central cementifying fibroma is a bony tumor, which is believed to be derived from the cells of the periodontal ligament. central cemento‑ossifying fibroma behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. this bone tumor consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. central cemento‑ossifying fibromas of the mandible are co...

Receptive field (RF) sizes and cortical magnification factor (CMF) are fundamental organization properties of the visual cortex. At increasing visual eccentricity, RF sizes increase and CMF decreases. A relationship between RF size and CMF suggests constancies in cortical architecture, as their product, the cortical representation of an RF (point image), may be constant. Previous animal neuroph...

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy beyond standard treatment for anthracycline- and taxane-pretreated metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods We consecutively enrolled 158 MBC patients who underwent CMF chemotherapy in a palliative setting at two academic hospitals in Korea between 2002 and 2016...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a lesion containing both fibrous and osseous components. Such lesions include fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, cemento-ossifying fibroma and cementifying fibroma. Periodontal membrane is the origin of fibro-osseous lesions other than fibrous dysplasia.Here a clinical case of a young woman referred for evaluation of a mass in the right side of face between eye a...

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a rare locally aggressive, but non-metastatic tumor. In this case report, we present a desmoplastic fibroma in an unusual location, the clavicle. Desmoplastic fibroma involving the clavicle is extremely rare, with only 2 reported cases before 1985. We report the imaging findings of a desmoplastic fibroma of the clavicle with a review of the relevant literature.

BACKGROUND Recent retrospective analyses have suggested that breast cancer patients whose tumors overexpress HER2 derive preferential benefit from treatment with anthracyclines such as doxorubicin. This has led some clinicians to propose that HER2 should be used as a predictive marker in choosing between anthracycline-based regimens and combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, methotrexa...

Cemeto-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the mandible and maxilla. The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the term “cementoossifying fibroma” by combining two entities, cementifying fibroma and ossifying fibroma in 1992. However in 2005 the entity was included under ossifying fibroma group. The tumor usually affects the young adults. Rarely, this tumor arises i...

Fibro-osseous lesions of the face and paranasal sinuses are relatively uncommon. These lesions have overlapping clinical, radiologic and pathologic features causing difficulty in diagnosis. Neoplastic fibro-osseous paranasal sinus lesions can be benign or malignant. The benign fibro-osseous lesions described are: ossifying fibroma (and its histologic variants) and fibrous dysplasia. The variant...

Rocky planets both in and outside of our solar system are observed to have a range core-mass fractions (CMFs). Imperfect collisions can preferentially strip mantle material from planet, changing its CMF, therefore thought be the most likely cause this CMF variation. However, previous work that implements these into N-body simulations planet formation has struggled reliably form high super-Earth...

OBJECTIVE To compare the growth and nutritional status of infants fed goat milk-based formula (GMF) and cow milk-based formula (CMF). METHODS The study was conducted in Beijing, China. It was a double-blind randomized controlled trial. A total of 79 infants aged 0-3 months old were recruited and randomized in GMF or CMF group. The infants were fed the allocated formula to 6 months. The weight...
