Utility of 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation (3D-DESS-WE) in diagnosing intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep
March 2025
Department of Radiology, The Jikei University School of Medicine, 3-25-8 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-8461, Japan.
Differentiating intraparotid facial nerve schwannoma from other parotid tumors, particularly pleomorphic adenoma, is clinically crucial due to significant differences in treatment approaches. We report a case of a male patient in his 70s presenting with a left parotid mass. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a mass within the left parotid gland exhibiting the characteristic ``target sign''.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Jichi Medical University, Tochigi, Japan.
Purpose: This multi-institutional observational study aimed to assess the incidence, severity, and impact of radiotherapy-related late toxicities of the cervical skin and soft tissue in head and neck cancer patients. We also explored patient interest in fat grafting as a potential treatment for skin and soft tissue sequelae.
Methods: This study was conducted across 19 institutions in Japan.

Introduction: Tedizolid is a novel antibiotic of the class ofoxazolidinones. This review evaluates the published literature on the optic andperipheral neuropathy associated with short and prolonged administration oftedizolid.
Areas Covered: A review of published data from 4 databases was conducted,regarding the development of optic and peripheral neuropathy in patients whoreceived tedizolid for short or prolonged duration.
Quantification of beam size impact on intensity-modulated proton therapy with robust optimization in head and neck cancer-comparison with intensity-modulated radiation therapy.

Section of Radiation Safety and Quality Assurance, National Cancer Center Hospital East, 6-5-1 Kashiwanoha, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-8577, Japan.
We assessed the effect of beam size on plan robustness for intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) of head and neck cancer (HNC) and compared the plan quality including robustness with that of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). IMPT plans were generated for six HNC patients using six beam sizes (air-sigma 3-17 mm at isocenter for a 70-230 MeV) and two optimization methods for planning target volume-based non-robust optimization (NRO) and clinical target volume (CTV)-based robust optimization (RO). Worst-case dosimetric parameters and plan robustness for CTV and organs-at-risk (OARs) were assessed under different scenarios, assuming a ± 1-5 mm setup error and a ± 3% range error.
