How they collaborate, especially in chronic disease management (CDM), is still limited described in the literature. This study aims to gain ...
Evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in osteosarcoma using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI : development and external validation of a model Ghent University
ObjectiveTo identify which dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-)MRI features best predict histological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with an osteosarcoma.MethodsPatients with osteosarcoma who underwent DCE-MRI before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to resection were retrospectively included at two different centers. Data from the center with the larger cohort (training cohort) was used to identify which method for ...
Diagnosis and monitoring denosumab therapy of giant cell tumors of bone : radiologic-pathologic correlation Ghent University
ObjectiveTo determine the value of CT and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-)MRI for monitoring denosumab therapy of giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) by correlating it to histopathology.Materials and methodsPatients with GCTB under denosumab treatment and monitored with CT and (DCE-)MRI (2012-2021) were retrospectively included. Imaging and (semi-)quantitative measurements were used to assess response/relapse. Tissue samples were analyzed using ...

In this context, this paper investigates how teachers in Pakistan leveraged mobile technology as an ...
Skeletal age estimation of living adolescents and young adults : a pilot study on conventional radiography versus magnetic resonance imaging and staging technique versus atlas method Ghent University KU Leuven
Objective: To compare conventional radiography (CR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the left hand/ wrist and both clavicles for forensic age estimation of adolescents and young adults. Materials and Methods: CR and MRI were prospectively conducted in 108 healthy Caucasian volunteers (52 males, 56 females) aged 16 to 21 years. Skeletal development was assessed by allocating stages (wrist, clavicles) and atlas standards (hand/wrist). ...
Empowering novice teachers : the design and validation of a competence model to manage verbal aggressive behaviour in the classroom Ghent University
(1) Background: Dealing with students’ maladaptive behaviour in the classroom, such as verbal aggressive behaviour, is challenging, particularly for novice teachers. They often encounter limited opportunities for training and practice in handling such incidents during their pre-service education, rendering them ill-equipped and uncertain when confronted with instances of verbal aggression during their initial teaching experiences. This article ...
