PRO-CON OF PROTON: DOSIMETRIC ADVANTAGES OF INTENSITY-MODULATION OVER PASSIVE SCATTER FOR THORACIC MALIGNANCIES

Pro-con of proton: Dosimetric advantages of intensity-modulation over passive scatter for thoracic malignancies

The use of passively scattered proton therapy (PSPT) or intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) opens mega motion lc100 the potential for dose escalation or critical structure sparing in thoracic malignancies.While the latter offers greater dose conformality, dose distributions are subjected to greater uncertainties, especially due to interplay e

A dynamic, climate-driven model of Rift Valley fever

Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in eastern Africa have previously occurred following specific rainfall dynamics and flooding events that appear to support the emergence of large numbers of mosquito vectors.As such, transmission of the virus is considered to be sensitive to environmental conditions and therefore changes in climate can impact th
