Breast cancer (BCa) is related to chronic stress and can reduce the bone mineral density (BMD) through neurochemicals related to beta-adrenergic receptor (ADRB) 1 and 2. Selective beta blockers (sBBs) and nonselective beta blockers (nsBBs) are used to treat systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and may have osteoprotective effects, as they inhibit ADRBs. To evaluate the effects of sBBs and nsBBs on the BMD of Mexican patients with BCa.

- The ACR TI-RADS risk stratification system helps evaluate thyroid nodules by aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies while maintaining specificity, focusing on the relationship between ultrasound findings and malignancy risks.
- This study analyzed data from 212 thyroid ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations (FNABs) to correlate ultrasonographic findings with cytopathology results from The Bethesda System, specifically analyzing nodules with low and high risk of malignancy.
- Key findings indicated that certain ultrasound characteristics, like solid composition and irregular margins, were more prevalent in nodules with a higher risk of malignancy, suggesting that these features could guide clinical decisions regarding further evaluation or intervention.
Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently reported cancer among women - reported in 2012 as 25% of all cancers. BC has been related to the increased life and activity of osteoclasts, conferring a higher risk for osteoporosis/osteopenia. This study aimed to determine a cut-off point in Hounsfield units (HU) as well as the sensitivity and specificity of computed axial tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of osteoporosis/osteopenia in Mexican women with BC.
