The role of Modulation Complexity Score (MCS) of the VMAT and IMRT techniques in the treatment planning of left non-small lung cancer
...Show More Authors

Background: Lung cancer is a common disease for patients over the age of 50 years, especially males due to smoking habits. This study aimed to compare the modulation complexity score (MCS) for the advanced treatment planning techniques which the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients who had non-small lung cancerous tumors on their left side participated in this study. The range ages were 68 to 98 years, the heights were between 151 and 182cm and they having weights from 46 to 79 kg. For Each patient will create two plans dial using two different techniques, which will be Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) in the Monaco 5.1 version, and then those plans will be forwarded to the Infinity Linear Accelerator (LINAC). For the purposes of evaluation, the dose volume histogram is utilized to perform the calculation necessary to determine the dose for tumors and Organs at Risk (OAR). After that, the modulation complexity score, also known as the MCS, was determined using the multiyear collimators of the plans. Results: Showed that the mean age of males was (82.6 ± 4.93) years, while the mean age of females was (72.12 ± 3.13) years. The proportion of males was significantly higher than that of females. The female patient had a higher body mass index than the male patient. The mean height of men in this study was (172.85 ± 2.02) cm, while the mean height of women was (156.32± 1.21) cm. The coverage planning target volume (PTV) for the left lung tumor shows that the VMAT was significantly higher than the IMRT at 95%, 98%, 5%, and 2%. When comparing IMRT and VMAT for the PTV 105%, there was no discernible difference between the two. According to the statistics, the conformity and homogeneity of the dose delivered by the VMAT was noticeably higher than those delivered by the IMRT. According to the findings of the study, the MCS score for the VMAT is noticeably higher than that of the IMRT. In the case of the IMRT technique, the relationship between the MCS and the total number of monitor units was found to be positive and direct, whereas in the case of the VMAT technique, the relationship was found to be negative and inverse. Conclusions: The volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) shows a better coverage and less complexity technique and could protect the heart, spinal cord, and right lung than the IMRT.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Diagnosing Heart Disease in Humans: A Review
...Show More Authors

The electrical activity of the heart and the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal are fundamentally related. In the study that has been published, the ECG signal has been examined and used for a number of applications. The monitoring of heart rate and the analysis of heart rhythm patterns, the detection and diagnosis of cardiac diseases, the identification of emotional states, and the use of biometric identification methods are a few examples of applications in the field. Several various phases may be involved in the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, depending on the type of study being done. Preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, feature modification, and classification are frequently included in these stages. Ever

Background: Ideal root canal obturation depends on many factors; one of them is good sealing of root canal without pores. The aim of this study was to determine the radiographic density of GuttaFlow® 2 with different obturation techniques using spiral computed tomography. Materials and Methods: Forty palatal roots of permanent maxillary first molar were used in this study. Following working length determination, root canal was prepared using rotary PROTAPER universal system.

Resilience and Environmental Performance of SMEs: The Mediating Role of Ambidextrous Green Innovation
...Show More Authors

The disruptions in supply chains have put small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in dire need of resilient supply chains through which they can improve their performance. Based on the resource dependence theory, this study proposes a mediation model to improve the environmental performance (EP) of SMEs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of supply chain resilience (SCR) on EP mediated by ambidextrous green innovation (AMGI). We proved a structural equation model based on questionnaire data from 261 companies in Iraq to test our hypotheses. The results show that SCR has a positive effect on AMGI for proactive and exploitative green innovation dimensions and positive impact on SMEs’ EP. AMGI plays a media
