Purpose: In most of the developing counties postmenopausal breast cancer cases are offered a radical form of surgery relying on their unawareness about body image. We evaluate the effect of breast cancer surgical choice; Conservative Breast Therapy (BCT) or Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM); on body image in Egyptian postmenopausal cases. Patients and Methods: A prospective randomized trial of ...

Sakurai K, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-221447 Description A 68-year-old man presented with cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence and short step gait. These symptoms, together with brain MRI finding, suggested idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. After a spinal tap test to confirm the diagnosis, he suffered from postdural puncture headache. Despite an equivocal findi...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication caused by diabetes mellitus (DM) and is a leading cause of vision impairment and loss among adults. Here, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis to discover biomarkers for DR. First, to identify biomarker candidates that are specifically expressed in human vitreous, we performed data-mining on both previously published DR...

Fatty acids (FAs) are associated with a series of diseases including tumors, diabetes, and heart diseases. As potential biomarkers, FAs have attracted increasing attention from both biological researchers and the pharmaceutical industry. However, poor ionization efficiency, extreme diversity, strict dependence on internal standards and complicated multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) optimization...

Background: Menstrual Migraine (MM) is a subgroup of migraine headache that affect the quality of life of patients in menstrual age. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia, especially in women of reproductive age. Objectives: To determine the association of iron deficiency anemia with menstrual migraine. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was c...

In Japan, the guidelines of safety technology for automated vehicles clearly state requirement level-3 equipment with minimal risk maneuver (MRM) in vehicles. case drivers fail to respond a request intervention, conditional driving automation system activates an MRM control vehicle halt lane or on side road. The current study aims explore research question: how does information functionality eq...

An accurate, rapid, and versatile method for the analysis of enzyme kinetics using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been developed and demonstrated using fucosyltransferase V. Reactions performed in primary or secondary amine-containing buffers were diluted in an ESI solvent and directly analyzed without purification of the reaction products. Decreased mass resolution was ...

During the last years the conception of the multiresolution model (MRM) of surface was developed for representation of the geometric objects with continuous level of detail (LOD). The basic idea of this model is the storing of the triangulations with different LODs in the directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure. The model is created at the preprocessing step and provides extracting of the consis...

In vivo magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) of the small animal lung has become a valuable research tool, especially for preclinical studies. MRM offers a noninvasive and nondestructive tool for imaging small animals longitudinally and at high spatial resolution. We summarize some of the technical and biologic problems and solutions associated with imaging the small animal lung and describe sev...

psycho-social changes in a group of patients with early breast cancer who underwent conservative surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Methods. Self-administered questionnaire assessing body image perception, social habits, sexual attraction and self-consciousness with relatives/friends, was randomly assigned to 125 patients (61 BCS, 64 MRM; aged 53 ± 8 and 50 ± 9 years, respectiv...
