Abstract: Three-column osteotomies (3COs) can achieve significant alignment correction when revising fixed sagittal plane deformities; however, the technique is associated with high complication rates. The authors demonstrate staged anterior-posterior surgery with L5–S1 ALIF (below a prior L3–5 fusion) and multilevel Smith-Petersen osteotomies to circumvent the morbidity associated with 3CO. The patient was a 67-year-old male with three prior lumbar surgeries who presented with back and leg pain. Imaging demonstrated lumbar flat back deformity and sagittal imbalance. The narrated video details key radiological measurements, operative planning and rationale, surgical steps, and outcomes. The patient provided written, informed consent for publication of this illustrative case.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/wv4W9D9fUPc.

Abstract: Pituitary adenomas are a rare but important central nervous system tumor in children. Because of differences in growth and development, the manifestations of pituitary adenomas in children may differ from those seen in adults. Unlike adult patients, the pediatric population more often presents with clinically secretory adenomas. Although medical management is first-line treatment of prolactinomas, transsphenoidal surgery is appropriate for most children with Cushing disease and gigantism. Although some pediatric patients present surgical challenges because of small anatomic dimensions or an incompletely developed sphenoid sinus, transsphenoidal surgery can be safely and effectively undertaken in most children, with low complication rates.

Abstract: Background and aims Inadequate pain control affects morbidity and hospitalization length of stay. Post-operative pain is commonly managed with opioids with important side effect. Recent data has shown that the novel erector spinae plane (ESP) block, can be employed as a safe regional analgesic technique for acute post-surgical and chronic neuropathic pain. The aim of the present study was to investigate the capacity of ESP block to provide successful post-operative pain management undergoing spinal surgery. Methods 29 patients undergoing open lumbar decompression surgery were randomized in two groups. ESP group (n=12) received ESP block with 0,5% levobubivacain 20 ml. In the control group (n=17) no intervention was performed and postoperative analgesia was achieved with IV morphine plus ketorolac. The primary outcome was represented by postoperative numerical rate scale (NRS) score at various time periods during the first 24 hours following surgery. The secondary outcomes included opioid consumption, rescue analgesia and opioid related side effects. The study protocol was approved by the local review board. Results Compared with control group, the NRS score of ESP block patients did not show any statistically significant differences in the measured time periods. Twenty-four-hour opioid consumption in group control was significantly higher compared to group ESP (30±2.6 mg and 10±2.08 mg, p Conclusions Our preliminary findings suggest that ESP block is not inferior compared to opioid in the management of post-operative acute pain, has reduced opioid consumption and may play a key role in the prevention of post-surgical chronic pain.

Abstract: To review the natural history of asymptomatic and symptomatic pediatric Chiari I malformations with and without syringomyelia. We reviewed the literature for case reports and case series describing the natural history of asymptomatic and symptomatic children with Chiari I malformations with and without syringomyelia. Our review included approximately 700 asymptomatic children without syringomyelia, 100 symptomatic children without syringomyelia, 22 asymptomatic children with syringomyelia, and 11 symptomatic children with syringomyelia. Symptomatic and imaging outcomes at the point of last reported follow-up were noted to describe the natural history of Chiari I malformations in children. Our review of about 700 asymptomatic children with CM-I without syrinx revealed that most children do not exhibit new-onset symptoms (5–6%) or syrinx (2–3%). The nearly 100 published cases of symptomatic CM-I without syrinx suggest that about half of children report symptomatic improvement (48%) and few report symptomatic worsening (7%). New-onset syrinx is rarely observed (2%). Few cases have been published about asymptomatic and symptomatic CM-I with syrinx as syringomyelia are generally regarded to be an indication for surgical intervention. Nevertheless, all 22 children with asymptomatic CM-I with syringomyelia included in this study were asymptomatic at follow-up, with syrinx resolution observed in 18 children and tonsillar herniation improvement observed in 16 children. Overall, our review of asymptomatic pediatric CM-I with or without syringomyelia suggests that its natural history is much more favorable than previously acknowledged and that the literature generally favors conservative management of these cases. Our review of asymptomatic pediatric CM-I with or without syringomyelia suggests that its natural history is much more favorable than previously acknowledged and that the literature generally favors conservative management of these cases. Further study of symptomatic pediatric CM-I is necessary to better understand its natural history.

