The immunohistochemical (IHC) subtyping of breast cancer can be a useful substitute for gene expression analysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of CK8/18 to the biology of breast carcinoma (BC) represented by its IHC subtypes. The IHC expression of CK8/18 was correlated with IHC subtypes of BC using ER, PR, HER2/neu, and Ki67 LI (with cutoff 14%). All cases showed CK...

A 70-year-old man was admitted for severe hypoxia, haemoptysis and cough. Chest-X-ray and CT-scan indicated a right-lower-lobe collapse. Bronchoscopy showed its occlusion by whitish dense mucus. Aspiration revealed a Bronchial Cast (BC) and a stenotic and inflamed orifice of the right-lower-lobe-bronchus which was biopsied.Histopathologic examination of BC showed fibrin with lymphocytes and neu...

One million new breast cancer (BC) cases diagnosed yearly yielded over 400,000 annual deaths. About 4.4 million women are living with BC worldwide, while 15 million new cases yearly are estimated by 2020. About 12.15% of women born today would be diagnosed with BC at some time during their lifetime. Nigerian women’s BC lifetime risk of 10% accounted for about 16% of all cancer-related deaths. N...

Intergeneric hybridization was performed between Moricandia arvensis and four inbred lines of Brassica rapa following embryo rescue. Three F(1) hybrid plants were developed from three cross combinations of M. arvensis × B. rapa, and amphidiploids were synthesized by colchicine treatment. Six BC(1) plants were generated from a single cross combination of amphidipolid × B. rapa 'Ko1-303' through ...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is implicated in breast cancer (BC) progression and is associated with an aggressive phenotype. The presence of EGFR mutations in exons 18–21 in BC, as in non-small-cell lung cancer [1], might help predict patient response to EGFR inhibitors such as erlotinib and gefitinib. The EGFR mutation rate in patients with BC is still poorly defined. We analyse...

Abstract. The evolution of fine aerosol (PM1) species as well the contribution potential sources to total organic (OA) at an urban background site in Barcelona, western Mediterranean basin (WMB) was investigated. For this purpose, a quadrupole chemical speciation monitor (Q-ACSM) deployed acquire real-time measurements for two 1-year periods: May 2014–May 2015 (period A) and September 2017–Octo...

BACKGROUND Screening for breast cancer reduces breast cancer-related mortality. Advantages of screening are explained clearly, but its disadvantages are underrepresented in consent folders. METHODS In September 2002 a prospective, longitudinal study started concerning quality of life (QoL) in women with breast disease. Between September 2002 and January 2007, 385 women with an abnormal screen...

First ever 3-day aircraft observations of vertical profiles of Black Carbon (BC) were obtained during the Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) conducted on 30(th) August, 4(th) and 6(th) September 2009 over Guwahati (26° 11'N, 91° 44'E), the largest metropolitan city in the Brahmaputra River Valley (BRV) region. The results revealed that apart from the su...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate whether pathology results obtained by radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) were correlated with active surveillance (AS) criteria defined by Klotz, Soloway and D'Amico. MATERIALS AND METHODS In our clinic we evaluated 211 patients with diagnosis of localized prostate cancer who underwent RRP between 2007 and 2012. AS criteria defined by Soloway (cT ≤...
