Cutoff Value of Phase Angle by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis at Admission as a Prognostic Factor in Patients with Acute Heart Failure

This protocol presents R codes for performing restricted cubic spline multivariable Cox regression analysis to determine the cutoff value of the phase angle for prognosis in acute heart failure as well as codes for calculating statistics that measure the discriminatory ability of each model and evaluate its goodness of fit.

Comparison of Predictive Performance of Three Lymph Node Staging Systems in Colorectal Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma Based on Machine Learning Model

This study evaluates prognostic systems for colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma patients using machine learning models and competing risk analyses. It identifies log odds of positive lymph nodes as a superior predictor compared to pN staging, demonstrating strong predictive performance and aiding clinical decision-making through robust survival prediction...

Treatment of Liver Metastases Using an Internal Target Volume Method for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy08:54

Treatment of Liver Metastases Using an Internal Target Volume Method for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) requires rigorous accuracy and precision for delivering high radiation doses per fraction to small treatment volumes to improve tumor control and simultaneously reduce toxicity. Herein, we present a noninvasive and clinically convenient respiratory motion management protocol for SBRT for liver metastases.

Radiation Planning Assistant - A Streamlined, Fully Automated Radiotherapy Treatment Planning System

Radiation therapy is a highly complex cancer treatment that requires multiple specialists to create a treatment plan and provide quality assurance (QA) prior to delivery to a patient. This protocol describes the use of a fully automated system, the Radiation Planning Assistant (RPA), to create high-quality radiation treatment...
