Porokeratoses represent a rare group of skin diseases characterized by abnormal keratinization. The condition may have a genetic background and can be triggered by environmental factors, including UV exposure and infections. Several clinical variants of porokeratosis can be distinguished, including Mibelli's porokeratosis, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, superficial disseminated porokeratosis, and porokeratosis palmaris plantaris et disseminata.

Introduction: Contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (CR-AAA) refers to an acute aortic wall disruption leading to expansion of perivascular haematoma that is sealed off by peri-aortic structures. Low and middle income countries have a critical gap in managing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In Ethiopia, AAA screening is not routine and open surgical repair (OSR) using donated grafts remains the only treatment option.

Background Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has evolved into treatment of choice for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Type II endoleaks, although frequently benign, can lead to sac enlargement and rupture. Management of these endoleaks by endovascular means can be quite challenging and may require complex techniques and assistance of interventional radiologists, not always available in all vascular units.

The southern rivers of Peru originate in the Andes Mountains and flow in a southwestern direction to the Pacific Ocean through one of the most hyper-arid regions of the world. During each sub-equatorial summer from December to February, rains and snow melt in the Andes increase the streamflow in these rivers, even as they pass through the 100 km arid zone to the ocean. This study quantified seasonal dynamics of 34 trace metal elements (TM) and other constituent concentrations in four southern river basins of Peru (Chili-Quilca, Tambo, Camana-Majes-Colca, and Ocoña) during 2019-2020.

Background: Accurate and fast dose calculation is crucial in modern radiation therapy. Four dose calculation algorithms (AAA, AXB, CCC, and MC) are available in Varian Eclipse and RaySearch Laboratories RayStation Treatment Planning Systems (TPSs).
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare dosimetric accuracy of the four dose calculation algorithms applying to homogeneous and heterogeneous media, VMAT plans (based on AAPM TG-119 test cases), and the surface and buildup regions.
