| IMRT spares bladder in prostate radiation
BOSTON, Oct. 11 Intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, spares the bladder more from direct radiation compared to 3-D conformal proton therapy, a U.S. study found.
The Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiation Oncology and Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, jointly conducted the study to determine the comparative benefits and drawbacks of IMRT versus 3D-CPT as treatments for patients with prostate cancer and to determine whether specific cases should be assigned to one treatment method over the other.

Islamic fanatic who plotted to kidnap soldier and broadcast his ...
He was heard discussing the plan with Khan in July 2006. Mr Rumfitt said that Gassama "never came up with the details of any particular individual" and the plan lay dormant before Khan revived it in November 2006. He had a further conversation with Gassama, when it became clear that Khan "was determined to go ahead with it". He showed his visitor videos of other beheadings. Gassama, who seemed to be torn between his support for Khan’s cause and his conscience, never visited the house again and Mr Rumfitt said that there was no evidence that he gave Khan any help "beyond giving him the impression that he would do so". But, Mr Rumfitt said, he failed to report Khan to the authorities. Khan turned to Mr Mahmood, who had extensive contacts in Birmingham. During a conversation recorded in December 2006, Khan talked with him about the possibility of tempting a soldier with "the white stuff", thought to be a reference to drugs, then "having a chit-chat with him" and "afterwards we can ambush him or whatever".
