Epistaxis is a common complication of endoscopic sinus surgery. Bleeding occurs morefrequently due to injury of the sphenopalatine artery branches. Pathologies of the maxillarysinus that produce bone resorption and descent from the orbital floor into the sinus, exposethe orbital fat and the infraorbital artery (IOA) …..
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Australia. Recentadvances in radiation therapy (RT) allow large convex areas with extensive skin fieldcancerisation (ESFC) to be treated using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). RTdoses and volumes are planned by radiation oncologists from pre-treatment computedtomography …..
Introduction: Complex skin cancers (CSCs) may benefit from review by a specialist skinmultidisciplinary team (MDT). Accessing an MDT may be difficult for practitioners in nonmetropolitan settings. Technology has been promoted as a solution. We decided to pilot anelectronic or virtual skin MDT (eMDT).Methods: To gauge …..
Approximately 7% to 44% of ankle fractures involve the posterior tibial margin. Thesefractures tend to have a poorer prognosis than fractures without posterior involvement.Recognition of posterior malleolar fracture patterns is more important than fracturefragment size in decision making. Standard ankle radiographs are not effective fordiagnosing …..
In radiotherapy (RT), to determine the tumor volume (TV) and its morphology, computed tomography (CT) is used, acquiring images without and with intravenous iodinated contrast media (CM), where its influence has been poorly studied usually in artificial phantoms. Computerized dosimetries without and with CM from …..
Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is often given to symptomatic sites of multiple myeloma (MM). Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) is often the main modality due its efficiency but it may involve irradiation volumes which include organs at risk (OARs). A case of end-stage MM with innumerable skull …..
Lung adenocarcinoma is a lung malignancy most known for its prevalence among nonsmokers compared to the other non-small cell and small cell lung cancers. There is a genetic component involving a gene mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor which depending on the type of …..
Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer has remained predominantly incurable despite various advancements in cancer therapeutics. The lack of readily available and effective treatment options have driven research into alternative therapies, such as the use of marine natural products. Marine natural products are secondary metabolites produced …..
Aim: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) of the lower legs is a challenge to treat. Surgery can be difficult given the challenged blood supply. Radiotherapy (RT) is a controversial treatment modality and some radiation oncologists (ROs) will not offer definitive treatment for lesions below the knee …..
This study presents the applicability of a novel nitro-substituted heterocyclic compound NBQ48, member of the family of compounds identified as 3 nitrobenzazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium chloride salts (NBQS) as a screening tool to identify hypoxic tumor cells. The applicability was tested on COLO 205 colon cancer cells 2D …..
