Authors: Zhang Rui , Xie Yibo , DiTusa Chloe , Ohler Raymond , Heins David , Bourgeois Daniel , Guo Beibei
Published: August 2022

Purpose:

Unflattened photon beams exhibit many benefits over traditional flattened beams for radiotherapy (RT), but comprehensive evaluations of dosimetric results and beam-on time using flattening filter-free (FFF) beams for all types of breast irradiations are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate if FFF RT can maintain equal or better dose coverage than standard flattened-beam RT while reducing doses to organs at risk (OARs) and beam-on time for various types of breast cancer irradiations.

Methods and Materials:

FFF volumetric-modulated arc therapy (FFF-VMAT) and standard VMAT (STD-VMAT) treatment plans were created for 15 whole-breast irradiation (WBI) patients with 50 Gy/25 fractions, 13 partial-breast irradiation (PBI) patients with 38.5 Gy/10 fractions, and 9 postmastectomy irradiation (PMI) patients with 50 Gy/25 fractions. Planning target volume (PTV) coverage and dose to OARs were evaluated.

Results:

Both techniques produced clinically acceptable plans for all three types of irradiations. For WBI, FFF-VMAT plans exhibited similar PTV and OARs evaluation metrics as STD-VMAT. For PBI, FFF-VMAT plans showed significantly lower mean and maximum doses for ipsilateral and contralateral lungs, contralateral breast, and heart. For PMI, FFF-VMAT plans showed significantly lower mean dose and V5 for contralateral breast but significantly higher Dmean, Dmax, and V20 for ipsilateral lung and significantly higher Dmean, V22.5, and V30 for heart. FFF-VMAT techniques significantly reduced beam-on time than STD-VMAT for all cases.

Conclusion:

This work has shown that FFF beams are most beneficial for small-field irradiation such as PBI, and breast cancer patients could potentially benefit from the shortened beam-on time.

Authors: Jayaprakash Shobha , Pendse Anil M. , Deshpande Sudesh
Published: August 2022

Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign, encapsulated, and slow-growing tumor of the myelin-forming cells of the 8th cranial nerve. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has become a widely accepted primary treatment modality for small- to medium-sized VSs. In the case of VS, highly conformal, precisely focused radiation is delivered to the acoustic tumor in a single session under the direct supervision of a radiosurgery team

Aim:

This study aims to determine the significance of Conformity Index and Gradient Index (GI) in patients undergoing GKRS for VS, retrospectively, and re-assess the plans.

Materials and Methods:

A dosimetric study of 112 patients of VS (both operated and nonoperated) treated on Gamma Knife Perfexion unit at our hospital, over a 3-year period, was carried out retrospectively. The patients’ mean age at the time of GKRS was 48 years and the mean dose to the tumor margin was 13 Gy. The conformality of the treatment plan was determined by Conformity Index. GI determines fall off dose outside the target.

Results:

The dosimetric parameters such as Conformity Index and GI were calculated using the dose-volume histograms and the volume analysis tools available in the Leksell Gamma Plan using TMR 10 algorithm. The mean Paddick Conformity Index was found to be around 0.80 ± 0.085 and the mean GI was 2.67 ± 0.22.

Conclusions:

The dosimetric parameters can be used to evaluate the dose coverage and conformity and dose fall off outside the target.

Authors: Yousefnia Hassan , Zolghadri Samaneh , Alirezapour Behrouz
Published: August 2022

Purpose:

In this study, the human absorbed dose of 111In-DOTA-PR81 as a new radioimmunoconjugate for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of MUC1 + breast cancer was determined.

Materials and Methods:

The complex was prepared at optimized conditions in about 1 h and 38°C. The radiochemical purity of the tracer was investigated using the instant thin-layer chromatography method method, showing purity of higher than 96%. After evaluating the stability of the product in human serum and room temperature, the biological distribution of the radiolabeled compound was studied in normal rats and tumor-bearing mice. Finally, the human absorbed dose of the complex was estimated based on animals’ data using radiation dose assessment resource and Spark et al. methods.

Results:

High uptake of the complex in MUC1 + breast tumors compared to other nontarget organs shows that the radioimmunoconjugate is a beneficial agent for SPECT imaging of MUC1 + breast cancer. Human organs absorbed dose estimation of the complex demonstrated the highest amounts of the absorbed dose are in the liver and kidneys with 0.384 and 0.245 mGy/MBq, respectively.

