OBJECTIVE
To study the influence of timing of postseed implant imaging on rectal dose-volume parameters for cesium-131 ((131)Cs) seed prostate implants.
METHODS
Fifteen patients were treated in our institution with combination (131)Cs brachytherapy followed by pelvic external beam radiation therapy
OBJECTIVE
Published clinical information on the safety and efficacy of (131)Cs implants is limited. We provide consensus recommendations for (131)Cs prostate brachytherapy based on experience to date.
METHODS
The Cesium Advisory Group (CAG) consists of experienced (131)Cs users. Recommendations are
OBJECTIVE
This study reports on prostate edema after prostate brachytherapy using Cesium-131 ((131)Cs) and describes our method to compensate.
METHODS
Thirty-one patients underwent brachytherapy using an afterloading technique. Volume measurements of the prostate were taken at various time intervals
Seed migration after interstitial prostate brachytherapy has been well documented in the literature. However, there have been no detailed reports of seed migration after permanent interstitial brachytherapy to treat cerebral malignancies. In this article, the authors report a rare case of seed
Regulation of wound pH from alkaline to acidic is a simple and powerful approach to reduce wound microbial colonization and infection. Here, we present a nanocomposite material possessing intrinsic acidic surface pH as an innovative antimicrobial wound dressing. This material comprises an agarose
OBJECTIVE
To examine the protective effects of histamine on intestinal damage produced by gamma-radiation.
METHODS
56 mice were divided into 4 groups. Histamine and Histamine-10 Gy groups received a daily subcutaneous histamine injection (0.1 mg/kg) starting 20 hours before irradiation and continued
