A pathological complete response (pCR) to therapy correlates with better overall disease prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) have been widely used to monitor the response to NACT in breast cancer.

- The study investigates the necessity of frozen section during sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for early breast cancer, highlighting that while it prevents a second surgery, it has its drawbacks.* -
- In a retrospective analysis of 147 patients at Salmaniya Medical Complex, the frozen section showed an 84.6% sensitivity with a 15.4% false-negative rate, and only a small percentage required immediate axillary dissection.* -
- The findings suggest that routine frozen section is often unnecessary, indicating that permanent section alone can maintain quality care in most early breast cancer cases.*
Bottlenose dolphins () inhabit environments with variable natural salinities and experience physiological imbalances from extreme salinity fluctuations. Low salinity exposure (≤10) disrupts osmoregulation and increases the production of steroid hormones aldosterone (electrolyte balance) and cortisol (stress response). The effect(s) of high salinity exposure (>35) on steroid hormone production in bottlenose dolphins has not previously been assessed.
