Abstract Bolus plays an important role in the radiation therapy of superficial lesions and the application of 3D printing to its design can improve fit and dosimetry. This study quantitatively compares the fits of boluses designed from different imaging modalities. A head phantom was imaged using three systems: a CT simulator, a 3D optical scanner, and an interchangeable lens camera. Nose boluses were designed and 3D printed from each modality. A 3D printed phantom with air gaps...

Background: The possible gender impact on asthma arouses current and outstanding interest, but few studies addressed this issue in the real-world setting. Objective: This cross-sectional study tested the hypothesis of a potential difference between asthmatic males and females in a real-life setting, such as a third-level asthma clinic. Methods: A total of 499 asthmatic outpatients (301 females and 198 males, mean age 58.25 years) were consecutively visited. The visit included history, asthma control,...

New findings of branching variations in subclavian arteries and supra-aortic arteries in Felis catus
Abstract The branching of blood vessels around the heart is varied in each animal. Three branching patterns of the brachiocephalic trunk in cats have been reported. However, supra-aortic arteries in the hearts of cats have never been investigated. In this study, we hypothesized that the variations of the aortic arch, supra-aortic arteries, and vena cava were observed in domestic cats. Sixty-one hearts obtained from the cadavers of domestic cats (Felis catus) were analyzed in terms...