107. Chain of Dependencies: A New Visual Heuristic to Discover the Underlying Logic of an Argument (archive)

Author: C Marino, Mark and Cantiello, Jessica
Subjects: College students' writings, Academic writing, Writing
Abstract: In this article, we describe a new heuristic called Chain of Dependencies (CoD), which builds on mind maps and bubble diagrams by adding an element of logical relationship. The writer asks the question, given this assertion, what does my reader need to know? Then, the writer reiterates that process along various chains. At the end, the writer draws from the heuristic logical strains of their argument for drafting.

110. Critical Code Studies

Author: Mark C. Marino and Mark C. Marino
Subjects: Rhetoric, Computer software--Social aspects, Coding theory--Philosophy, Programming languages (Electronic computers)
Abstract: An argument that we must read code for more than what it does—we must consider what it means.Computer source code has become part of popular discourse. Code is read not only by programmers but by lawyers, artists, pundits, reporters, political activists, and literary scholars; it is used in political debate, works of art, popular entertainment, and historical accounts. In this book, Mark Marino argues that code means more than merely what it does; we must also consider what it means. We need to learn to read code critically. Marino presents a series of case studies—ranging from the Climategate scandal to a hactivist art project on the US-Mexico border—as lessons in critical code reading.Marino shows how, in the process of its circulation, the meaning of code changes beyond its functional role to include connotations and implications, opening it up to interpretation and inference—and misinterpretation and reappropriation. The Climategate controversy, for example, stemmed from a misreading of a bit of placeholder code as a “smoking gun” that supposedly proved fabrication of climate data. A poetry generator created by Nick Montfort was remixed and reimagined by other poets, and subject to literary interpretation.Each case study begins by presenting a small and self-contained passage of code—by coders as disparate as programming pioneer Grace Hopper and philosopher Friedrich Kittler—and an accessible explanation of its context and functioning. Marino then explores its extra-functional significance, demonstrating a variety of interpretive approaches.

With a sample of 63 964 W --> e(nu) candidates and 51 128 W --> μ(nu) candidates, we measure M(W) = 80413 ± 34(stat) ± 34(syst) = 80 413 ± 48 MeV/c^2. This is the most precise single measurement of the W-boson mass to date., This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and National Science Foundation; the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare; the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan; the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; the National Science Council of the Republic of China; the Swiss National Science Foundation; the A.P.

112. The resistivity of high-Tc cuprates

Author: R. Arouca and Eduardo C. Marino

Abstract: We show that the resistivity in each phase of the high-Tc cuprates is a special case of a general expression derived from the Kubo formula. We obtain, in particular, the T-linear behavior in the strange metal and upper pseudogap phases, the pure T 2 Fermi liquid behavior observed in the strongly overdoped regime as well as in the mid-pseudogap phase. We also describe the T 1 + δ behavior that interpolates the linear and quadratic behaviors in the crossover regime. We calculate the coefficients: (a) of T in the linear regime and show that it is proportional to the pseudogap transition temperature T *(x); (b) of the T 2-term in the Fermi Liquid regime, without adjusting any parameter; and (c) of the T 1.6 term in the crossover regime, all in excellent agreement with the experimental data. From our model, we are able to infer that the resistivity in cuprates is caused by the scattering of holes by excitons, which naturally form as holes are doped into the electron background.

