    Abstract Purpose: To identify variables correlated with radiation dose during hepatic chemoembolization, quantify their individual impact, and apply these findings to build a dose prediction model.
    Methods: A retrospective review of 77 patients undergoing hepatic chemoembolization between 1/2010-10/2010 was performed. Variables included: Radiation dose metrics[DAP, CD, number of cone beam CT and fluoroscopy time] and clinical parameters(BMI, session number, extrahepatic embolization, lesion number, chemoembolization regimen and lobe(s) treated). CD was the primary outcome measurement used for the dose model. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were used to assess the association between dose metrics and predictive variables and assess the relative impact of each variable on dose. Variables were considered statistically significant at the p<0.05 level. Coefficient of determination(R2)and root mean square error(RMSE) were calculated for CD. R2 was used to evaluate goodness of fit and RMSE was used to establish a measurement of the typical size of the error in predicting the cumulative dose.
    Results: Based on the multivariate analysis: higher BMI, regimen, single lesions, 1° tumor and initial session were statistically significant and incorporated into the following dose prediction model: Predicted Dose(mGy)= -672+BMI(56.3)+558(session #1)+1789(extrahepatic a. embolized)+232(1°tumor)+[-667(2-4 lesions)or - 12(>5 lesions)]+[370(dox-bead regimen)or 1618(ethiodol based regimen)]. Plots of the predicted vs actual CD were performed and the adjusted R2 for CD is 52.9%(RMSE = 697). The model is accurate at predicting 52% of the variation. When the model predicts a dosage of 1000 or 2000 mGy the actual dose interval ranges from 519-2519 mGy or 384-3616 mGy, respectively.
    Conclusions: Creating a radiation dose prediction model is feasible. This is the first known attempt at creating a dose model for image guided intervention and refinements to the model will be required to improve its accuracy. Prospective dose modeling will become more relevant as the cost benefit analysis of radiation exposure enters the decision making process in patient care.

    Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating sequela that is difficult for both clinicians and cancer patients to manage. Precise mechanisms of CIPN remain elusive and current clinically prescribed therapies for CIPN have limited efficacy. Recent studies have begun investigating the interactions between the peripheral and central nervous systems and the immune system. Understanding these neuroimmune interactions may shift the paradigm of elucidating CIPN mechanisms. Although the contribution of immune cells to CIPN pathogenesis represents a promising area of research, its fully defined mechanisms have not yet been established. Therefore, in this review, we will discuss (i) current shortcoming of CIPN treatments, (ii) the roles of neuroimmune interactions in CIPN development and (iii) potential neuroimmune interaction-targeting treatment strategies for CIPN. Interestingly, monocytes/macrophages in dorsal root ganglia; microglia and astrocytes in spinal cord; mast cells in skin; and Schwann cell near peripheral nerves have been identified as inducers of CIPN behaviors, whereas T cells have been found to contribute to CIPN resolution. Additionally, nerve-resident immune cells have been targeted as prevention and/or therapy for CIPN using traditional herbal medicines, small molecule inhibitors, and intravenous immunoglobulins in a preclinical setting. Overall, unveiling neuroimmune interactions associated with CIPN may ultimately reduce cancer mortality and improve cancer patients' quality of life.

    Abstract Background: Multiple reports have described myopericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. However, data on the persistence of subclinical myocardial injury assessed by left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain (LVLS) is limited.
    Objectives: Our aim was to assess LV function longitudinally in our cohort of COVID-19 vaccine-related myopericarditis using ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), LVLS, and diastolic parameters.
    Methods: Retrospective, single-center review of demographic, laboratory, and management data was performed on 20 patients meeting diagnostic criteria for myopericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Echocardiographic images were obtained on initial presentation (time 0), at a median of 12 days (7.5, 18.5; time 1), and at a median of 44 days (29.5, 83.5; time 2). FS was calculated by M-mode, EF by 5/6 area-length methods, LVLS by utilization of TOMTEC software, and diastolic function by tissue Doppler. All parameters were compared across pairs of these time points using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
    Results: Our cohort consisted predominantly of adolescent males (85%) with mild presentation of myopericarditis. The median EF was 61.6% (54.6, 68.0), 63.8% (60.7, 68.3), 61.4% (60.1, 64.6) at times 0, 1, and 2, respectively. Upon initial presentation, 47% of our cohort had LVLS < -18%. The median LVLS was -18.6% (-16.9, -21.0) at time 0, -21.2% at time 1 (-19.4, -23.5) (p = 0.004) and -20.8% (-18.7, -21.7) at time 2 (p = 0.004, as compared to time 0).
    Conclusions: Though many of our patients had abnormal strain during acute illness, LVLS improved longitudinally, indicating myocardial recovery. LVLS can be used as marker of subclinical myocardial injury and risk stratification in this population.
