EVALUATING SINGLE-INSTITUTION RESOURCE COSTS OF CONSOLIDATIVE RADIOTHERAPY FOR OLIGOMETASTATIC NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER USING TIME-DRIVEN ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING

Background:: Consolidative radiotherapy (RT) has been shown to improve overall survival in oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as demonstrated by a growing number of prospective trials.Objective:: We quantified the costs of delivery of consolidative RT for common L-Arginine clinical pathways associated with treating oligometastatic

Abstract Background The use of surgical metal clips is crucial for ligating vessels in various operations.The currently available metal clips have several drawbacks; they are permanent and interfere with imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and carry the potential risk of endo-clip migration.We rece

Abstract One of the most difficult challenges for modern manufacturing is reducing carbon emissions.This paper focuses on the green scheduling problem in a flexible job shop system, taking into account energy consumption and worker learning effects.With the objective of simultaneously minimizing the makespan and total Helmet carbon emissions, the g
