Objective: To determine the frequencies of various benign breast diseases (BBD) in female patients in three private hospitals of Hyderabad. Methodology: This is a prospective cohort study of all female patients visiting the surgical clinic with breast problems. This study was conducted at Isra University Hospital Hyderabad and two other private hospitals of Hyderabad over a period of about thre...

AIMS KiSS1 is a metastasis suppressor gene associated with inhibition of cellular chemotaxis and invasion attenuating the metastasis in melanoma and breast cancer cell lines. Along the KiSS-1 gene at least 294 SNPs have been described; however the association of these polymorphisms as genetic markers for metastasis in breast cancer studies has not been investigated. Here we describe two simple ...

The University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database (UM-BBD, http://umbbd.ahc.umn.edu/) provides curated information on microbial catabolism and related biotransformations, primarily for environmental pollutants. Currently, it contains information on over 130 metabolic pathways, 800 reactions, 750 compounds and 500 enzymes. In the past two years, it has increased its breath to incl...

BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) is a common strategy in the treatment of bronchostenosis. However, the longer dilating time in each inflation cycle (approximately 3-5 min) without mechanical ventilation is not possible for the treatment of tracheal stenosis. CASE PRESENTATION In this study, we reported our experience of BBD with shorter dilating time (10 s or 1 min) and inte...

The objective of the work was to study the clinical profile of Benign Breast Diseases (BBD) and their correlation with ultrasonographic and histopathological findings at a tertiary care centre in Central India. The present study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Radiodiagnosis and Pathology at G R Medical College and J A Group of hospitals, Gwalior (MP) from November 2012 to October 2...

The American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) has been impacted by the bark disease (BBD) complex throughout northeastern United States for over 100 years, but present in Great Lakes region only around 20 requiring acknowledgement of evolving context surrounding F. grandifolia. This threatens to remove a foundational tree species which is especially important ecologically wildlife habitat and ma...

Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease. Benign breast disease (BBD) is one of the most important risk factors for breast cancer. The etiology of BBD is unknown. It is divided into nonproliferative and proliferative diseases. The selection of studies will be based on titles, abstract screening, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality assessment. Previous studies have shown that all type...

The accurate analog simulation of critical circuit parts is a key task in the R&D process of integrated circuits. With the increasing complexity of integrated circuits it is becoming cumulatively challenging to simulate in the analog domain and within reasonable simulation time. Previous speedup approaches of the SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) analog circuit simulat...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the magnitude of breast diseases, and its frequency distribution in different age groups in Hadramout, Yemen. METHODS This is a prospective study conducted at the Central Laboratory of Ibn-Sinna Hospital, Hadramout, Yemen from January 2006 to December 2009. Patients attending surgical units for breast problems were eligible. Patients were assessed clinically and refer...
