The present technology is directed generally to electrical stimulation and associated systems and methods. For example, the present technology provides stimulation schedules / regimens that are expected to reduce the amount of power required for paresthesia-free stimulation, while maintaining the benefits of paresthesia- free stimulation. This is accomplished by reducing the dose of paresthesia-free neurostimulation provided to a patient over time. The dose can be reduced without a corresponding reduction, or significant reduction, in effectiveness.

A method of treating an orexin-2 mediated condition in a human subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective daily dose of sitorraxen, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, when the subject is not suffering from liver injury. The method further comprises administering to the subject when the subject is suffering from a moderate liver injury, sitorraxone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, in a reduced dose that is lower than the daily dose.

A method for retreatment of a tumor includes the step of providing therapy pulses to the tumor according to a pulse reduced dose rate (PRDR) therapy pattern. The therapy pulse is a PRDR intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) pulse, including a proton pulse provided to the tumor. Also disclosed is a system for retreatment of a tumor, the system comprising: a first beamlet emitter for providing a first plurality of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) pulses according to a pulse reduced dose rate (PRDR) therapy pattern; and a second beamlet emitter for providing a second plurality of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) pulses according to the PRNR therapy pattern. The system also includes a controller configured to cause the first plurality of IMPT pulses and the second plurality of IMPT pulses to be provided to the tumor in a pulse sequence with a time gap between delivery of the pulses.

The present disclosure encompasses combinations of ralinepag with a cGMP-elevating agent or prostanoid such as riociguat, treprostinil, or iloprost for treating PAH. The disclosed combination therapy provides for advantages such as improved efficacy, improved safety, reduced doses and / or frequency of ralinepag and / or riociguat, reduced doses and / or frequency of ralinepag and / or treprostinil, and reduced doses and / or frequency of ralinepag and / or iloprost. In some embodiments, the clinical effectiveness of a reduced dose combination is additive or synergistic compared to that provided by the corresponding ralinepag, riociguat, treprostinil, and / or iloprost monotherapies.

This invention discloses an adhesive tissue equivalent compensation membrane for breast cancer radiotherapy, relating to the field of radiotherapy compensation membrane technology. It includes: an adhesive layer on one side that directly contacts the skin; a variable tissue equivalent layer; and an outer protective layer for providing mechanical protection while also ensuring compatibility with radiotherapy equipment. The proposed zoned adjustable microchannel / microcavity filling mechanism can locally adjust the relative electron density and water equivalent according to the radiation path, thereby achieving point-to-point spatial matching with the equivalent tissue thickness required by the radiotherapy plan. This mechanism fundamentally reduces dose perturbations caused by surface geometry irregularities or tissue inhomogeneities, allowing for more reliable reproduction of the dose distribution in the treatment plan during actual irradiation, and reducing the risk of underdose or overdose in near-surface and interface regions.

The invention discloses an error correction method based on a multi-leaf collimator, and relates to the technical field of radiotherapy, and the error correction method based on the multi-leaf collimator comprises the following steps: an error modeling step: collecting position images of the multi-leaf collimator at different rack angles through an electron radiation field imaging device, calculating an error value between an actual position and an ideal position of the blade of the multi-blade collimator based on the position image, and constructing an error function model delta x = f (G, N, X) taking a rack angle G, a blade serial number N and a blade position X as independent variables; a plan correction step: obtaining a multi-leaf collimator motion sequence and a rack angle sequence of the treatment plan; and calling the error function model, and calculating a prediction error delta x for each multi-leaf collimator leaf under each control point in the treatment plan. The error correction method based on the multi-leaf collimator is used for improving the calculation precision of the radiotherapy dose and reducing the dose deviation caused by the system error of the multi-leaf collimator from the source. The invention further discloses an error correction system based on the multi-leaf collimator, a storage medium and an error correction device based on the multi-leaf collimator.
