fMRI and Database Show a Dominant Side of the Brain for Handedness and Language
Utilizing a large psychometric and brain imaging database, researchers have demonstrated that the location of language areas in the brain is independent of left- or right-handedness, except for a very small percentage of left-handed individuals whose right hemisphere is dominant for both manual work and language.

Proton Therapy Has Better Outcome over IMRT for Advanced Head and Neck Cancers
Radiation oncologists compared the world’s literature on outcomes of proton beam therapy in the treatment of a range of advanced head and neck cancers of the skull base compared to intensity-modulated radiation therapy and found that proton beam therapy significantly improved disease-free survival and tumor control when compared to IMRT.
