Background: Complete pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) in breast cancer is associated with prolonged survival. Compared to other breast cancer immunophenotypes, luminal tumors are the least chemosensitive with low rates of pathological response within this molecular subtype. Thus, finding predictors of response in this subset remains challenging.

In experiment 1, 1244 Bos taurus suckled cows were used. On Day 0 all cows received an intravaginal P4 device (600 mg P4) and 2 mg of estradiol benzoate.

Material And Methods: Visual acuity was prospectively assessed using a case series of 305 patients treated with I between 1996 and 2022. To examine how VA behaves over time, we divided patient sample into 4 groups: (1) Patients with visual acuity of less than V ≤ 0.
Purpose: Brachytherapy (BT) has been used for many years for disease control in tumours of the head and neck area (H&N). It is currently performed with high dose rate (HDR) or pulsed dose rate (PDR), but its use has been reduced due to the implementation of new non-invasive external beam radiotherapy techniques such as intensity modulation (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and the improvement of surgical techniques.
Methods: The Spanish Brachytherapy Group (GEB) has carried out a survey to find out the number of centres in Spain that continue to use BT in H&N and its indications and expectations for the future.
Article Synopsis
- Energy deficits commonly affect female athletes due to high sports demands and strict diets, leading to potential health issues and decreased performance.
- A study with 21 professional female handball players evaluated the impact of three different dietary plans over 12 weeks on their energy availability and physical factors associated with energy deficit syndrome.
- Results showed all players had low energy availability but maintained normal menstrual function, while body composition improved significantly; however, further research is needed to discern the effects of different diets on other health parameters.
