pervisor/worker interaction during the RTW process, which may show that sick-listed workers and their supervisors have a joint responsibility for the RTW process. More insight is needed on how this supervisor/worker interaction develops during the RTW process.

Stated preference studies are a valuable tool to elicit respondents' willingness to pay (WTP) for goods or services, especially in situations where no market valuation exists. Contingent valuation (CV) is a widely used approach among stated-preference techniques for eliciting WTP if prices do not exist or do not reflect actual costs, for example, when services are covered by insurance. This review aimed to provide an overview of relevant factors determining WTP for health services to support variable selection.

A comprehensive systematic literature search and review of CV studies assessing determinants of WTP for health services was conducted, including 11 electronic databases. Two of the authors made independent decisions on the eligibility of studies. We extracted all determinants used and related p values for the effect sizes (e.g. reported in regression models with WTP for a health service as outcome variable). Determinants were summarised in systematic evidence tables and structured by thematic domains.

We identified 2082 publications, of which 202 full texts were checked for eligibility. We included 62 publications on 61 studies in the review. Across all studies, we identified 22 WTP determinants and other factors from 5 thematic domains sociodemographic characteristics, perceived threat, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, and other information.

Our review provides evidence on 22 relevant determinants of WTP for health services, which may be used for variable selection and as guidance for planning CV surveys. Endogeneity should be carefully considered before interpreting these determinants as causal factors and potential intervention targets.