Abstract: We analyzed new magnetic, bathymetric and seismic data acquired in the offshore sector of Somma-Vesuvius volcano (Italy). We detected a group of high intensity, short wavelength magnetic anomalies corresponding to partly buried volcanic dome-like structures located by seismic data. The magnetic anomalies are aligned along a NW–SE strike that is the preferential orientation of an eruptive fracture of the pre-19 ka activity of Vesuvius. Three cones emplaced before the Last Glacial Maximum, whereas a fourth one emplaced after 19 ka suggesting a rejuvenation of the eruptive system offshore the volcano in historical times. We also identified a NE–SW elongated magnetic anomaly consistent with a dike-like body associated to an on-land tectonic structure that was active in recent times at Vesuvius. A delta-like area with diffuse low intensity magnetic anomalies reflects the seaward fronts of lava flows entered the sea mainly during the Middle Ages.

Abstract: Leptin is abnormally elevated in the plasma of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), where it is thought to promote and/or sustain pro-inflammatory responses. Whether this association could reflect an increased genetic susceptibility to develop SLE is not known, and studies of genetic associations with leptin-related polymorphisms in SLE patients have been so far inconclusive. Here we genotyped DNA samples from 15,706 SLE patients and healthy matched controls from four different ancestral groups, to correlate polymorphisms of genes of the leptin pathway to risk for SLE. It was found that although several SNPs showed weak associations, those associations did not remain significant after correction for multiple testing. These data do not support associations between defined leptin-related polymorphisms and increased susceptibility to develop SLE. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract: A new commercial OSL dosimetry system was studied to analyze the possibility of its use for VMAT planning checks with end-to-end approach. The system was characterized and tested in conventional dose range (0,25–3 Gy). NanoDots (Landauer®), with new readout system MicroSTARii™, were characterized in terms of: signal decrease for repeated readings; angular, energy and dose-rate dependence. A calibration curve was obtained using 6 MV photon beam. Two VMAT plans, regarding lung lesions, were designed and optimized with: 6 MV, 600 MU/min, Eclipse TPS and Acuros XB algorithm for TrueBeam 2.5. Verification plans were created and performed both in RW3 and in anthropomorphic phantom, using end-to-end approach. The measurements in RW3 were compared to ion chamber measurement values. In anthropomorphic phantom, the OSLDs were allocated in apposite inserts, with different densities. NanoDots with new readout system MicroSTARii™ exhibited to be suitable for VMAT verifications with end-to-end approach in conventional fractionated treatments.

Abstract: 12052 Background: Cancer survivors face unique health challenges with implications on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. With advancements in cancer treatment and aging populations, the prevalence of cancer survivors is expected to grow prompting the need for improved survivorship care delivery and comprehensive rehabilitative services. Living Life Post Cancer Treatment (LLPCT) is a community-based 12-week program that provides multidimensional support to patients of any cancer diagnosis transitioning from active treatment to post-treatment life. This single-arm intervention study aims to assess the program’s impact on HRQoL and physical activity in cancer survivors. Methods: A total of 125 participants within 2 years of treatment completion were enrolled in a 12-week program comprised of 9 sessions of engaging workshops, personalized exercise training, and nutrition and psychosocial counseling with an interprofessional team of oncology providers, social workers, exercise trainers, and dietitians. The program consisted of 8 consecutive weekly sessions followed by a 1-month follow-up session at week 12. Ninety-six (77%) participants completed the eighth or ninth session of the program and were included in the analysis. A series of questionnaires were administered at baseline and weeks 8 and 12. Primary outcomes assessed were HRQoL using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) questionnaire and physical activity using average daily steps by pedometer and 2-minute step test performance. Results: Among the 96 participants (mean age 60.4 ± 11.7) who completed the program, the majority were female, white, and married. Post-intervention median FACT-G scores significantly increased from baseline at weeks 8 (+8.8, p = 0.002) and 12 (+7.3, p < 0.001). Average daily steps by pedometer increased by 1063 (p = 0.003) and 1233 (p = 0.015) and 2-minute step test performance increased by 18 (p < 0.001) and 21 (p < 0.001) steps at weeks 8 and 12, respectively. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction and improved self-efficacy to incorporate lifestyle modifications. Conclusions: These findings suggest that this 12-week intervention improves HRQoL and step-based physical activity levels in cancer survivors and could serve as a multidimensional model for post-treatment support. Further research is needed to determine if these benefits are sustained long-term.

