Purpose: Displacement minimization of seeds is crucial during surgery in brachytherapy; however, only a few reports have compared the operability of different seeds. TheraStrand-SL is a seed, in which TheraAGX100 is wrapped in polyglactin 910 thread, and intra-prostatic displacement is expected to be reduced compared with that of Thera-AGX100, owing to the complex shape of TheraStrand-SL. We conducted a prospective study on the operability and treatment outcomes of TheraAGX100 and TheraStrand-SL placement by a single operator.

- * Results showed an increase in mental health issues, with the average K6 score rising from 3.13 to 3.86, and the percentage of trainees with poor mental health increasing significantly between surveys.
- * Key findings revealed that insomnia and increased years of training were linked to higher K6 scores, highlighting the need for better support regarding sleep conditions and training experiences for these trainees.
Introduction: Limited information is available on the biological effects of whole-body exposure to quasi-millimeter waves (qMMW). The aim of the present study was to determine the intensity of exposure to increase body temperature and investigate whether thermoregulation, including changes in skin blood flow, is induced in rats under whole-body exposure to qMMW.
Methods: The backs of conscious rats were extensively exposed to 28 GHz qMMW at absorbed power densities of 0, 122, and 237 W/m for 40 minutes.
Background/aim: The widespread use of fifth-generation 5G millimeter-waves (MMW) generates concern about potential adverse health effects. The latest international guidelines for MMW exposure adopt an absorbed power density (APD) of 200 W/m to avoid a local temperature rise of 5°C in human tissues as an operational adverse health effect threshold. However, because APD is estimated by simulations using human tissue models, it is unknown whether a similar value can be confirmed for living tissues.

Methods: Among the new patients at an institution, 81 who were working and had the ICD-10 diagnoses F3 and F4 were included. Resilience was measured at the initial visit and 3 months later using the S-H resilience test.
