Comparative analysis of residual setup errors in head and neck patients from upright versus supine radiotherapy postures

open access: yesMedical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Carbon‐ion rotating gantries use is limited by its large size, weight, and high cost. Gantry‐free modality enables the reduction of the overall size, weight, and cost. Among them, upright treatment, which utilizes fixed ion beamlines, in combination with a treatment chair capable of 360° rotation and adjustable pitch angle (enabling

Endocrine Disorders as a Contributory Factor to Neoplasia in SJL/J Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We studied the endocrine status of SJL/J mice. Light and electron microscopy revealed that the adenohypophyses of both sexes became progressively infiltrated with an abnormal number of gonadotropinproducing cells that probably secreted large amounts of ...

Diffusion Schrödinger bridge models for high‐quality MR‐to‐CT synthesis for proton treatment planning

open access: yesMedical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In recent advancements in proton therapy, magnetic resonance (MR)‐based treatment planning is gaining momentum due to its excellent soft tissue contrast and high potential to minimize extra radiation exposure compared to traditional computed tomography (CT)‐based methods. This transition underscores the critical need for accurate MR‐

FSH-producing pituitary neuroendocrine tumor as a cause of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

open access: yesEndocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports
Functioning gonadotroph tumors are rare neoplasms that can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women of reproductive age. Here, we present a case of a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-producing pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) with

The use of octreotide in pediatric patients: Practical applications for gastrointestinal disorders and beyond: A narrative review

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Somatostatin is a naturally occurring polypeptide hormone that exerts its effect on the gastrointestinal tract by reducing exocrine and endocrine secretion, resulting in decreased motility, gastric emptying, splanchnic blood flow, fat absorption, lymphatic flow, and gallbladder contraction.

Clinical perspectives and comparisons between immunoglobulin G4‐related disease and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis

open access: yesRheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Clinical perspectives and comparisons between immunoglobulin G4‐related disease and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis. Abstract Both immunoglobulin (Ig) G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis (AAV) are systemic disorders that affect a wide range of organs.
