Broad-scale evaluations of biodiversity change need reference comparisons

Assessments of broad-scale biodiversity change commonly aggregate communities that differ in their initial impacts and their total degree of change (differing “impact trajectories”). Biodiversity responses may depend on the impact trajectory of a given community; thus, not contro...

Interobserver agreement of gradient-based and threshold-based segmentation for longitudinal TTV and TLA on post-therapy $$\mathrm {[^{177}Lu]}$$ Lu-PSMA-I&T SPECT/CT

Quantitative post-therapy SPECT/CT imaging is increasingly used to derive total tumour volume (TTV) and total lesion activity (TLA), which have emerged as potential early biomarkers of response to \(\mathrm {[^{177}Lu]}\) Lu-PSMA-I&T (imaging and therapy). This study compared the...

Impact of Aortic Annulus Size on Clinical and Hemodynamic Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With the Navitor Valve

ABSTRACT Background Patients with small aortic annuli undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are at risk of higher residual transvalvular gradients. Evidence on the performance of new‐generation intra‐annular self‐expanding valves in this anatomical setting rem...

StereoBed - salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy of the prostate bed for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy: study protocol for a randomized phase II/III trial

In cases of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy, salvage radiotherapy (RT) is a well-established standard-of-care treatment. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may offer a shorter treatment duration and favorable radiobiological characteristics, but eviden...