Conclusions:

111In-DOTA-PR81 radioimmunoconjugate is a high potential agent for MUC1 + breast cancer SPECT imaging and estimated absorbed dose values could helpfully use for the determination of the maximum injectable dose.

Authors: Ahn Gyunheung , Kim Sungchul
Published: August 2022

Aims:

The control of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is a significant concern in the field of radiology due to multiple contact-transmitted pathogens on imaging devices. The antimicrobial effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in preventing HCAIs and their effects on imaging quality were evaluated.

Methods:

The antimicrobial effects of AgNPs were tested on prevalent contact-transmitted pathogens present in radiology examination rooms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of AgNPs on X-ray image quality using humanoid head and hand phantom.

Results:

AgNPs did not affect the quality of X-ray images. They had antimicrobial effects against Gram-positive Bacillus, including MRSA, VRE, and Gram-negative Bacillus, including P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii.

Conclusion:

AgNPs are considered effective in controlling HCAIs in radiology through sterilization by coating shooting devices and accessories where physical contact between patients and healthcare professionals is frequent.
Does Single Computed Tomography Attenuation Correction able to Surrogate Serial Computed Tomography Attenuation Correction in Single-Photon Emission Computed Therapy Imaging for Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy Dosimetry Result?
Authors: Said Mohamad Aminudin Bin , Razak Hairil Rashmizal Abdul , Musarudin Marianie Bnti
Published: August 2022

Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) is the administration of a radionuclide, such as the Lu-177 label, along with a pharmaceutical agent to destroy the lesion cell. The first cycle of Lu-177 DOTA-TATE is an excellent way to estimate radionuclide uptake for organs at risk. To estimate the absorbed dose for a kidney, serial SPECT-CT imaging with up to five sets is required. In general, serial CT on patients would result in additional external exposure and extra time consuming, especially for low dose CT such as cone beam CT technology. However, by introducing a new method, such as optimized single CT (24 h) to perform with serial SPECT attenuation correction, additional external exposure from serial CT exposure could be reduced.

Aims:

The purpose of this study is to assess the agreement between single CT scanning as CT attenuation Correction with serial CT scanning for serial SPECT imaging as well as estimated absorbed dose to the organ at risk.

Settings and Design:

During the first cycle of Lu177-DOTA-TATE, all patients should undergo internal dosimetry technique using SPECT-CT imaging with a PHILIP Brightview XCT gamma camera. The quantifications of SPECT images are being used to measure the uptake activity to the organ. In this investigation, Partik's categorical grading criteria are being used to convert the numeric value of Lin's concordance coefficient into an ordinal scale.

Method:

Total of 9 patients at our institution was administered with Lu177-DOTA-TATE enroll in this study. SPECT-CT data were acquired using automatic body contouring with a total of 48 angular views at steps of 6° (15 s/projections). The pixel size is 4.66 x 4.66 x 4.66 mm, the images size set to one, and SPECT data has been acquired for three-bed positions extending from the abdomen to the thorax region. Low-dose CT imaging performed at an X-ray tube voltage of 120 kVp.

Results:

Our current result demonstrated by single CT scanning for SPECT attenuation shown the excellent agreement with standard serial CT imaging for organs at risk such as kidney 0.999, spleen 0.9951, liver 0.9951 and bladder 0.9972.

Conclusions:

When compared to the previous method, patients benefit significantly more from this study, such as lower CT exposure.

Authors: Anchineyan Pichandi , Amalraj Jerrin , Krishnan Bijina Themantavida , Ananthalakshmi Muthuselvi Chockalingampillai , Jayaraman Punitha , Krishnasamy Ramkumar
Published: August 2022

Aim:

The aim of this study was to build knowledge-based planning model (KBPM) for head-and-neck (HN) cancers using volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), optimized with multi-criteria optimization (MCO), and to evaluate KBPM plan quality with clinical plan (CP) using in-house developed Python script.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred previously treated simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) HN VMAT plans (RapidArc®) were selected for creating KBPM. These plans were further optimized using MCO to strike right trade-off between target and organs at risk (OARs). The script was written using Python V3.7.1 to automatically extract and analyze treatment plan dosimetric parameters through Eclipse Scripting Application Programming Interface (ESAPI). Analyzed plans that met deliverable quality were modeled using regression-based KBPM framework. The trained model is validated with 35 cohorts of HN SIB patients.