The current study synthesized biocompatible nanocomposites from natural biomaterials towards inexpensive and safe cancer theragnostic. Two forms of nanocomposites were synthesized using the ionic gelation method 1. Chitosan/ Withania Somnifera /tripolyphosphate nanocomposites, 2. Withania Somnifera/Chitosan nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, and the transmission electron microscope. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyzed the Withania Somnifera root water extract, Chitosan, and the synthesized nanocomposites. The cytotoxicity of the nanocomposites was investigated against the colon cancer cells (Caco2 cells) in the absence and the presence of laser (665 nm, 5 mW) irradiation. MTT assay evaluated the cytotoxicity, and Trypan blue assay assessed the cell viability. Cancerous cells were photographed under the inverted microscope in the presence and the absence of laser irradiation. Results were analyzed statistically using one-way variance (ANOVA) analysis with Bonferroni post-Hoc multiple two-group comparisons. The characterization results ensured the successful synthesis of Withania Somnifera/Chitosan nanocomposites. The results showed an increase in the cytotoxicity against colon carcinoma and a decrease in cell viability in the presence and absence of Near-infrared laser irradiation under the action of nanocomposites. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized nanocomposites increased by exposing the cells to the laser. The shining light of the nanocomposites appeared on the cells photographed under the inverted microscope. The synthesized natural nanocomposites promise systemic cytotoxicity will be efficient in molecular imaging in vivo applications.To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of caries and periapical lesions on a monitor with and without DICOM part 14 grayscale standard display function (DICOM-GSDF) calibration under different ambient light conditions. Forty digital bitewing radiographs were selected, with or without radiographic images of carious lesions and forty digital periapical radiographs with or without periapical lesions were selected from archives of the Radiology Department at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Sergipe. The gold standard radiographic images were determined through consensus between two radiologists with more than 15 and 30 years of experience. The selected radiographs were evaluated on a LG LED monitor with and without DICOM-GSDF calibration under different ambient light conditions Lx1 (low ambient lighting), Lx2 (moderate ambient lighting) and Lx3 (high ambient lighting). Kappa (Kw) values determined that evaluator 1 showed almost perfect agreement for all devices, while evaluator 2 presented a substantial agreement for all devices. Monitors with and without DICOM-GSDF calibration have similar accuracy values. The three ambient light conditions analyzed have similar accuracy and can be used for caries lesions diagnosis (p > 0.05); however, the best diagnostic accuracy of periapical lesions was found in Lx 2. The displays with and without DICOM-GSDF calibration studied in this research have similar accuracy and can be used to evaluate digital radiographs without changing the diagnostic capacity. The different ambient lighting conditions did not influence the evaluation of caries lesions. The best diagnostic accuracy of periapical lesions was found in moderate ambient lighting.The purpose of this manuscript is to report our experience in the 2021 SIIM Virtual Hackathon, where we developed a proof-of-concept of a radiology training module with elements of gamification. In the 50 h allotted in the hackathon, we proposed an idea, connected with colleagues from five different countries, and completed an operational proof-of-concept, which was demonstrated live at the hackathon showcase, competing with eight other teams. Our prototype involved participants annotating publicly available chest radiographs of patients with tuberculosis. We showed how we could give experience points to trainees based on annotation precision compared to ground truth radiologists' annotation, ranked in a live leaderboard. We believe that gamification elements could provide an engaging solution for radiology education. Our project was awarded first place out of eight participating hackathon teams.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of translation of RadLex lexicon from English to German performed by Google Translate, using the RadLex ontology as ground truth. The same comparison was also performed for German to English translations. We determined the concordance rate of the Google Translate-rendered translations (for both English to German and German to English translations) to the official German RadLex (translations provided by the German Radiological Society) and English RadLex terms via character-by-character concordance analysis (string matching). Specific term characteristics of term character count and word count were compared between concordant and discordant translations using t-tests. Google Translate-rendered translations originally considered incongruent (2482 English terms and 2500 German terms) were then reviewed by German and English-speaking radiologists to further evaluate clinical utility. Overall success rates of both methods were calculated by adding the percesks, Google Translate may be a useful tool for translating multi-language radiology reports into a common language for natural language processing and subsequent labeling of datasets for machine learning. Indeed, string matching analysis alone is an incomplete method for evaluating machine translation. However, when human review of automated translation is also incorporated, measured performance improves. Additional evaluation using longer text samples and full imaging reports is needed. An apparent discordance between English to German versus German to English translation suggests that the direction of translation affects accuracy.CompreHensive Digital ArchiVe of Cancer Imaging - Radiation Oncology (CHAVI-RO) is a multi-tier WEB-based medical image databank. It supports archiving de-identified radiological and clinical datasets in a relational database. A semantic relational database model is designed to accommodate imaging and treatment data of cancer patients. It aims to provide key datasets to investigate and model the use of radiological imaging data in response to radiation. 1-Methylnicotinamide clinical trial This domain of research area addresses the modeling and analysis of complete treatment data of oncology patient. A DICOM viewer is integrated for reviewing the uploaded de-identified DICOM dataset. In a prototype system we carried out a pilot study with cancer data of four diseased sites, namely breast, head and neck, brain, and lung cancers. The representative dataset is used to estimate the data size of the patient. A role-based access control module is integrated with the image databank to restrict the user access limit. We also perform different types of load tests to analyze and quantify the performance of the CHAVI databank.Tusamitamab ravtansine (SAR408701) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), combining a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) targeting carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) and a potent cytotoxic maytansinoid derivative, DM4, inhibiting microtubule assembly. SAR408701 is currently in clinical development for the treatment of advanced solid tumors expressing CEACAM5. It is administered intravenously as a conjugated antibody with an average Drug Antibody Ratio (DAR) of 3.8. During SAR408701 clinical development, four entities were measured in plasma conjugated antibody (SAR408701), naked antibody (NAB), DM4 and its methylated metabolite (MeDM4), both being active. Average DAR and proportions of individual DAR species were also assessed in a subset of patients. An integrated and semi-mechanistic population pharmacokinetic model describing the time-course of all entities in plasma and DAR measurements has been developed. All DAR moieties were assumed to share the same drug disposition parameters, excepted for clearance which differed for DAR0 (i.e. NAB entity). The conversion of higher DAR to lower DAR resulted in a DAR-dependent ADC deconjugation and was represented as an irreversible first-order process. Each conjugated antibody was assumed to contribute to DM4 formation. All data were fitted simultaneously and the model developed was successful in describing the pharmacokinetic profile of each entity. Such a structural model could be translated to other ADCs and gives insight of mechanistic processes governing ADC disposition. This framework will further be expanded to evaluate covariates impact on SAR408701 pharmacokinetics and its derivatives, and thus can help identifying sources of pharmacokinetic variability and potential efficacy and safety pharmacokinetic drivers.
