Predicting Radionecrosis After Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for Solitary Brain Metastases: External Validation of a Univariable Model and Development of a Multivariable Model.
van Schaik EEMW, Crouzen JA, Mast ME, Broekman MLD, Hakstege MP, Mertens BJA, Kiderlen M, van der Voort van Zyp NCMG, Petoukhova AL, Zindler JD
Purpose: Stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) is a frequently used and effective treatment for patients who received diagnosis for brain metastases (BMs). Radionecrosis (RN) is a severe complication of SRT which may cause neurologic symptoms. A normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model has previously been established to predict the risk of RN based on the volume of healthy brain receiving ≥12 Gy. The aim of this study is to externally validate this prediction model. Methods and materia...

Assessing flexibility in meaning and context in non-human communication.
Fröhlich M, Aychet J, Clark PR, Crockford C, Dezecache G, Rebout N, van Schaik CP, Graham KE
The concept of flexibility in communication is central to reconstructing the evolutionary history of language, and grappling with "contextual flexibility" in particular is pivotal to address implications for pragmatics-first accounts of language evolution. Despite significant advances in the field, research is hindered by definitional inconsistencies and methodological gaps across modalities. We build on recent frameworks to propose further, detailed methods for studying contextual and...

Support from start to finish-a collaborative primary medical program in rural Victoria, Australia.
Harvey W, Van Schaik L, Develyn T, Ali Z, Hogarth C, Wright J
Australia faces a persistent shortage of doctors in rural and regional areas, exacerbating health disparities between urban and rural communities. Traditional medical education models, which have been largely centralized in metropolitan areas, often result in rural-origin students needing to relocate to cities for training, thus disrupting community connections and reducing the likelihood of their return to rural practice. To address this challenge, the University of Melbourne and La Trobe Unive...
