BACKGROUND For patients with early breast cancer and lymph node metastasis, axillary treatment is widely recommended. This is either surgical removal of the axillary lymph nodes, or axillary radiotherapy. The rationale for axillary treatment is that it will reduce the risk of recurrence in the axilla, and may improve survival. However, both treatments are associated with adverse effects, such a...

      Aims: temporal artery thermometers (TAT) of new tools for measuring body temperature, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of thermometers and is still uncertain accuracy and reliability this thermometers.This study to evaluate the accuracy of the two methods of measuring body temperature by the thermometer axillary and temporal artery compared with nas...

Axillary hyperhidrosis results from excessive sweat production in the armpits. It adversely impacts a patient’s quality of life. In this update, we attempt to discuss basics, pathophysiology, and management axillary hyperhidrosis.

Parameterizing meshes is a basic requirement for many applications, including, e.g., reverse engineering , texture mapping, and re-meshing. We present a new fast algorithm that uses the hierarchical representation of a polygonal mesh with arbitrary topology for generating a geometry-driven parameterization.

HYPOTHESIS Management strategies affect the outcome of axillary recurrence in breast cancer. DESIGN Population-based analysis. SETTING Cancer agency breast cancer database. PATIENTS Two hundred twenty women diagnosed with stage 0 through III breast cancer between 1989 and 2003 who subsequently developed an isolated axillary relapse.

Variations of venous pattern in the arm are common. In this case report, we present a variation of axillary artery and vein. During routine educational dissections of axillary region, it was observed that a fenestrated axillary vein was perforated by a variant axillary artery in right arm of an old male cadaver. The axillary artery which was fenestrated through axillary vein had only two branch...
