Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess fetal ears on prenatal 3D ultrasound and compare ear surface patterns and measurements between fetuses with syndromes and healthy fetuses.

Materials And Methods: Our study is based on 3D ultrasound images of 100 fetuses between the 20th and 37th week of gestation. We compared 50 ears of fetuses with syndromes (syndrome group) to 50 gestational age-matched ears of healthy fetuses (control group).

[Therapeutic de-escalation in breast cancer surgery].

The surgical management of breast cancer has been marked by a therapeutic de-escalation from radical surgery to breast conservation and from axillary curage to sentinel lymph node sampling. With regard to breast surgery, the de-escalation of treatment has been largely due to organized screening, which has made it possible to diagnose tumors of smaller volume or at an earlier stage. The indications for conservative surgery have been broadened by the addition of radiotherapy on one hand, and the introduction of adjuvant and neo-adjuvant treatments on the other hand.

An Analysis of Healthy Food Access Amongst Women in Peri-urban Honiara.

Highly processed and energy-dense foods are contributing to the high and rising rates of non-communicable diseases and nutrient deficiencies in Solomon Islands. Non-communicable diseases currently cause 69% of deaths in Solomon Islands, and the rate is rising, fuelled in part by limited health system capacity to treat these conditions. Solomon Islands also has the highest reported undernourishment rate in the Pacific.