Results:

MCO plans were able to improve the OAR sparing without compromising target coverage compared to user-optimized CPs except for increased heterogeneity. With MCO, spinal cord dose D0.03cc is reduced by 3.2 Gy ± 1.8 Gy, parotid mean dose by 2 Gy ± 1.7 Gy compared to CPs, respectively. MCO-based KBPM plans were comparable to CP with improved sparing for left and right parotids by 11.5% and 7.8%, respectively.

Conclusion:

MCO-based KBPM plans were superior to user plans in terms of OAR sparing and user need to spend more time to meet the model-based plan outcomes. Created KBPM planning is simple and efficient to generate estimate for OAR sparing to guide entry and intermittent planners to improve their clinical planning skills with lesser planning time. Python ESAPI is a powerful tool to extract plan parameters and quickly evaluate either individual or a cohort of plans.

Published: August 2022

Background:

This study aims to design an indigenous baseplate (ID baseplate) that is economically viable and dosimetrically comparable for radiotherapy patient treatment. An ID baseplate was designed and manufactured using wood plastic composition materials that are readily available in the market and were compared dosimetrically with the commercially available carbon fiber baseplate (CF baseplate).

Materials and Methods:

Surface dose and beam attenuation properties of both the baseplates (ID and CF) were measured using a parallel plate chamber and compared with the dose calculated from the treatment planning system (TPS). Separate computer tomography images of both the baseplates were acquired by placing solid water phantoms. These images were used for surface dose calculation in the TPS and were validated with experimental measurements. Proper densities were assigned to the couch and baseplates to avoid uncertainties in dose calculations. All measurements were performed at field sizes 10 cm × 10 cm for 6 MV and 15 MV photon beams.

Results:

The percentage surface dose measured for the ID baseplate and CF baseplate was found to be matching for 6 MV beam (98.2% and 97%, respectively); however, for the 15 MV beam, the ID baseplate showed a higher surface dose of 98.6% compared to CF baseplate (87.4%). For the ID baseplate, the percentage difference in the surface dose between that TPS calculated value and the measured values were 1.6% and 1.4% for 6MV and 15MV, respectively. The ID baseplate showed higher beam attenuation than the CF baseplate by 2.2% for the 6MV beam and 3.4% for the 15MV beam when proper electron densities were not assigned. The difference between the TPS calculated dose and delivered dose was achieved within 3% after assigning proper electron density to the couch and baseplate.

Conclusions:

The ID baseplate has shown acceptable dosimetric results and can be an economically viable alternative to the commercially available CF baseplates. The manufacturing cost of the ID baseplate was ten times cheaper than the CF baseplate.

Published: August 2022

Anemia is a common finding in our population. Females are highly predisposed to develop anemia. Evaluation of anemia due to a single cause may be straightforward in most of the situations, however rare causes cannot be ruled out. In this case report, we present to you a case of a 35-year-old female who came with complaints of breathlessness. On further evaluation, she had pallor, icterus, and mild splenomegaly. Her hemoglobin (Hb) was later found to be 8.1 g/dl, pyruvate kinase activity was normal, normal liver enzymes, Heinz body positive, and elevated retics count. Thus, she was found to have a rare form of anemia, i.e., Heinz body hemolytic anemia. She was advised for splenectomy and started on medications. Following the procedure, her Hb started to rise to 9.6 g/dl and reached to 13.8 in the following months.

Authors: Ahmed Awan Najam Ahmed Muhammad , Mohamed Alreyami Layla Ali Eisa , Al Mulla Asia Ahmad Abdallah , Alremeithi Majed Mohammed , Khanani Muhammad Faisal
Published: August 2022

Background:

Immune tolerance induction (ITI) is the gold standard approach for eradicating inhibitors and increasing patient tolerance to factor VIII. The success rate of ITI may vary depending on patient variables and factors relating to the pattern of treatment for the induction of immune tolerance. Children with recently diagnosed inhibitors are the best candidates for ITI, and those with favourable expected results should be offered ITI as soon as inhibitors are identified. Recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein has proved a therapeutic advantage in patients with high factor VIII inhibitor titers

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of ten hemophilic pediatric patients who underwent ITI therapies to eliminate FVIII inhibitors at Tawam Hospital, UAE

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The data of ten hemophilia A children aged 2–7 years with high inhibitor titers who underwent ITI therapy at Tawam Hospital, UAE, were retrospectively collected for this case series. A comparison of bleeds before and after the ITI therapy was also made. Patients with either failed or partially successful primary ITI therapy underwent rescue ITI therapy. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.

