Compact arc therapy systems and methods

Radiotherapy is the most widely used and effective anti-tumor therapy, however it can damage healthy tissues surrounding the tumor. One approach to reducing damage to healthy tissue involves irradiation at dose rates far exceeding those currently used in clinical contexts reduces radiation-induced toxicities while maintaining an equivalent tumor response. This is known as the FLASH effect. The mechanism responsible for reduced tissue toxicity following FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is still undetermined; multiple hypotheses have been suggested by linking the high dose rate to rapid oxygen depletion, immune response, reduction of peroxyl radical lifetime, preservation of normal tissue stem cells, etc. While effective, proton therapy is underutilized, contributing to fewer than 2% of all external beam radiation treatments. To overcome this shortcoming, provided are methods which utilize the highest energy layer and a universal range shifter (URS) to facilitate rapid spot arc therapy (RAPIDSPARCâ„¢).

3D printed UV crosslinking masks

ActiveUS12673139B2MethacrylateAnticoagulant Agent
Current approaches in small diameter vascular grafts for coronary artery bypass surgeries fail to address physiological variations along the graft that contribute to thrombus formation and ultimately graft failure. An interlayer drug delivery system can sustain delivery of heparin through the graft with a high degree of temporal and spatial control. A heparin-loaded gelatin methacrylate interlayer sits between a biohybrid composed of decellularized bovine pericardium and poly(propylene fumarate) and UV crosslinking is controlled via 3D printed shadow masks. The masks enable control of the resultant gelMA crosslinking and properties by modulating the incident light intensity on the graft. High doses of heparin have detrimental effects on endothelial cell function. When exposed to heparin in a slower, more sustained manner consistent with the masks, endothelial cells behave similarly to untreated cells. Slower release profiles cause significantly more release of tissue factor pathway inhibitor, an anticoagulant, than a faster release profile.
