Modeling plan-related clinical complications using machine learning tools in a multiplan IMRT framework.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: To predict organ-at-risk (OAR) complications as a function of dose-volume (DV) constraint settings without explicit plan computation in a multiplan intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) framework. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Several plans were ... Read more...

Atrophic change of tongue papilla in 44 patients with Sjögren syndrome.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the atrophic change of tongue papilla in Sjögren syndrome (SjS) patients and the correlation with characteristic features of the disease. STUDY DESIGN: Atrophic change of tongue papilla, ... Read more...

Separate signals for orthonasal vs. retronasal perception of food but not nonfood odors.

30 May 2009 There is a controversy concerning whether smelling via the nose (ortho-nasally) or the mouth (retro-nasally) represent two routes to the same modality or two distinct submodalities. Since olfactory coding is dependent upon experience, and since food ... Read more...
