Article Synopsis
- Identifying biomarkers like retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) may enable early detection of muscle loss and aid in developing new therapies, particularly for postmenopausal women.
- The study followed postmenopausal women for 12 months to assess the relationship between initial RBP4 levels and changes in appendicular lean mass (ALM), where higher baseline RBP4 was correlated with greater muscle loss.
- Results indicated that women with higher RBP4 levels experienced a more significant reduction in muscle mass, suggesting that RBP4 could serve as a useful biomarker for monitoring muscle health in this demographic.
Objective: Our study evaluated the effectiveness of the Botucatu Abbreviated Protocol in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within Brazil's public healthcare system, focusing on its impact on patient access to MRI exams.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 197 breast MRI exams of female patients over 18 years with histological breast carcinoma diagnosis, conducted at Hospital das Clínicas de Botucatu - UNESP between 2014 and 2018. Two experienced examiners prospectively and blindly analyzed the exams using an Integrated Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).
This study aims to investigate the potential association between serum levels of cytokines, HSP60, HSP70 and IR (HOMA-IR) in postmenopausal women. We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 381 postmenopausal women, including 94 with a breast cancer diagnosis and 278 without. We analyzed anthropometric and laboratory measurements.