Abstract: This paper describes the process of automatic identification of concepts in different languages using a base that relies on simple semantic and morphosyntactic characteristics like string similarity, difference in words amount and translation position on dictionary (when exists) and a neural network that has been used as a model of machine learning. All experiments use data that was obtained from a few categories of Read The Web (RTW) project and an endless learning computation system called NELL: Never-Ending Language Learning. The results were compared with dictionary and showed that the introduction of neural network brought a significant gain in the process of equivalence of concepts.

Abstract: The present paper aims to provide a schematic proposal of research on the acquisition of classifiers in the Peruvian Sign Language as a second language by hearing children. For this purpose, it is proposed to analyze in the project forty hearing children in contexts in which the Peruvian Sign Language is used. The objective of the study is to account for the processing of the acquisition of verbal classifiers in the Peruvian Sign Language in hearing children. These are hypothetical hypotheses that have the sequence of development of the verbal classifiers in Peruvian Sign Language in the acquisition of (1) verbal classifiers of an argument and (2) verbal classifiers of two arguments. This sequence is proposed due to the greater degree of morphological and spatial complexity that it presents (2). El presente documento ofrece una propuesta esquemática de investigación acerca de la adquisición de los clasifi cadores en Lengua de Señas Peruana como segunda lengua por parte de niños y niñas oyentes. Para tal propósito, se propone en el proyecto analizar a cuarenta niños y niñas oyentes en contextos en los que se emplean la Lengua de Señas Peruana. El objetivo del estudio consistirá en dar cuenta del procesamiento de adquisición de los clasificadores verbales en la Lengua de Señas Peruana en niños y niñas oyentes. Se plantea como hipótesis tentativa que la secuencia de desarrollo de los clasificadores verbales en Lengua de Señas Peruana es la adquisición de (1) clasificadores verbales de un argumento y (2) clasificadores verbales de dos argumentos.

Abstract: Objective To examine the associations of maternal weight status before, during, and after pregnancy with breast milk C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6), two bioactive markers of inflammation, measured at one and three months postpartum. Methods Participants were 134 exclusively breastfeeding mother-infant dyads taking part in the Mothers and Infants LinKed for Health (MILK) study, who provided breast milk samples. Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) were assessed by chart abstraction; postpartum weight loss was measured at the one and three month study visits. Linear regression was used to examine the associations of maternal weight status with repeated measures of breast milk CRP and IL-6 at one and three months, after adjustment for potential confounders. Results Pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG, but not total GWG or postpartum weight loss, were independently associated with breast milk CRP after adjustment (β=0.49, p

Abstract: Recently, in the literature, it was shown that the logarithmic renormalization of the Fermi velocity in a plane graphene sheet (which, in turn, is related to the Coulombian static potential associated to electrons in the sheet) is inhibited by the presence of a single parallel conducting plate. In the present paper, we investigate the situation of a suspended graphene sheet in a cavity formed by two conducting plates parallel to the sheet. The effect of a cavity on the interaction between electrons in the graphene is not merely the addition of the effects of each plate individually. From this, one can expect that the inhibition of the renormalization of the Fermi velocity generated by a cavity is not a mere addition of the inhibition induced by each single plate. In other words, the simple addition of the result for the inhibition of the renormalization of the Fermi velocity found in the literature for a single plate could not be used to predict the exact behavior of the inhibition for the graphene between two plates. Here, we show that, in fact, this is what happens and calculate how the presence of a cavity formed by two conducting plates parallel to the suspended graphene sheet amplifies, in a non-additive manner, the inhibition of the logarithmic renormalization of the Fermi velocity. In the limits of a single plate and no plates, our formulas recover those found in the literature., This work was partially supported by the following Brazilian Agencies: Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), and Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ).

