Multilayered organosiloxane films with self-healing ability converted from block copolymer nanocomposites.

Self-healable, multilayered organosiloxane films were prepared thermal conversion of lamellar organosiloxane films containing poly(ethylene oxide)-polydimethylsiloxane-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers. The incorporation of silanolate groups enabled crack healing through dynamic siloxane equilibration. The enhanced hardness and suppressed cyclic siloxane formation resulting from the multilayered structure exhibit potential for practical applications.

Efficacy of eribulin monotherapy for bone marrow carcinomatosis of breast cancer in a patient with Werner syndrome.

Various complications and potential risks of serious adverse events lessens the intensity of chemotherapy in patients with Werner syndrome. Bone marrow carcinomatosis of breast cancer was developed in a patient with Werner syndrome. Eribulin proved well tolerated and effective in improving severe thrombocytopenia, leading to platelet transfusion-free status.

Case of Radiation-Induced Angiosarcoma after Breast-Conserving Surgery with Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in a Japanese Patient.

Radiation-induced angiosarcoma (RIAS) is a rare, late adverse event of radiotherapy comprising approximately half of all radiation-induced sarcomas. It has a relatively short latency period and generally unfavorable prognosis. This study presents a case of RIAS that developed 5 years and 11 months after the completion of hypofractionated radiotherapy (42.

Assessment of factors affecting anterior chamber depth from data obtained from health checkup participants in Japan.

Measurement of anterior chamber depth (ACD), an important marker for the screening of primary angle-closure glaucoma, requires biometry, which is not readily used. This study assessed the relationship between ACD and health check-up data findings from participants with good corrected visual acuity in Japan. Participants underwent ophthalmic, anthropometric, and hematological assessments.
