US Study Says Third Course of Radiation Therapy May Improve Survival and Symptoms in Children with Recurrent DIPG

According to news from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the United States on September 2, researchers at the institution released a new study on re-irradiation for recurrent diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The study shows that carefully selected pediatric patients who receive a third course of radiation therapy after disease recurrence may achieve symptom relief, improved quality of life, and potentially prolonged survival. The related study has been published in Practical Radiation Oncology. DIPG is a highly aggressive pediatric brain tumor that occurs in the brainstem region. The brainstem controls critical life functions such as breathing and movement, so the tumor usually cannot be removed surgically. Data show that DIPG mainly affects children aged 5 to 10, and even...

Fuse Energy Technologies Corp. Reports FAETON-X Single-Shot D-D Fusion Neutron Yield of 1.27×10¹²

Fuse Energy Technologies Corp., headquartered in California, USA, announced on August 11 that its megajoule-class dense plasma focus device FAETON-X measured a peak neutron yield of (1.27±0.27)×10¹² neutrons per shot in a single D-D fusion experiment. The company stated that this is one of the highest single-shot fusion neutron yields publicly recorded by a commercial fusion enterprise, and the first to reach the 10¹² order of magnitude. FAETON-X is a megajoule-class pulsed-power fusion system developed by Fuse, designed as a single-pulse flash neutron source, serving pulsed-power fusion R&D and...