RESULTS:

Full success was achieved in 60% (6/10) of the patients, 10% (1/10) achieved partial success, whereas 30% (3/10) failed the primary ITI therapy. The rescue ITI therapy was successful in 50% (2/4) of the patients and the remaining 50% (2/4) achieved partial success [Table 2]. The rescue ITI was successful in 66% (2/3) of those patients who received Elocta and partially successful in 33% (1/3)

CONCLUSION:

ITI therapy is the gold standard for the eradication of antibodies against FVIII. The patients with good expected outcomes should be offered ITI as soon as the inhibitors are confirmed. The use of extended half life rFVIIIFc demonstrated therapeutic benefit, particularly in challenging ITI patients with high inhibitor titers

Mitigating Vulnerabilities in Closed Source Software
Authors: Huang Zhen , Tan Gang , Yu Xiaowei
Published: August 2022

Many techniques have been proposed to harden programs with protection mechanisms to defend against vulnerability exploits. Unfortunately the vast majority of them cannot be applied to closed source software because they require access to program source code. This paper presents our work on automatically hardening binary code with security workarounds, a protection mechanism that prevents vulnerabilities from being triggered by disabling vulnerable code. By working solely with binary code, our approach is applicable to closed source software. To automatically synthesize security workarounds, we develop binary program analysis techniques to identify existing error handling code in binary code, synthesize security workarounds in the form of binary code, and instrument security workarounds into binary programs. We designed and implemented a prototype or our approach for Windows and Linux binary programs. Our evaluation shows that our approach can apply security workarounds to an average of 69.3% of program code and the security workarounds successfully prevents exploits to trigger real-world vulnerabilities.

Authors:   Department of International Business of the Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Rushkovskyi Mykhailo
Published: August 2022

Within the rapid development of the world economy in recent decades, the growth of stable financing, including the increase in the number of relevant financial products, the attention of investors, politicians and various stakeholders in civil society has been drawn to the potential of multinational enterprises (MNE) to bring financial returns in accordance with social values and to make their contribution to overall macroeconomic stability and the fight against climate change. In particular, investing according to the concept of environmental, social and governance (ESG) has become a leading form of sustainable financing and has moved from early stages of development to mainstream financing in a number of leading countries. ESG ratings applied to MNE, which accounted for about 80% of the global economy's market capitalization in 2020, have evolved in recent years to incorporate long-term financial risks and opportunities into investment decision-making processes. An effective risk and opportunity management system, as well as appropriate risk management strategies, are an important component of the effective implementation of the ESG concept in the activities of MNE. A significant role is played by the risk management system of MNE in the areas of environmental factors (environmental) and the latest system of corporate governance (governance).

Published: August 2022

In this research, the median lethal dose (LD50) and resistance to spittlebug (Mahanarva andigena) were determined, using a mutagenizing agent ethyl meta-sulfonate (EMS) in Janeiro grass (Eriochloa polystachya Kunth) as a means to generate mutations. The study was carried out at the laboratory and greenhouse level, using a Complete Random Design (DCA) with ten treatments and three repetitions, which consisted of 5 doses of EMS (0.00%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.00%). for 2 impregnation times (24 and 48 hours). According to the results, the doses of ethyl meta-sulfonate (EMS) influenced the setting of the stolons of the janeiro grass, presenting a high rate of deflation in doses higher than 0.50%. Treatments with doses of 0.25% EMS at 48 hours achieved the best agronomic performance up to 95 days, where plant height had its best development with use close to that determined as DL50 (0.32%). The janeiro grass impregnated with EMS presented slight damage caused by the spittle.

