0001), disease-specific survival (log rank, p=.01), and overall survival (log rank, p<.0001). On multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, endometrial thickness >20mm remained independently associated with an increased hazard of recurrence and death (HR=1.77, 95% CI 1.07-2.96, p=.03 for recurrence; and HR=1.68; 95% CI 1.07-2.65; p=.03 for overall survival). In patients with endometrial cancer, endometrial thickness>20mm as measured preoperatively by ultrasound, is independently associated with decreased recurrence-free and overall survival. This finding suggests that thick endometrium may be considered as one of the risk factors for poor prognosis. 20 mm as measured preoperatively by ultrasound, is independently associated with decreased recurrence-free and overall survival.

The advanced collapsed-cone engine (ACE) algorithm available for use in the Oncentra Brachy treatment planning system (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) can model these conditions more accurately and is evaluated for esophageal and surface mold brachytherapy treatments. ACE was commissioned for use then compared against TG43 for five esophageal and five surface mold treatment plans. XCT790 progestogen agonist Dosimetric differences between each algorithm were assessed using superimposed comparisons and dose-volume histogram statistics. Esophagus (6Gy per fraction) Compared with TG43, ACE demonstrated up to a 0.63% and 0.05Gy reduction in planning target volume (PTV) V100% and PTV D98, respectively. Lung D2cc and bone D2cc deviated by up to 0.09Gy and 0.03Gy, respectively. Lung D0.1cc and bone D0.1cc both deviated by up to 0.12Gy. Surface mold (4.5Gy per fraction) Compared with TG43, ACE demonstrated up to a 12.5% and 0.18Gy reduction in PTV V80% anred by ACE. Implementation should be considered for surface mold 192Ir treatment planning, but increased calculation time, additional contouring, and mass density assignment requirements should be scrutinized with regard to their potentially negative impact on current clinical practice. The present study aimed to analyse the impact of vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain deficit on postural control (PC) in children with sensorineural hearing loss. A retrospective study included 55 children with sensorineural hearing loss between 4 and 17 years of age. The Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT®) was used to assess semicircular canal function. PC was assessed on the Balance Quest® posturographic platform testing sensory organisation. Spatial and temporal postural parameters (area and mean speed of centre of pressure oscillation, spectral power index) in the OKN-U condition (optokinetic with unstable platform) were significantly better in children with than without VOR deficit. Posturographic exploration in the OKN-U condition can screen for semicircular canal deficit in hearing-impaired children. VOR deficit also seems to predict PC deficit.

Cryptotia is characterized by an absence of the upper part of the temporoauricular sulcus with the superior third of the auricle buried under the temporal skin. The principle of correction of cryptotia is to achieve both a functional and aesthetic ear. A 4-year prospective study was carried out in a single centre on infants with cryptotia. We introduce a two-staged approach for non-surgical correction of cryptotia and a treatment algorithm based on the age of the patient. In the first stage, we unbury the auricle over 2 weeks. The second stage involves 2 additional weeks of helical moulding to correct the
