Gastrointestinal LCH: a rare manifestation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplasm marked by the proliferation of Langerhans cells, primarily affecting children under 2 years old. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in LCH is uncommon and often part of widespread disease.

Case Presentation: We report a 16-year-old female with a history of LCH, previously treated with 6-mercaptopurine and vinblastine, who presented with bloody diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

An anthropomorphic 3D printed inhomogeneity thorax phantom slab for SBRT commissioning and quality assurance.

Anthropomorphic phantoms with tissue equivalency are required in radiotherapy for quality assurance of imaging and dosimetric processes used in radiotherapy treatments. Commercial phantoms are expensive and provide limited approximation to patient geometry and tissue equivalency. In this study, a 5 cm thick anthropomorphic thoracic slab phantom was designed and 3D printed using models exported from a CT dataset to demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing anthropomorphic 3D printed phantoms onsite in a clinical radiotherapy department.

Radial Head Arthroplasty among Patients with Radial Head Fracture in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Proximal radial fractures are a common type of fracture around the elbow joint. Among these comminuted radial head fractures are commonly associated with secondary injuries and instability of the elbow joint. Management of the radial head in such cases is very important in restoring the stability of the elbow joint and starting early mobilization.

TROG 14.04: Multicentre Study of Feasibility and Impact on Anxiety of DIBH in Breast Cancer Patients.

Aims: The aim of TROG 14.04 was to assess the feasibility of deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and its impact on radiation dose to the heart in patients with left-sided breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Secondary end points pertained to patient anxiety and cost of delivering a DIBH programme.

Outcome of Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation II fixation of Peritrochanteric Fracture of Femur.

Background: Intramedullary fixation is biomechanically superior to extramedullary fixation for fracture of peritrochanteric region of femur in elderly which is often complicated due to associated osteoporosis. Helical blade of proximal femoral nail antirotation II has stronger purchase in the head of femur preventing rotation and cutout. This study was done to evaluate the outcome of Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation II fixation in B.
