Very late local recurrence of uveal melanoma following successful trans-scleral local resection

Current Problems in Cancer: Case Reports, 2020
A 39-year old Caucasian man underwent extensive trans-scleral iridocyclochoroidectomy (without adjuvant plaque brachytherapy or proton beam therapy) for a large choroidal and ciliary body melanoma in 1989. The resected tumour was of spindle cell type and

Numerical Investigation of a Dual‐Mode Shape Memory Alloy Stent Enabling Secondary Expansion via Focused Ultrasound: A Potential Strategy for Correcting In‐Stent Restenosis

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
This study demonstrates a novel noninvasive strategy to treat in‐stent restenosis using focused ultrasound. A shape memory alloy stent initially expands at body temperature. If restenosis occurs, targeted ultrasound heating thermally actuates the stent, enabling a secondary expansion to reopen the blocked vessel, offering a potential alternative to ...

The use of imbricated sutures in radioactive plaque brachytherapy surgery

Clinical Ophthalmology, 2010
This paper describes a new technique to suture the radioactive plaque to sclera. The radioactive plaque is conventionally sutured to the sclera using 5/0 nylon sutures. The imbricated suture technique involves using a 1/0 silk or 2/0 mersilene suture imbricated with the 5/0 nylon suture when the nylon suture is tied and cut.

Knowledge based automated planning for non‐coplanar VMAT stereotactic radiosurgery in ocular malignancies

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background and purpose Stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to enucleation in the management of ocular malignancies. SRS/SRT planning is time‐consuming, complex, and the plan quality depends on the experience of the treatment planner.

Application of Brachytherapy in Postoperative Treatment of Keloid‐Prone Patients

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Keloids are benign fibroproliferative tumors that often recur after surgical excision. Combining surgery with postoperative radiotherapy has emerged as a potential treatment strategy, though optimal radiotherapy protocols remain debated.

Sympathetic ophthalmia after ruthenium plaque brachytherapy [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007
Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare, bilateral inflammatory process with an incidence of 0.03/100 000 in the UK and Ireland.1 It usually follows either penetrating eye injury or intraocular surgery. Although sympathetic ophthalmia has previously been described after irradiation of ocular melanoma,2,3 it has never been reported after simple 106Ru plaque ...