Abstract: We derive two versions of an effective model to describe dynamical effects of the Yukawa interaction among Dirac electrons in the plane. Such short-range interaction is obtained by introducing a mass term for the intermediate particle, which may be either scalar or an abelian gauge field, both of them in (3+1) dimensions. Thereafter, we consider that the fermionic matter field propagates only in (2+1) dimensions, whereas the bosonic field is free to propagate out of the plane. Within these assumptions, we apply a mechanism for dimensional reduction, which yields an effective model in (2+1) dimensions. In particular, for the gauge-field case, we use the Stueckelberg mechanism in order to preserve gauge invariance. We refer to this version as nonlocal-Proca quantum electrodynamics (NPQED). For both scalar and gauge cases, the effective models reproduce the usual Yukawa interaction in the static limit. By means of perturbation theory at one loop, we calculate the mass renormalization of the Dirac field. Our model is a generalization of Pseudo quantum electrodynamics (PQED), which is a gauge-field model that provides a Coulomb interaction for two-dimensional electrons. Possibilities of application to Fermi-Bose mixtures in mixed dimensions, using cold atoms, are briefly discussed.

Abstract: International audience; Despite ongoing research in food web ecology and functional biogeography, the links between food web structure, functional traits and environmental conditions across spatial scales remain poorly understood. Trophic niches, defined as the amount of energy and elemental space occupied by species and food webs, may help bridge this divide.Here, we ask how the functional traits of species, the environmental conditions of habitats and the spatial scale of analysis jointly determine the characteristics of trophic niches. We used isotopic niches as a proxy of trophic niches, and conducted analyses at spatial scales ranging from local food webs and metacommunities to geographically distant sites.We sampled aquatic macroinvertebrates from 104 tank bromeliads distributed across five sites from Central to South America and compiled the macroinvertebrates’ functional traits and stable isotope values (δ15N and δ13C). We assessed how isotopic niches within each bromeliad were influenced by the functional trait composition of their associated invertebrates and environmental conditions (i.e., habitat size, canopy cover [CC] and detrital concentration [DC]). We then evaluated whether the diet of dominant predators and, consequently, energy pathways within food webs reflected functional and environmental changes among bromeliads across sites. At last, we determined the extent to which the isotopic niches of macroinvertebrates within each bromeliad contributed to the metacommunity isotopic niches within each site and compared these metacommunity‐level niches over biogeographic scales. At the bromeliad level, isotopic niches increased with the functional richness of species in the food web and the DC in the bromeliad. The diet of top predators tracked shifts in prey biomass along gradients of CC and DC. Bromeliads that grew under heterogeneous CC displayed less trophic redundancy and therefore combined to form larger metacommunity isotopic niches. At last, the size of metacommunity niches depended on within‐site heterogeneity in CC.Our results suggest that the trophic niches occupied by food webs can predictably scale from local food webs to metacommunities to biogeographic regions. This scaling process is determined by both the functional traits of species and heterogeneity in environmental conditions.

A prerequisite is to identify robust sets of continuous axes of trait variation, and to understand the ecological and evolutionary constraints that result in the functional trait space occupied by interacting species. Despite their diversity and role in ecosystem functioning, little is known of the constraints on the functional trait space of invertebrate biotas of entire biogeographic regions. We examined the ecological strategies and constraints underlying the realized trait space of aquatic invertebrates, using data on 12 functional traits of 852 taxa collected in tank bromeliads from Mexico to Argentina. Principal Component Analysis was used to reduce trait dimensionality to significant axes of trait variation, and the proportion of potential trait space that is actually occupied by all taxa was compared to null model expectations. Permutational Analyses of Variance were used to test whether trait combinations were clade-dependent. The major axes of trait variation represented life-history strategies optimizing resource use and antipredator adaptations. There was evidence for trophic, habitat, defence and life-history niche axes. Bromeliad invertebrates only occupied 16%–23% of the potential space within these dimensions, due to greater concentrations than predicted under uniform or normal distributions. Thus, despite high taxonomic diversity, invertebrates only utilized a small number of successful ecological strategies. Empty areas in trait space represented gaps between major phyla that arose from biological innovations, and trait combinations that are unviable in the bromeliad ecosystem. Only a few phylogenetically distant genera were neighbouring in trait space. Trait combinations aggregated taxa by family and then by order, suggesting that niche conservatism was a widespread mechanism in the diversification of ecological strategies.

