Reverse T3 in patients with hypothyroidism on different thyroid hormone replacement. by Julian B Wilson, Thanh D Hoang, Martin L Lee, Ma'ayan Epstein, Theodore C Friedman

“…Patients on all types of L-T4 treatment had higher rT3 levels than those not on L-T4 treatment (p < 0.00001) and they also had a higher percentage of rT3 levels above the cutoff of 24.1 ng/dL (p < 0.00001). Linear regression analysis showed rT3 levels correlated with free T4 and free T3 levels and inversely with log TSH levels.…”

Proton beam therapy in paediatric radiation oncology: Defining the limitations, uncertainties and optimisation of treatment plans by C.S.M. Gillies, P. Lim, C. Dunlea, B. Timmermann, C. Alapetite, S. Bolle, I.F. Kristensen, K. Seiersen, Y. Lassen-Ramshad

“…This review explores the development of PBT, its dosimetric advantages over conventional x-ray-based radiotherapy, and the rationale behind its use in paediatric oncology whilst simultaneously considering the various challenges associated with its delivery.The challenges faced by PBT include its delivery methods, uncertainties in the precise depth of dose deposition known as “range”, and considerations of linear energy transfer. The review aims to highlight how these are of particular importance for a paediatric cohort and present methods of mitigation to best utilise this modality.Despite clinical benefits, the limited availability of PBT centres poses challenges in communication, patient travel, and resource allocation. …”
