Background: Unlike conventional photon radiotherapy, particle therapy has the advantage of dose distribution. Carbon-ion radiotherapy is also advantageous in terms of biological effectiveness and other radiobiological aspects. These benefits lead to a higher response probability for previously known radioresistant tumor types.

If not diagnosed correctly, syphilis can progress to its secondary and tertiary stages, affecting numerous organ systems. We present a case of a 41-year-old female who developed a papulosquamous rash, initially diagnosed as varicella with progression to a widespread and painful rash over 3 months.

- A study investigated the effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue (HDC-ASCR) in treating high-risk pediatric patients with Ewing sarcoma (ES), a rare cancer.
- Over 17 years, researchers analyzed 20 patients who received this treatment, focusing on their disease response, complications, and survival rates.
- Results showed promising outcomes with a 5-year overall survival rate of 54.5%, indicating HDC-ASCR could significantly benefit patients compared to traditional treatments.
Background/purpose: Mesenchymal stem cells exhibit therapeutic efficacy for brain injury. This study examined the effect of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) on alleviating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Materials And Methods: SHED were isolated to examine the biosafety and bioavailability of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth-derived conditioned medium (SHED-CM) for the alleviation of PD symptoms in a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD zebrafish model.
