Aluminum alloy compositions and properties extracted from a corpus of scientific manuscripts and US patents.

Researchers continue to explore and develop aluminum alloys with new compositions and improved performance characteristics. An understanding of the current design space can help accelerate the discovery of new alloys. We present two datasets: 1) chemical composition, and 2) mechanical properties for predominantly wrought aluminum alloys.

A Rare Case Report: Isolated Mediastinal Lymph Node Recurrence in High-Risk Endometrial Cancer at 5 Years after Primary Laparoscopic Surgery.

Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy in some developed countries, with an estimated 102 423 new cases reported in 2015. Isolated mediastinal lymph node recurrence has not been reported previously in this setting. We report a 78-year-old woman with an isolated lymph node recurrence in the mediastinal aortic region detected 5 years after her initial surgical treatment and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

Assessing the risk of pelvic and para-aortic nodal involvement in apparent early-stage ovarian cancer: A predictors- and nomogram-based analyses.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of lymph node involvement in early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer in order to assess the prognostic value of lymph node dissection.

Methods: Data of consecutive patients undergoing staging for early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer were retrospectively evaluated. Logistic regression and a nomogram-based analysis were used to assess the risk of lymph node involvement.

Impact of Surgical Route in Influencing the Risk of Lymphatic Complications After Ovarian Cancer Staging.

Lymphatic complications are a common occurrence after staging surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer (eEOC). We investigated whether the introduction of minimally invasive surgery influences the risk of developing lymphoceles and lymphorrhea in patients undergoing staging for eEOC. For this purpose, data of consecutive patients affected by eEOC undergoing staging surgery between January 1980 and January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed, and a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed.

Sentinel-node mapping in endometrial cancer patients: comparing SPECT/CT, gamma-probe and dye.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare preoperative SPECT/CT with gamma-probe and methylene blue-dye (MBD) in the identification of sentinel lymph node (SLN) in early stage endometrial cancer.

Methods: 40 stage-I EC patients (66.7 ± 9.

Course and moderators of emotional eating in anorectic and bulimic patients: a follow-up study.

Emotion dysregulation has been found to be associated with specific eating attitudes and behavior in Eating Disorder (ED) patients. The present study evaluated whether emotional eating profile of ED patients changes over time and the possible effects of a psychotherapeutic intervention on the emotional eating dimension. One hundred and two ED patients (28 with Anorexia Nervosa restricting type [AN-R], 35 with Anorexia Nervosa binge/purging subtype [AN-B/P] and 39 with Bulimia Nervosa [BN]) were evaluated at baseline, at the end of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, at 3 and 6 year follow-up.

Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction Using the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 Questionnaire and Surgical Outcome in Single-Port Surgery for Benign Adnexal Disease: Observational Comparison with Traditional Laparoscopy.

Laparoscopic surgery has been demonstrated as a valid approach in almost all gynaecologic procedures including malignant diseases. Benefits of the minimally invasive approach over traditional open surgery have been well demonstrated in terms of minimal perioperative morbidity and reduced postoperative pain and hospital stay duration, with consequent quick postoperative recovery (Medeiros et al. (2009)).

Comparison between normal-weight and overweight bulimic patients.

Purpose: Body mass index has been often reported in the normal range in bulimic patients and the literature considering the association between bulimia nervosa (BN) and overweight is scant. The aim of the present study was to compare two groups of normal and overweight BN patients, carefully assessed for several clinical and psychopathological features.

Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, a consecutive series of 124 female BN patients was divided into two groups according to their BMI: normal-weight group (with BMI ≤25; N = 91) and overweight group (with BMI >25; N = 33).

Tailoring systematic lymphadenectomy in high-risk clinical early stage endometrial cancer: the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Objectives: To evaluate the role of FDG PET/CT in the preoperative N-staging of high-risk clinical stage I endometrial cancer. The correlation between the metabolic characteristics of endometrial tumor uptake as predictors of a) lymph-node (LN) metastases and b) recurrence, was also evaluated.

Methods: Seventy-six high-risk (G2 with deep myometrial invasion, G3, serous/clear-cell carcinoma) clinical stage I endometrial cancer patients underwent preoperative PET/CT scan followed by total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy.

Preoperative staging of cervical cancer: is 18-FDG-PET/CT really effective in patients with early stage disease?

Objective: Nodal status is one of the most important findings in patients with early-stage cervical cancer that requires post-surgical adjuvant therapies and influences prognosis of patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in the detection of nodal metastases.

Methods: From 2004 to 2010 women with Ib1-IIa <4cm cervical cancer underwent 18F-FDG-PET/CT followed by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy in our institution.
