Neurodevelopmental problems in pre-school children in rural Western Cape, South Africa: is community screening feasible? by Ben Truter, Christopher Gillberg, Amy L. Slogrove, Petra Conradie, Eva Billstedt, Lucy Thompson

“…This study aimed to assess the feasibility of introducing a two-stage screening model for neurodevelopmental disorders among pre-school children in the rural Western Cape, South Africa. Methods We adopted a mixed methods approach to evaluate the feasibility of using a brief screening questionnaire, the ESSENCE-Q, translated into local languages (Afrikaans and isiXhosa), through verbal administration to mothers of pre-school children by trained research assistants without professional health qualifications within a cross-sectional ESSENCE-Q validation study. …”

The results of quantitative evaluation of postradiation changes in lung cancer patients, which were obtained using a new procedure for analysis of dynamic X-ray computed tomography... by V. V. Ledenev, N. V. Nudnov, V. M. Sotnikov, D. V. Baryshnikova

“…The time course of a quantitative change in the median lung tissue density in the areas irradiated at different doses allows radiation-induced lung injury to be detected at X-ray CT until the visual signs of pneumonitis appear. A continuous, quantitative scale of changes will assist in more reliably and accurately studying post-radiation changes at a later time, and the time course of spaciotemporal changes will be able to compare and quantify lung injury when exploring new treatment methods and policies.…”
