    Abstract The notion of symptomatic epilepsy was historically reviewed. The structural etiologies of epilepsy include cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, neoplasms, and traumatic brain injuries. Infections are the most common etiology worldwide. Metabolic epilepsy directly results from a known or presumed metabolic disorder. Immune epilepsy occurs because of autoimmune-mediated central nervous system inflammation.

    Abstract Background: In-situ range verification of particle therapy based on the detection of secondary emitted radiation requires highly accurate assignment of elemental concentrations (particularly carbon and oxygen) in the human body.
    Purpose: A method for quantitatively predicting carbon and oxygen concentrations in human soft tissues is proposed. This method relies on an empirical one-to-one correspondence between the mass fraction and water content (WC), which is a measurable tissue quantity based on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (referred to as "MRWC-based method").
    Methods: A numerical analysis of the MRWC-based method was performed for 47 standard human soft tissues tabulated in the literature as objects of interest with unknown mass fractions of the four main elements-C, O, H, and N. Thereafter, the method was evaluated in terms of the mass-fraction quantification accuracy by comparing it with the gold-standard CT-based method developed by Schneider et al. The MRWC-based method was also applied to the MR imaging data of a virtual head phantom obtained from a three-dimensional MRI-simulated brain database.
    Results: The predicted mass fractions in a range of human soft tissues were in better agreement with the reference values than those predicted by the CT-based method. The mean absolute errors of the predicted mass% values for the overall standard soft tissues could be reduced from 4.8 percentage points (pp) (CT-based) to 0.5 pp (MRWC-based) for carbon and from 5.2 pp (CT-based) to 0.4 pp (MRWC-based) for oxygen. The application to the simulated MRI data confirmed the capability of the sufficient recognition of the boundaries between the white matter and gray matter in the brain that could not be realized by the CT-based method. Thus, the MRWC-based method exhibits superior performance in the prediction of carbon and oxygen concentrations in soft tissues.
    Conclusions: This study is limited to a proof-of-concept scope but demonstrates the feasibility of the MRWC-based method for the generation of elemental images of human soft tissues from MRI-derived water-content images.

    Abstract The use of extracellular vesicle (EV)-based vaccines is a strategically promising way to prevent cancer metastasis. The effective roles of immune cell-derived EVs have been well understood in the literature. In the present paper, we focus on cancer cell-derived EVs to enforce, more thoroughly, the use of EV-based vaccines against unexpected malignant cells that might appear in poor prognostic patients. As a model of such a cancer cell with high malignancy,

    Abstract In Japan, the number of patients with mental illness is increasing; therefore, the need for national measures, such as suicide prevention measures and measures against alcohol health disorders, and multiple social concerns and needs, such as depression and dementia problems, are increasing. As such, measures for mental health are emphasized. Mental health is a common issue; however, there is still prejudice regarding mental illness, and its understanding and awareness by local residents and medical staff need to be improved. The author introduced a medication self-management module in the psychiatric ward to improve medication adherence, and constructed a program for mental health literacy education in the faculty of pharmacy. This paper outlines these studies.

    Methods: We propose the DEEDZ-MD method, in which a single polynomial parameterization covers the entire human-tissue range to establish an empirical quadratic relation between the atomic number-to-mass ratio and Z
    Results: The numerical analysis of the DEEDZ-MD method reveals a single quadratic relation between the atomic number-to-mass ratio and Z
    Conclusions: The DEEDZ-MD method can facilitate the generation of ρ images from dual-energy CT data without relying on the nontrivial segmentation of different tissues.