Este texto objetivou investigar a triangulação entre a interface da temática Educação Especial, Educação do Campo e políticas públicas de educação, com vistas à gestão educacional e escolar. Trabalhou-se com fontes bibliográficas subsidiadas nas plataformas online em busca de teses e dissertações. A revisão bibliográfica foi analisada qualitativamente respaldada pela análise de conteúdo, a fim de explorar categorias temáticas e do procedimento emanaram: a) A Garantia das Condições para a Escolarização do Público-alvo da Educação Especial (PAEE) do Campo e b) Política Educacional e Gestão na Interface da Educação Especial do Campo. Identificou-se por meio do percurso metodológico que existe pouca produção do conhecimento relacionada ao objeto delimitado. Os principais resultados apontaram no campo da gestão da educação fragilidades na oferta e organização focalizada ao PAEE do Campo desvelando feitos deturpados nas instâncias governamentais frente aos documentos legais que asseveram tais modalidades educacionais. A gestão educacional e a gestão escolar precisam materializar ações que considerem as especificidades da população da Educação Especial do Campo, assegurando atendimento especializado que contemple suas particularidades culturais e sociais, em que possibilite acesso, permanência e participação do sujeito conforme seus modos de vida.

Este artigo visa o estudo dos aspectos legais, regulatórios e técnico-normativos da descaracterização de barragens de contenção de rejeitos de mineração, tendo por base pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Além disso, discute a eficácia desses marcos regulatórios na orientação de profissionais e gestores de barragens, intentando apresentar sugestões de procedimentos. Está estruturado numa introdução voltada para o histórico da construção de barragens no Brasil e no mundo. No desenvolvimento é apresentada uma visão geral dos tipos de barragens de contenção de rejeitos de mineração. A seguir, é apresentado o arcabouço legal que enquadra a gestão dessas barragens e as normas técnicas atinentes a essas obras de engenharia e sua descaracterização adequada à recuperação ambiental. Conclui-se que, nos últimos anos, de uma forma geral, ocorreu paulatina evolução dos marcos regulatórios para a descaracterização dessas barragens. Contudo, há necessidade de maior detalhamento, especialmente nos aspectos técnico-normativos, que defina ações e oriente os profissionais envolvidos no projeto e execução de obras de descaracterização, que ofereçam segurança pública e recuperação dos ambientes degradados.

O presente artigo apresentará reflexões sobre a localidade do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV) e os seus impactos para os proprietários da “casa própria”. A Política Pública Habitacional do referido projeto buscou reparar um fosso habitacional histórico, mas, perdeu-se para a especulação imobiliária e os proponentes passaram a ser mercadorias do capitalismo. Note-se, ademais, que os moradores do PMCMV foram relegados as periferias da cidade, o direito à cidade foi cerceado e os serviços públicos ofertados de maneira tímida. É cabível, salientar que as regiões centrais dos municípios possuem toda estrutura para atender aos moradores na sua plenitude. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo é abordar se os empreendimentos do PMCMV têm os mesmos serviços ofertados pelo Estado às regiões centrais e entender qual o público mais impactado com o desserviço do governo. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo refere-se a revisão bibliográfica, perpassando por questões sobre o direito à cidade, localidade PMCMV e o público impactado com essa política habitacional. Vimos que os movimentos sociais neste contexto, são de extrema importância, pois através deles que a sociedade se fortalece e as pautas são levadas as autoridades do Estado. Os órgãos governamentais precisam assumir essa responsabilidade de rechaçar a segregação habitacional, propiciar serviços dignos aos moradores da periferia de forma a diminuir os percalços sofridos cotidianamente pelas mulheres, principalmente as mulheres negras. Assim, a sociedade deve ter a preocupação em construir um mundo mais plural, igual e que todas as formas de discriminação de gênero, raça e etnia sejam afastadas.

O processo de melhoria contínua vem sendo aplicado desde os anos 50 em diversas organizações com o intuito de produzir produtos e serviços com maior qualidade e menor custo. Neste contexto, diferentes metodologias e ferramentas de qualidade foram criadas para sustentar este processo, dentre elas, destaca-se a Metodologia A3. Esta pesquisa traz uma análise da aplicação da Metodologia A3 em conjunto com outras ferramentas da qualidade em uma fábrica de papel visando a redução do custo médio da produção da tonelada de papel e, a partir desta aplicação, foram levantadas as vantagens, desvantagens e dificuldades percebidas com a sua adoção. Quanto a forma de abordagem do problema, foi utilizado uma pesquisa qualitativa-quantitativa e o procedimento técnico adotado foi a pesquisa-ação. O estudo resultou em um conjunto de ações corretivas que gerou uma economia de R$14,00 no custo médio da produção da tonelada de papel e no mapeamento dos principais benefícios e pontos a melhorar percebidos durante a aplicação da Metodologia A3.
