Emittance of compact microwave ion source for low energy application.

The emittance of the compact microwave ion source for low energy application was investigated. The source structure was slightly modified from the previously reported version. The extraction apertures of 3 mm and 4 mm were used to evaluate the emittance.

Necrotizing sialometaplasia of the parotid gland associated with angiocentric T-cell lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature.

A very rare case of necrotizing sialometaplasia of the parotid gland associated with angiocentric T-cell lymphoma was described. A 66-year-old male had left neck and pharyngeal masses and biopsy specimen showed a monotonous proliferation of atypical lymphoid cells with massive necrosis in the parotid gland. Angiocentric pattern or vascular invasion by the lymphoid cells was observed and the involved parotid gland exhibited squamous metaplasia of the ducts and acini; necrotizing sialometaplasia.

Stromal sarcoma with features of giant cell malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

We report a case of primary giant cell malignant fibrous histiocytoma (GCMFH) of the breast. A 56-year-old Japanese woman presented with a firm mass in the right breast. Mammography and ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed and lobulated mass in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast, indicative of a benign breast tumor or mucinous carcinoma.

"End-stage kidney" in longstanding bulimia nervosa.

Objective: The extent of renal damage over long-term binge/purges has not been well documented in bulimia nervosa (BN).

Method: We describe a 52-year-old woman with longstanding BN subsequent to an 8-year history of anorexia nervosa (AN).

Results: The patient showed chaotic binge/purges and chronic severe hypokalemia after recovery from AN at age 26 years, and renal biopsy showed juxtaglomerular hyperplasia, which was diagnosed as pseudo-Bartter's syndrome.
