Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy in a Patient with Rapid Progressive Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Introduction: Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare complication of metastatic carcinoma, which occurs in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, and is mostly fatal. Circulating tumor cell clusters have been recognized as critical factors during breast cancer progression.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old woman with triple-negative breast cancer was admitted to our hospital with progressive dyspnea and lower back pain.

Evaluation of a collagen-bioaggregate composite scaffold in the repair of sheep pulp tissue.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of the collagen-BioAggregate mixture (CBA-M) and collagen-BioAggregate composite (CBA-C) sponge as a scaffolding material on the reparative dentin formation.

Materials And Methods: CBA-C sponge (10:1 w/w) was obtained and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Mercury Porosimetry. Cytotoxicity of the CBA-C sponge was tested by using the L929 mouse fibroblast cell line.

Effects of partial and complete replacement of added phosphates with encapsulated phosphates on lipid oxidation inhibition in cooked ground meat during storage.

The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of various levels (0.0, 0.1, 0.

Impact of Added Encapsulated Phosphate Level on Lipid Oxidation Inhibition during the Storage of Cooked Ground Meat.

The effect of levels (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.

Correlation of (99m) Tc-DPD SPECT/CT Scan Findings and Diagnostic Blockades of Lumbar Medial Branches in Patients with Unspecific Low Back Pain in a Randomized-Controlled Trial.

Objective: Zygapophyseal joints are the origin of pain in up to 30% of those with unspecific chronic low back pain. Until recently, no reliable clinical tests have been found to identify the patients who would benefit from denervation of the zygapophyseal joints by medial branch blockades.

Design: We performed a prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the value of high-resolution single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) of the lumbar spine prior to any diagnostic infiltration of the medial branches.
