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.

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.

However, the endoscopic distinctions between those two categories, microvesicular HPs (MVHPs) and goblet cell-rich HPs (GCHPs), are not well understood. Therefore, we compared the endoscopic features of SSLs, MVHPs, and GCHPs.

While the hard-templating method provides opportunities to design precisely controlled hierarchical micro- and mesoporous structures, synthesizing mesoporous zeolites without external precipitation requires significant work. This is mainly due to the absence of usable templates other than carbon with hydrophobic surfaces.
