0.149 vs. 0.123 (μmol/hour/100 mg of protein)), and acid phosphatase activities (1776.9 vs. 287.9 (μmol/hour/100 mg of protein)) of the macrophages in the spinal TB group were markedly higher than in the healthy group. Despite the low adhesion to foreign bodies, the intracellular processing of TB macrophages, including oxidative activity and lysosome function, was significantly high. These results suggested the impairment of macrophageal function in spinal TB. Possibly, there is a dominance of innate non-specific immunity in spinal TB infection. The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is higher in Indonesia than in high-income countries. In order to reduce the incidence of the disease, a protocol on preventing, screening and treating ROP was published in Indonesia in 2010. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Temsirolimus.html To assist the practical implementation of the protocol, meetings were held in all Indonesia regions, calling attention to the high incidence of ROP and the methods to reduce it. In addition, national health insurance was introduced in 2014, making ROP screening and treatment accessible to more infants. To evaluate whether the introduction of both the guideline drawing attention to the high incidence of ROP and national health insurance may have influenced the incidence of the disease in Indonesia. Data were collected from 34 hospitals with different levels of care national referral centres, university-based hospitals, and public and private hospitals. A survey was administered with questions on admission numbers, mortality rates, ROP incidence, and its stages for donesia than in high-income countries, but the incidence of ROP was comparable. This incidence is likely an underestimation due to the high mortality rate. The ROP incidence in 2016-2017 is lower than in surveys conducted before 2015. This decline is likely due to a higher practitioner awareness about ROP and national health insurance implementation in Indonesia. We investigated known (eg age, smoking, thyrotropin receptor autoantibody (TRAb)) and new risk factors (eg thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPO-Ab), thyroid size, or BMI) for Graves' disease (GD) and Graves' orbitopathy (GO), especially in combination with each other, to determine which factors play the most important role in the development of GO. From 2008 to 2018, =500 patients with GD were included in this retrospective single-centre case-control study. =231 (46%) had a GO and =269 (54%) showed no GO. Differences in risk factors were determined by Mann-Whitney U and chi-square test. Combined influences of factors were examined by multivariable logistic regression. Age at first diagnosis of GD (OR=1.043, <.006), smoking status (OR=2.64, <.026) and TRAb (OR=1.046, <.01) had a significant impact on GO. The factors gender, TPO-Ab titre, BMI, TSH titre, T3 and T4 were not significant. As it has been shown in univariate analyses, smoking, age and TRAb levels have a negative impact on the onset and course of GD and GO.