Abstract: Purpose Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) approach for treating early stage solid tumor and metastases is increasing worldwide. In 2013 the Italian Association of Medical Physicists (AIFM) constituted a working group in order to standardize SBRT dosimetric aspects. A survey was designed aiming to delineate the status of the technology applied in SBRT on a national level. Clinical evaluation of SBRT was out of the present study. Methods A questionnaire was designed by three medical physicists expert of SBRT using Google Forms containing questions regarding image-guidance solutions, respiratory management, delivery mode, treatment planning system (TPS) commissioning, and QA approach. A large number of medical physicists from 54 centers with heterogeneous technology was invited to participate and 45 of them completed the survey. Experts were asked to provide suggestions based on personal experience and specificity. Results After two webcall and two versions, the final questionnaire was developed. Results showed great heterogeneity in terms of technologies, image-guidance solutions, respiratory management, delivery mode, TPS commissioning and QA approach. The most available delivery system was conventional linacs with VMAT modality; the most common energies used were 6 MV and 6 MV-FFF; for the 56% of centers robotic couch was available, CBCT was the most used IGRT technique (78% of centers) and 40% of centers did not use respiratory management during treatment delivery. The smallest measured field size for lateral beam profiles was lower than 1 × 1 cm2, while only the 62% of centers used the same field size for the TPS commissioning (from 1 × 1 cm2 to 4 × 4 cm2). A large number of centers (51%) feel the necessity to upgrade their dosimetric devices dedicated to SBRT QA. Conclusions This survey on SBRT could allow to improve the QA procedure and to define minimum requirements for SBRT dosimetric verification.

Abstract: Purpose Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a growing modality of complementary radiodiagnostic. It is applied in a wide range of clinical applications like dentistry, interventional radiology in an operating room and radiotherapy. When a new CBCT is to be installed, a preventive structural shielding design is needed in order to evaluate and limit the dose in the adjacent rooms under the national regulation thresholds. Scatter dose at a specific point is an essential input for a radiation protection project. Unfortunately we did not find in literature any systematic data set for scatter dose from a CBCT; values ranging from 2 to 40 μSv/scan at 1 m distance from the centre of the scattering media are reported in the European Commission Document “Radiation Protection N. 172” [1] and relative to dentistry applications. In the report ICRP 129 [2] the dose to the eye of an operator was reported ranging from 28 to 79 μSv for CBCT hepatic arterial embolisation and biliary tube placement procedures. The purpose of this work was to systematic measure the scatter ambient dose equivalent from a CBCT installed on a linac. Methods Primary kilovoltage beam was generated by a CBCT mounted on a VARIAN TRUEBEAM linear accelerator. The target is composed by tungsten (95%) and rhodium (5%); the permanent source filtration was 2.7 mm Alluminium with an additional filtration made of 0.89 mm Titanium. The primary beam irradiated an anthropomorphic CIRS Atom 701-D phantom (adult male phantom at thorax level) during a single complete gantry rotation. Scatter ambient equivalent dose was measured for 4 energy levels (80 K V p , 100 K V p , 125 K V p and 140 K V p ) and for 3 collimations (approximately 7 cm, 16 cm and 23 cm corresponding to a small, medium and large collimation) along the longitudinal axis (axis around which the X-ray source was rotating). Measurements were performed at a height from the floor equal to the isocentric level and repeated for different angles between the longitudinal axis and the line formed by the center of the irradiated region in the phantom and the measurement point. The used survey meter was the ATOMTEX AT1121. Results The scatter radiation (H*(10) in μSv/mA*min at 1 m distance from the center of the irradiated region in the phantom to the measurement point) was not isotropic at different angles for the same irradiation conditions. For radiation protection purpose only the maximum measured values are reported in the following table. Conclusions The reported H*(10) values give an idea of the scattered radiation from a kilovoltage CBCT installed on a VARIAN TRUEBEAM linac. A new CBCT installation with similar spectral features (e.g. same target and filtration) and outside a radiotherapy environment may benefit from these measurements for radiation protection purposes.

