Chest recoil generates V depending on an adequate distending pressure. This has previously been demonstrated in adult animals. A pressure of ∼25 cm HO is needed to achieve an adequate V delivery.

A better result can be obtained by starting with a DV-generated plan and then improving it by adding gEUD-based improvements to reduce the number of iterations and to improve the optimum dose distribution. Advances to knowledge The DV-gEUD plan provided superior dosimetric results for treating BBC in terms of PTV coverage and OAR sparing than the DV plan, without sacrificing the homogeneity of dose distribution in the PTV.

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy is a rare type of cerebral vascular malformation. It shows distinct angiomorphological features with a clinical presentation that differs to that of classic arteriovenous malformation of the brain. We describe a 15-year-old girl who presented with recurrent headache and limb weakness. A subsequent angiographic diagnosis of cerebral proliferative angiopathy was made. The clinical features, pathophysiology, and treatment of this condition are reviewed.
