Accurate phenotyping of luminal A breast cancer in magnetic resonance imaging: A new 3D CNN approach.

Breast cancer (BC) remains a predominant and deadly cancer in women worldwide. By 2040, projections indicate that more than 3 million new cases of breast cancer will emerge annually, culminating in more than 1 million deaths worldwide. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of BC are critical factors that influence treatment success and patient outcomes.

Quantifying lactulose and mannitol using LC-MS/MS in a clinical study of children with environmental enteric disease.

Dysfunction of the intestinal epithelium barrier (DIEB) is frequent and can lead to serious complications in early childhood when diagnosis and clinical intervention are limited, especially in children with environmental enteric disease and malnutrition. The use of refined analytical techniques is increasingly necessary in this context. This study aimed to validate the high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to measure DIEB by lactulose:mannitol ratio detection (LM test) in samples of children with different social profiles from Fortaleza, Ceará.

Transition from Light-Induced Phase Reconstruction to Halide Segregation in CsPbBrI Nanocrystal Thin Films.

Inorganic metal-halide perovskite materials pave the way for many applications ranging from optoelectronics to quantum information due to their low cost, high photoluminescence and energy conversion efficiencies. However, light-induced bandgap instability due to ion migration in mixed-halide perovskites remains a significant challenge to the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. Thus, we combined hyperspectral fluorescence microspectroscopy and computational methods to understand the underlying transition mechanism between phase reconstruction and segregation in CsPbBrI (0 < < 3) nanocrystal thin films.

Cosmetic Therapeutic Keratopigmentation.

Purpose: To analyze indications safety and potential complications of cosmetic therapeutic corneal keratopigmentation to treat disfiguring aspect of opaque corneas.

Methods: Eight eyes of 8 consecutive patients were enrolled in therapeutic corneal keratopigmentation. Surgery was performed using manual technique, and a two-plane corneal dissection was performed.

Intestinal absorption area is correlated with cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Background And Aim: This study aimed to evaluate if the intestinal permeability is associated with overweight/obesity with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS) and correlate intestinal permeability parameters with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods And Results: This was a cross-sectional study that individuals were divided in three groups: 1) controls (n = 34), 2) overweight/obesity (n = 29), and 3) overweight/obesity + MetS (n = 29). Anthropometric and blood biochemical parameters were used to estimate cardiovascular risk factors.