Abstract: Purpose Currently, most of the multicenter analyses on treatment planning rely on the extraction of selected data from the DVH of each plan. A grouped analysis can be biased due to different algorithms implemented in different TPSs used to generate the DVH. In this work we used a consistent method to present a preliminary analysis of multiple data coming from a national survey on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) planning. Methods A single spine case was shared among 36 radiation oncology centers. The dose prescription was 30 Gy in 3 fractions with specific constraints on target coverage and dose to nearby organs at risk. Data were collected in DICOM-RT format. A script was developed in R language using the RadOnc R-Package for recalculating the DVHs using the same algorithm. Specific DVH points (V30Gy, D90%, D2%) collected from the centers were compared with those recalculated with RadOnc. A grouped analysis of recalculated DVHs was performed therefore eliminating the bias due to different DVH calculation algorithms. Results Differences between collected and recalculated DVHs were minimal, however in some cases deviations up to 1.5% were observed. The multiple-DVH analysis showed a notable variability on target dose level (Fig. 1), up to 150% likely related to constraints on target coverage and SBRT technique. This variability was caused mainly by different planning optimization strategies, rather than by the use of a specific treatment technology. Conclusions The observed variability suggests that comparable standards in patient treatment among different centers can be obtained if a consistent high-level data sharing capability is granted. In the strive to harmonize the planning process, this analysis constitutes a first step toward the creation of a platform of crowd-knowledge-based planning guidelines. This platform could represent a high-quality benchmark for those centers that are willing to implement SBRT techniques (concept expressed in Fig. 1).

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of ascorbic acid (25, 50, and 100 μg/mL) in supplemented minimum essential medium (MEM+) on the development of equine preantral follicles that were cultured in vitro for 2 or 6 days. The contralateral ovaries (n = 5) from five mares in seasonal anestrus were collected from a local abattoir. Nine ovarian tissue fragments of approximately 5 × 5 × 1 mm were obtained from each animal. One fragment was immediately fixed and subjected to histologic analysis (control group; Day 0), and the other eight were placed in PBS supplemented with penicillin (200 IU/mL) and streptomycin (200 mg/mL) at 4 °C for 1 hour (during transport to the laboratory). The fragments were cultured in situ for 2 days (D2) or 6 days (D6) in MEM+ or MEM+ plus ascorbic acid at three different concentrations, establishing the following nine groups: control; MEM+ (D2); MEM+ (D6); MEM+ 25 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D2); MEM+ 25 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D6); MEM+ 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D2); MEM+ 50 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D6); MEM+ 100 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D2); and MEM+ 100 μg/mL of ascorbic acid (D6). The preantral follicles were classified according to their stage (primordial, primary, secondary, or antral) and their morphology (normal or abnormal). Slides (n = 951) including 4450 histologic sections were evaluated. Follicles were observed in only 4.85% (216 of 4450) of the histologic sections. Of the 407 follicles evaluated, 120 were in the primordial stage and 287 were in different developmental stages; additionally, 43.5% were morphologically normal. After 6 days of culture, the groups cultured with 50 and 100 μg/mL of ascorbic acid differed in terms of follicular development compared with the other groups. On the basis of occurrence of follicular development and the presence of viable follicles, it can be concluded that a positive effect of culture for 6 days in MEM+ supplemented with 50 and 100 μg/mL of ascorbic acid was observed on equine ovarian fragments.
