Background: Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality among women globally. The use of mobile health tools such as apps and games is increasing rapidly, even in low- and middle-income countries, to promote early diagnosis and to manage care and support of survivors and patients.
Objective: The primary objective of this review was to categorize selected mobile health apps related to breast health and prevention of breast cancer, based on features such as breast self-examination (BSE) training and reminders, and to analyze their current dissemination.
Article Synopsis
- Learning disabilities affect about 8% of children globally, leading to significant loss of opportunities and high costs for governments, highlighting the need for effective screening methods.
- A new computerized assessment tool, the Adaptable Test Battery (BMT-), has been developed and validated for evaluating children's academic skills and cognitive functions, including areas like written language and math.
- The study involved 1,074 Francophone children, showing strong psychometric properties of the BMT-, making it a reliable option for initial screening of learning disabilities in schools.
Introduction: Serum phenotyping of elite cyclists regarding cortisol, IGF1 and testosterone is a way to detect endocrine disruptions possibly explained by exercise overload, non-balanced diet or by doping. This latter disruption-driven approach is supported by fundamental physiology although without any evidence of any metabolic markers.
Objectives: Serum samples were distributed through Low, High or Normal endocrine classes according to hormone concentration.
In epidemiological or demographic studies, with variable age at onset, a typical quantity of interest is the incidence of a disease (for example the cancer incidence). In these studies, the individuals are usually highly heterogeneous in terms of dates of birth (the cohort) and with respect to the calendar time (the period) and appropriate estimation methods are needed. In this article a new estimation method is presented which extends classical age-period-cohort analysis by allowing interactions between age, period and cohort effects.

Material And Methods: A random distribution of follow-up time from breast cancer diagnosis till blood sampling was obtained by a nested, matched case-control design in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Post-genome Cohort. From 2002-5, women were invited to donate blood samples, regardless of any cancer diagnosis.
