Multiple Anesthetics for Proton-Radiotherapy in a Child with Costello Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Costello syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by heterozygous germline Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (HRAS) gene mutations, and characterized by multi-system organ abnormalities. Associated craniofacial, cardiac, neurologic and musculoskeletal abnormalities may pose speci ic anesthetic challenges. Careful pre-anesthetic evaluation and planning is therefore essential to ensuring the safe delivery of care. In this case report, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and spontaneous ventilation was successfully used to facilitate 28 proton-radiotherapy treatments in a child with Costello syndrome. TIVA with LMA was also successfully used during anesthesia for MRI of the pelvis.

Impact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...

Introduction: Proton radiotherapy is the one of advanced teletherapy methods. The protons deposit their maximum energy in a position called Bragg peak. Therefore, for treatment of cancer, the tumor should be placed at the Bragg peak or SOBP. The scattered photons and neutrons is a challenge in proton radiotherapy. The aim of this study is calculation of absorbed dose from scatt...
