Geometric changes of parotid glands caused by hydration during chemoradiotherapy
BACKGROUND Plan adaptation during the course of (chemo)radiotherapy of H&N cancer requires repeat CT scanning to capture anatomy changes such as parotid gland shrinkage. Hydration, applied to prevent nephrotoxicity from cisplatin, could temporarily alter the hydrogen balance and hence the captured anatomy. The aim of this study was to determine geometric changes of parotid glands as function of...
متن کاملPositional changes in parotid glands during head and neck radiation therapy
Introduction: Xerostomia is the most common complication due to radiation–induced damage to salivary glands in head and neck cancer radiotherapy and it reduces quality of life. Parotid glands are main glands which they are account for secretion of stimulated saliva. Studies have demonstrated that mean tolerance parotid’s radiation dose under 26-30 Gy result in an increase in t...
متن کاملAortoesophageal fistula caused by tumor recurrence after esophagectomy during chemoradiotherapy
Aortoesophageal Fistula (AEF) is an extremely rare complication after esophagectomy and it is lifethreatening. Here we present a patient who developed AEF due to chemoradiotherapy for tumor recurrence after esophagectomy. The management of an aorta fistula by deploying a stent graft into the aorta stopped the bleeding successfully. Unfortunately, the patient had symptoms and his general conditi...
متن کاملFat deposition of parotid glands.
UNLABELLED Parotid gland parenchyma histology may be altered by local or systemic, pathological or nonpathological conditions. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to highlight the fatty degeneration of the parotid gland, a not well-known non-pathological condition. METHOD In a retrospective study, we collected a series of 6 patients which presented a swelling of the parotid, but even after extensive ...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Study on Inelastic Torsion Caused By Nonlinear Behavior Changes during Earthquake Excitations
Torsion of many symmetric structures, which were designed based on the seismic codes, is due to their asymmetricity induced during inelastic behavior. Although the structure was designed symmetrically assuming elastic based criteria, different factors such as material inconsistency in structure, construction details discrepancy and construction errors may result in asymmetric behavior in inelas...
