Background and purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as a promising treatment for patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) who do not respond to standard treatments. However, the management of respiratory motion during treatment remains a challenge. This study aimed to investigate the effect of abdominal compression (AC) on respiratory induced motion in the heart. Materials

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The existence of social problems, crime, and a diminishing sense of community are acknowledged challenges to residents of deprived neighborhoods. In research on deprived neighborhoods in Sweden, the perspectives of young residents and adults of working age dominate. This study explores how older adults in deprived neighborhoods in Sweden experience crime and disorder, an

We provide a detailed map of the ages and metallicities of turn-off stars in the Milky Way disc based on data from GALAH DR3 and Gaia EDR3. From this map, we identify previously undetected features in the age-metallicity distribution of disc stars and interpret these results as indicating a three-phase formation history of the Milky Way. In the first phase, inner disc stars form along a single age

Radiological staging of rectal cancer dictates subsequent patienttreatment. In early-stage disease, local excision is associatedwith reduced morbidity, mortality, and costs, and maintainsbowel continuity compared with surgery, where the whole orpart of the rectum is resected1–3. Nearly 90 per cent of patientswith T1 rectal cancer have N0 disease and are therefore potentially curable with local res

Flera platser utmed den skånska kusten har idag problem med stranderosion som innebär att havet äter sig inåt land så att stränder och kustlandskap försvinner. När havet stiger förväntas stranderosionen att öka och även kust sträckor som idag inte har problem kan komma att drabbas. Då kustlinjen rör sig inåt land hotas bebyggelse, infra struktur och naturområden, samtidigt som översvämningsrisken Beach erosion is expected to increase as the sea level rises during the coming decades. A retreating coastline threat ens infrastructure, settlements, nature habitats, and at the same time increases the flood risk in low-lying areas. On the Swedish south coast, beach erosion is a problem at present likely to increase due to the sea level rise. For main taining the beaches and protecting the hinter
