FEASIBILITY OF POSTOPERATIVE SPINE STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIATION THERAPY IN PROXIMITY OF CARBON AND TITANIUM HYBRID IMPLANTS USING A ROBOTIC RADIOTHERAPY DEVICE

Abstract Background and purpose To assess the feasibility of postoperative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with hybrid implants consisting of carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone and titanium (CFP-T) using CyberKnife.Materials and methods All essential steps within a radiation therapy (RT) workflow were evaluated.Fir

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drive extensive horizontal transfer in the gut microbiome.This transfer could benefit human health by conferring new metabolic capabilities to commensal microbes, or it could threaten human health by spreading antibiotic resistance genes to pathogens.Despite their biological importance and medical relevance, MGEs from

The war in Ukraine triggered a big energy crisis, which particularly escalated in the winter of 2023 throughout all Europe.The crisis was a good opportunity for policymakers to encourage people to save electricity in the household.The aim of this paper is to analyse the changes in electricity saving behaviour and electricity consumption in Lithuani
