    Abstract The National Hospital wanted to coordinate and promote the development of new minimally invasive procedures by structuring collaboration and communication across traditional speciality boundaries. To achieve this, a new hospital department has been established, a 'neutral ground' for working with such clinical applications in multi-disciplinary teams with surgeons, radiologists, cardiologists etc., individually composed for the type of intervention to be performed. The Interventional Centre also represents a full fusion of a modern radiology department with a state-of-the-art operating department, securing the use of relevant imaging technologies, aseptic conditions and options of converting any 'key-hole' procedure to open, conventional surgery within minutes. The Centre represents a new organizational model for such activities. It is also a technology centre, a common 'tool-box' securing better access and higher quality for the use of advanced radiological and surgical technology in our hospital.

    Abstract Producing compact voltage-controlled frequency generators and sensors operating in the terahertz (THz) regime represents a major technological challenge. Here, we show that noncollinear antiferromagnets (NCAFMs) with kagome structure host gapless self-oscillations whose frequencies are tunable from 0 Hz to the THz regime via electrically induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs). The auto-oscillations' initiation, bandwidth, and amplitude are investigated by deriving an effective theory, which captures the reactive and dissipative SOTs. We find that the dynamics strongly depends on the ground state's chirality, with one chirality having gapped excitations, whereas the opposite chirality provides gapless self-oscillations. Our results reveal that NCAFMs offer unique THz functional components, which could play a significant role in filling the THz technology gap.

    Abstract Background: Frailty is an aging-related syndrome of reduced physiological reserve to maintain homeostasis. The Faurot frailty index has been validated as a Medicare claims-based proxy for predicting frailty using billing information from a user-specified ascertainment window.
    Objectives: We assessed the validity of the Faurot frailty index as a predictor of the frailty phenotype and 1-year mortality using varying frailty ascertainment windows.
    Research design: We identified older adults (66+ y) in Round 5 (2015) of the National Health and Aging Trends Study with Medicare claims linkage. Gold standard frailty was assessed using the frailty phenotype. We calculated the Faurot frailty index using 3, 6, 8, and 12 months of claims prior to the survey or all-available lookback. Model performance for each window in predicting the frailty phenotype was assessed by quantifying calibration and discrimination. Predictive performance for 1-year mortality was assessed by estimating risk differences across claims-based frailty strata.
    Results: Among 4253 older adults, the 6 and 8-month windows had the best frailty phenotype calibration (calibration slopes: 0.88 and 0.87). All-available lookback had the best discrimination (C-statistic=0.780), but poor calibration. Mortality associations were strongest using a 3-month window and monotonically decreased with longer windows. Subgroup analyses revealed worse performance in Black and Hispanic individuals than counterparts.
    Conclusions: The optimal ascertainment window for the Faurot frailty index may depend on the clinical context, and researchers should consider tradeoffs between discrimination, calibration, and mortality. Sensitivity analyses using different durations can enhance the robustness of inferences. Research is needed to improve prediction across racial and ethnic groups.

    Abstract Background: Use of traditional opioids (TOs) for pain management has been associated with adverse outcomes among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). It is unknown if similar associations exist for tramadol, a partial opioid agonist and serotonin and norephinephrine reuptake inhibitor. We sought to compare adverse outcomes associated with tramadol vs TOs in an IBD population.
    Methods: This nationwide cohort study included adults with IBD diagnosed from 1995 to 2021 in Denmark with subsequent prescriptions for tramadol or TOs. For each analgesic, 2 populations were assessed: initial users (first prescription) and persistent users (first 3 consecutive prescriptions within 365 days). Outcomes included infection, bowel obstruction/ileus, IBD surgery, and mortality within 90 days after the initial use index date (date of first prescription) and within 365 days after the persistent use index date (date of third prescription). Odds ratios adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, and IBD severity were calculated using multivariable logistic regression.
    Results: We identified 37 377 initial users and 15 237 persistent users of tramadol or TOs. Initial users of tramadol had lower adjusted odds of infection (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.65-0.99), bowel obstruction/ileus (aOR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.53-1.03), and mortality (aOR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.35-0.55), and a higher adjusted odds of IBD-related surgery (aOR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.60) vs initial users of TOs. Similar results were found for persistent users.
    Conclusions: Tramadol was associated with lower odds of infection, bowel obstruction/ileus, and mortality vs TOs among patients with IBD. These associations may be impacted by residual confounding.

    Abstract Purpose: This work examines the dosimetric performance of two algorithms creating a corrected CBCT (corrCBCT) and a virtual CT (vCT) implemented in a commercial treatment planning system.
    Methods: 60 patients distributed across all patient groups treated with curative intent at Vejle Hospital (breast, lung, prostate and anal/rectal cancer) were selected for the present study. Clinical treatment plans were recalculated on corrCBCT and vCT, as well as a reference CT (refCT) acquired as close in time to the CBCT image as possible. Recalculated doses were compared using gamma analysis, as well as by comparing D
    Results: High dosimetric accuracy is demonstrated on both the corrCBCT and vCT. Gamma 2%/2mm pass rates >98% were found for all patients except two outliers still having >93% pass rates. Equivalence of all evaluated dose metrics within ±1Gy was observed for all patient groups, while the pelvic patients additionally showed equivalence for all metrics within ±1% of the refCT dose. For the thoracic patients, equivalence within ±2.5% was established for all metrics except median dose to the ipsilateral lung, calculated on corrCBCT for the breast patient group.
    Conclusion: The corrCBCT and vCT images are shown in excellent dosimetric agreement with refCT images, and show high potential for future use for streamlined adaptive radiotherapy workflows.

    Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is an X-linked recessive lysosomal disease caused by iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) deficiency, leading to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the emergence of progressive disease. Enzyme replacement therapy is the only currently approved treatment, but it leaves neurological disease unaddressed. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-directed administration of AAV9.CB7.hIDS (RGX-121) is an alternative treatment strategy, but it is unknown if this approach will affect both neurologic and systemic manifestations. We compared the effectiveness of intrathecal (i.t.) and intravenous (i.v.) routes of administration (ROAs) at a range of vector doses in a mouse model of MPS II. While lower doses were completely ineffective, a total dose of 1 × 10
