Psychological Coping Factors Associated With Breast Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Systematic Review of Recent Evidence for Stages 0 to III.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common, distressing, and difficult to treat symptom for both breast cancer patients and survivors. This review investigates psychological coping factors associated with breast CRF (BCRF) for women who are stage 0 to III breast cancer patients or survivors. A focus was made on active factors that can be practically targeted in a fatigue focused intervention aimed at providing immediate results.

Near-Surface Seismic Measurements in Gravel Pit, over Highway Tunnel and Underground Tubes with Ground Truth Information as an Open Data Set.

In this article, we describe in detail three seismic measurement campaigns based on refraction methods that we conducted at different sites in Bavaria, Germany. The measured data is published as an open data set. The particularity of this data set lies in its available ground truth information about each measurement site.

Adipocytes induce distinct gene expression profiles in mammary tumor cells and enhance inflammatory signaling in invasive breast cancer cells.

Obesity is a known risk factor for breast cancer. Since obesity rates are constantly rising worldwide, understanding the molecular details of the interaction between adipose tissue and breast tumors becomes an urgent task. To investigate potential molecular changes in breast cancer cells induced by co-existing adipocytes, we used a co-culture system of different breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and T47D: ER/PR/HER2 and MDA-MB-231: ER/PR/HER2) and murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
