Introduction: The treatment of iridociliary and choroidal melanoma relies on the patient's systemic health, tumor size, location, related features, state of the opposing eye, and personal preferences. The two categories are radiation and surgical techniques. Transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque radiotherapy, charged particle irradiation, local resection, enucleation, orbital exenteration, and experimental nanoparticle therapy are all options for treating choroidal melanoma.
Case Presentation: The method that entails creating a partial thickness circular, rectangular, or polyhedral scleral flap in the region covering the tumor after removing a portion of the extraocular muscles is the most popular method for local excision in choroidal or choroidal-ciliary body cancers. We discuss our experience treating iridociliary melanoma using block excision and stereotactic irradiation on a linear accelerator with TD 20.0 Gy.
Conclusion: One of the treatment modalities is the combined treatment approach using stereotactic irradiation and tumor resection, and our results 1 year after therapy are comparable to the rates of local control and anatomic eye preservation to those achieved in studies of comparable uveal melanoma treatment modalities.

Autonomous tuning of particle accelerators is an active and challenging research field with the goal of enabling advanced accelerator technologies and cutting-edge high-impact applications, such as physics discovery, cancer research, and material sciences. A challenge with autonomous accelerator tuning remains that the most capable algorithms require experts in optimization and machine learning to implement them for every new tuning task. Here, we propose the use of large language models (LLMs) to tune particle accelerators.

Background/aim: HyperArc (HA) is an automated planning technique enabling single-isocenter brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT); however, dosimetric outcomes may be influenced by the planner's expertise. This study aimed to assess the impact of institutional experience on the plan quality of HA-SRT for both single and multiple brain metastases.
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients who underwent HA-SRT for single metastasis between 2020 and 2021 comprised the earlier group, while those treated between 2022 and 2024 constituted the later group.
Fundamental study on improving the quality of X-ray fluorescence computed tomography images by applying deep image prior to projection images as a pre-denoising method.

Purpose: We are developing a three-dimensional X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (3D XFCT) system using non-radioactive-labeled compounds for preclinical studies as a new modality that provides images of biological functions. Improvements in image quality and detection limits are required for the in vivo imaging. The aim of this study was to improve the quality of XFCT images by applying a deep image prior (DIP), which is a type of convolutional neural network, to projection images as a pre-denoising method, and then compare with DIP post-denoising.

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor was developed for the highly sensitive and specific detection of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and the rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). H-FABP is a biomarker that is highly specific to cardiac tissue and is associated with a range of cardiac diseases. Following myocardial injury, the rate of increase in H-FABP levels is greater than that observed for myoglobin and troponin.

Establishing energy correlations among different metals can accelerate the discovery of efficient and cost-effective catalysts for complex reactions. Using a recently introduced coordination-based model, we can predict site-specific metal binding energies (Δ ) that can be used as a descriptor for chemical reactions. In this study, we have examined a range of metals including Ag, Au, Co, Cu, Ir, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ru and found linear correlations between predicted Δ and adsorption energies of CH and O (Δ and Δ ) at various coordination environments for all the considered metals.
