Tumor Biology and Racial Disparities in Reconstruction After Mastectomy: A SEER Database Analysis
Introduction: Significant disparities in immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy have persisted, and may even be increasing, despite large-scale efforts to minimize them, such as the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. Immediate breast

The iBRA (implant breast reconstruction evaluation) study: protocol for a prospective multi-centre cohort study to inform the feasibility, design and conduct of a pragmatic randomised clinical trial comparing new techniques of implant-based breast reconstruction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the most commonly performed reconstructive procedure in the UK. The introduction of techniques to augment the subpectoral pocket has revolutionised the procedure, but there is a lack of high ...

AAVR Expression is Essential for AAV Vector Transduction in Sensory Hair Cells
Decreased sensitivity to AAV vector transduction in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of adult mice is primarily attributed to reduction of AAVR (Kiaa0319l; Au040320). Knockout of AAVR reduces AAV vector transduction efficiency in both inner hair cells (IHCs) and OHCs in neonatal mice.

Estimating The Volume of Breast Tumor On The Digital Breast Tomosynthesis [PDF]
In this paper, we would like to quantitatively measure the tumor volume contained in the breast imaged by the Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), a reconstructed 3D image. The estimated volume will add to the prognostic value of risk classification of breast cancer.

Development and implementation of an evaluation framework for breast reconstruction decision support tool for women considering breast reconstruction following mastectomy [PDF]
Breast cancer survival has improved significantly, with almost ninety percent of diagnosed women being cured (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) & Cancer Australia, 2012). Despite no survival advantage between breast conserving surgery and

Deep Learning Framework for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Reconstruction [PDF]
Digital breast tomosynthesis is rapidly replacing digital mammography as the basic x-ray technique for evaluation of the breasts. However, the sparse sampling and limited angular range gives rise to different artifacts, which manufacturers try to solve in several ways.

Satisfaction and quality of life in women who undergo breast surgery: a qualitative study to develop conceptual model [PDF]
Background: In cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, measurement of patient-reported outcomes has become increasingly important to research efforts and clinical care.

Spatially resolved multiomics reveals that high‐copper zones are closely associated with tumor metastasis, immune‐desert phenotypes, and oxidative‐phosphorylation (OXPHOS)‐dependent proliferation. A targeted bacterial nanovesicle delivering copper‐depleting agents effectively reduces tumor copper levels, inhibits OXPHOS‐dependent tumor growth, and ...

This study interpreted the differential profiles of cervicovaginal microbiota and CSTs between HC women and HPV16‐infected women with CIN I, CIN II/III or SCC. The relationship between HPV16 clearance and cervicovaginal microbiota composition in each disease stage before and after clinical treatments was also established.
