Personalized Radiation Attenuating Materials for Gastrointestinal Mucosal Protection by Byrne, James D, Young, Cameron C, Chu, Jacqueline N, Pursley, Jennifer, Chen, Mu Xian, Wentworth, Adam J, Feng, Annie, Kirtane, Ameya R, Remillard, Kyla A, Hancox, Cindy I, Bhagwat, Mandar S, Machado, Nicole, Hua, Tiffany, Tamang, Siddartha M, Collins, Joy E, Ishida, Keiko, Hayward, Alison, Becker, Sarah L, Edgington, Samantha K, Schoenfeld, Jonathan D, Jeck, William R, Hur, Chin, Traverso, Giovanni

“…To reduce radiation dose to critical GI structures including the rectum and oral mucosa, 3D-printed GI radioprotective devices composed of high-Z materials are generated from patient CT scans. In a radiation proctitis rat model, a significant reduction in crypt injury is demonstrated with the device compared to without (p < 0.0087). …”

The presence of leuko-araiosis in patients with Alzheimer's disease predicts poor tolerance to tacrine, but does not discriminate responders from non-responders. by Amar, K, Wilcock, G, Scot, M, Lewis, T

“…Seventy-two AD patients prescribed tacrine in our centre were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of WMLA on brain CT scans. We compared the rate of response to and withdrawal from tacrine between the groups. …”

In vivo evaluation of edge-loading in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing patients with pseudotumours by Kwon, Y, Mellon, S, Monk, P, Murray, D, Gill, H

“…This study aimed to quantify in vivo edge-loading in MoMHRA patients with and without pseudotumours during functional activities.Methods The duration and magnitude of edge-loading in vivo was quantified during functional activities by combining the dynamic hip joint segment contact force calculated from the three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis system with the 3D reconstruction of orientation of the acetabular component and each patient’s specific hip joint centre, based on CT scans.Results Edge-loading in the hips with pseudotumours occurred with a four-fold increase in duration and magnitude of force compared with the hips without pseudotumours (p = 0.02).Conclusions The study provides the first in vivo evidence to support that edge-loading is an important mechanism that leads to localised excessive wear (edge-wear), with subsequent elevation of metal ion levels in MoMHRA patients with pseudotumours.…”

The influence of hip rotation on femoral offset in plain radiographs. by Lechler, P, Frink, M, Gulati, A, Murray, D, Renkawitz, T, Bücking, B, Ruchholtz, S, Boese, C

“…PATIENTS AND METHODS: We developed a novel method of assessing rotation-corrected femoral offset (FORC), tested its clinical application in 222 AP hip radiographs following proximal femoral nailing, and validated it in 25 cases with corresponding computed tomography (CT) scans. RESULTS: The mean FORC was 57 (29-93) mm, which differed significantly (p &lt; 0.001) from the mean FOP 49 (22-65) mm and from the mean femoral offset determined by the standard method: 49 (23-66) mm. …”

The utility of micro-computed tomography for the non-destructive study of eye microstructure in snails by Sumner-Rooney, L, Kenny, NJ, Ahmed, F, Williams, ST

“…We compare our results directly with those from traditional histological methods applied to the same specimens, and show not only that eye microstructure can be visualised in sufficient detail for meaningful comparison even in very small animals, but also that μ-CT can provide additional insight into gross neuroanatomy without damaging rare and precious specimens. Data from μ-CT scans also show that neurological innervation of eyes is reduced in dark-adapted snails when compared with the innervation of cephalic tentacles, which are involved in mechanoreception and possibly chemoreception. …”

Evaluation of alveolar bone micromorphological changes in experimentally induced periodontal disease rat model by using micro-computer tomography (Micro-CT) by Chew, Xuan-Yee
