Argon cluster impacts on layered silicon, silica, and graphite surfaces
Seven structures of covalently bonded materials are used as targets of 6 keV
Ar12 cluster bombardment in classical molecular dynamics
simulations. Energy deposition, cratering and Ar ranges are compared and remarkable
differences are found between the structures. In particular, bombardment of a
thin 2 nm silica layer on top of the Si(111) surface is shown to behave quite
differently from bombardment of pure Si
Diffuse Liver Metastasis of Small-Cell Lung Cancer Presenting as Acute Liver Failure and Diagnosed by Transjugular Liver Biopsy: A Rare Case in Whom Nodular Lesions Were Detected by Enhanced CT Examination
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a subgroup of lung cancer with a high frequency of liver metastasis, which is a predictor of poor prognosis. Diffuse liver metastases of SCLC with no visible nodular lesions in the liver when examined using computed tomography (CT) are relatively rare; however, a few cases with rapid progression to acute liver failure that were diagnosed after death have been reported. In this paper, we report a 63-year-old man with diffuse liver metastases of SCLC that were histologically diagnosed using a transjugular liver biopsy while the patient was alive, even though no lesions were visible during a contrast-enhanced CT examination
