Comparative image quality and dosimetric performance of two generations of dedicated breast CT systems
No full textItem does not contain fulltextThis dataset supports the publication “Comparative image quality and dosimetric performance of two generations of dedicated breast CT systems” (Pautasso J.J. et al., Med Phys. 2025). It includes image quality and dose assessment data comparing a first-generation (GEN1) and a second-generation (GEN2) dedicated breast CT system. The evaluation covers modulation transfer function (MTF), noise power spectrum (NPS), detective quantum efficiency (DQE), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and visibility of calcifications. Dosimetric metrics include air kerma, tube output, and mean glandular dose (MGD). The dataset also provides scripts for dose estimation, X-ray spectrum simulation using SpekPy, and analysis files for visualization and statistical comparison.This dataset was created as part of the EU-funded project BREAST4D (Grant Agreement ID: 864929, DOI:10.3030/864929), which aimed to develop and validate a 4D breast imaging modality for personalized breast cancer treatment

Deploying the Substitutive and Complementary Approaches to Enhance Predictions of Health Behaviour in Health Economics: A Quantitative Study.
No full textContains fulltext :
319488.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Introduction: The standard approach to predicting health behaviour in health economics depends on the deployment of expected utility as a predictor. However, this standard approach only explains limited variance in health behaviour, prompting the proposition of the substitutive and complementary approaches. Until now, both approaches have not yet been empirically examined. Hence, this study explores whether the substitutive and complementary approaches enhance predictions of health behaviour compared to the standard approach. Methods: Questionnaires were administered online to a panel of Dutch citizens (N = 2550). The questionnaire consisted of items on sample characteristics and instruments on expected utility, experienced utility, projected utility, and health behaviour. Data were analysed using descriptive, reliability, validity, and model statistics. Results: The findings of this study suggest that the standard approach explains only limited variance in health behaviour (R(2) = 0.27). The findings of this study also suggest that the substitutive approach (R(2) = 0.35-0.42) and complementary approach (R(2) = 0.38-0.43) explain more variance in health behaviour than the standard approach. The findings of this study further suggest that there are no discernible differences between the substitutive and complementary approaches to predicting health behaviour in health economics. Conclusions: Predictive enhancement of the standard approach can be established by applying the substitutive or complementary approach. However, within these approaches, different configurations of predictors might be selected based on different perspectives. Although perspectives may vary, projected utility has a particularly strong effect on and explained variance in health behaviour, which may be especially useful for improving health policies

The Toxicity Profile of Pemetrexed in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Moderate Renal Impairment: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
No full textContains fulltext :
319657.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)PURPOSE: Pemetrexed is a key drug in the immunochemotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its use is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment due to severe toxicity risks. As renal impairment is common in lung cancer patients, healthcare professionals face a dilemma between withholding effective treatment and risking toxicity. Real-world data on pemetrexed toxicity may aid in this decision. The primary objective of this study was to describe the toxicity profile of pemetrexed treatment in NSCLC patients with renal impairment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multicenter, descriptive, retrospective study was conducted across 9 hospitals in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2024. Patients included had a diagnosis of NSCLC, received ≥ 1 cycle of standard dose pemetrexed, and had a baseline creatinine clearance (CrCL)<45 mL/min. Data were collected on patient and treatment characteristics, hematological and nonhematological toxicity incidences, treatment discontinuation, dose reduction, and treatment-related hospitalization. RESULTS: Forty-four patients were included, with median CrCL 41.1 mL/min (interquartile range: 35.0-43.9). Thirty-one patients (70%) did not finish 4 cycles of pemetrexed treatment, with 14 patients (45%) discontinuing due to pemetrexed-associated toxicity. More than half of patients (n = 28; 64%) were hospitalized due to treatment-related toxicity. Seventeen patients (39%) developed grade 3-4 neutropenia and leukopenia. Gastro-intestinal toxicity grade 3 to 4 occurred in fifteen (34%) patients. CONCLUSION: Pemetrexed treatment of NSCLC patients with moderate renal impairment was associated with high incidence of hematological toxicity, hospitalization, dose reduction, and treatment discontinuation. These results highlight the necessity of developing new treatment regimens to enable safe pemetrexed-based immunochemotherapy in NSCLC patients with renal impairment.01 juni 202
Waiting for Today's Barbarians: How the Fall of the Roman Empire Is Anachronistically Exploited to Serve a Contemporary Discriminatory B/Ordering and Othering Agenda
No full textContains fulltext :
320234.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)In this paper, we analyze the “Colosseum interview” of former U.K. Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, in which he pleads for fierce border control against refugees, “like the Romans did.” His speech act is exemplary of a trend among especially conservative and/or far-right politicians and thinkers who are warning of a possible fall of the E.U., like the Roman Empire, if it does not “control its borders.” Close reading and deconstructing his phantasmagorical claims, we showcase how Johnson follows a worrying populist tradition of selectively and anachronistically glorifying the Roman past to legitimize contemporary antagonistic b/ordering and othering practices. We argue that precisely the normalization of such dog-whistle speech acts, where historical events are farcically tragedized to fit violent political agendas, potentially paves the way for future tragedies to emerge.19 p
Convivial atmotechnics: Animating atmospheres of togetherness and indeterminacy in Kingston and Abidjan
No full textContains fulltext :
319594.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)This article draws on ethnographic work with tour guides in Kingston and local radio animateurs in Abidjan to document their “atmotechnics” – the practices through which they enliven urban atmospheres. Through cross-contextual juxtapositions, we delve into the relational intricacies and contextual variegation of atmotechnics. Crucially, we point to their complexity and significance in cities whose atmospheres are fractured by racialized socio-economic divides and practices of territorial control. We show that tour guides and radio hosts animate atmospheres of conviviality that are radically indeterminate: they evade and unsettle dominant models of “reconciliation” or “social cohesion,” inviting us instead to think/feel commonality within and despite fractures. In making this argument, we contribute to scholarship on urban atmospheres, which acknowledges their political nature without considering the street-level agencies that shape them; and we extend scholarship that theorizes conviviality as a non-normative mode of interrelation.19 p
