Beam characteristics of the first clinical 360° rotational single gantry room scanning pencil beam proton treatment system and comparisons against a multi-room system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present the proton beam characteristics of the first clinical single-room ProBeam Compact™ proton therapy system (SRPT) and comparison against multi-room ProBeam™ system (MRPT).

Materials And Methods: A newly designed SRPT with proton beam energies ranging from 70 to 220 MeV was commissioned in late 2019. Integrated depth doses (IDDs) were scanned using 81.

Genital Sweet's Syndrome in a patient with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.

A 71 year old male presented to the emergency room for evaluation of acute erythema, edema and pain of the penis and scrotum. There was initial concern for Fournier's gangrene, however labs were unremarkable and vital signs were stable. He did not improve with antibiotics.

Endoscopic Management of Penetrating Urethral Injury After an Animal Attack.

Initial management of urethral injury remains controversial concerning the use of suprapubic urinary diversion and delayed repair, primary open realignment, and primary endoscopic realignment. To our knowledge, we present the first reported case of a penetrating urethral injury because of an animal attack, without concomitant extragenitourinary system involvement, managed entirely endoscopically. This is a case of an 82-year-old male who presented to the emergency department after an attack by a semidomesticated deer.

Why Desired Newborn Circumcisions Are Not Performed: A Survey.

Objective: To identify why parents who want their child circumcised do not have them circumcised before the window for newborn circumcision (NBC) closes. We evaluate many patients in our pediatric urology clinic for circumcision in the operating room, which is associated with increased inconvenience, morbidity, and cost.

Methods: From 2010 to 2013 we surveyed 53 parents seeking NBC for their sons less than 1 month old.

Dosimetric and radiobiological comparison of CyberKnife M6™ InCise multileaf collimator over IRIS™ variable collimator in prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy.

The impetus behind our study was to establish a quantitative comparison between the IRIS collimator and the InCise multileaf collimator (MLC) (Accuray Inc. Synnyvale, CA) for prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Treatment plans for ten prostate cancer patients were performed on MultiPlan™ 5.
