Prophylactic mastectomy and occult malignancy: Surgical and imaging considerations

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 127, Issue 1, Page 18-27, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) is not routinely recommended for patients undergoing prophylactic mastectomy (PM), yet omission remains a subject of debate among surgeons. A modern patient cohort was examined to determine occult malignancy (OM) incidence within PM specimens to reinforce current recommendations.

Dexterous Control of an 11-DOF Redundant Robot for CT-Guided Needle Insertion With Task-Oriented Weighted Policies [PDF]

arXiv
Computed tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsies are critical for diagnosing a range of conditions, including lung cancer, but present challenges such as limited in-bore space, prolonged procedure times, and radiation exposure. Robotic assistance offers a promising solution by improving needle trajectory accuracy, reducing radiation exposure, and ...

Hydrogel microwells with customizable bottom design: A one‐step approach to spheroid formation

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Conical microwells featuring a variety of bottom‐shape features have received increased recognition because of their enhanced surface characteristics that improve the in vitro‐in vivo correlation in a wide range of biological applications, such as in three‐dimensional cell culture models, specifically cell spheroidal formation, and drug ...

Actin Filament Pointed Ends: Assays for Regulation of Assembly and Disassembly by Tropomodulin and Tropomyosin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin filaments are dynamic polymers whose length depends on regulated monomer association and dissociation at their ends. Actin barbed‐end dynamics are relatively better understood, primarily due to the approximately tenfold faster subunit on/off rates at barbed versus pointed ends.
