Ultrasonographic accuracy in evaluating response of clipped lymph nodes in targeted axillary dissection in breast cancer.

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in assessing the response of clipped axillary lymph nodes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Between February 2022 and September 2023, 43 patients who underwent axillary lymph node marking for targeted axillary dissection were retrospectively analyzed. Ultrasonography parameters such as the number, size, shape, cortical thickness, hilum status, and treatment response of the clipped lymph node were assessed.

A Taguchi Approach for Optimization of Antimicrobial Effect of Whey Protein Based Edible Film Fermented by .

, an antagonistic bacterium, was utilized to develop antimicrobial edible films based on whey protein concentrate. This study employed a Taguchi test (3 × 3) to evaluate the impact of temperature, pH, and protein concentration on film properties. Optimal growth of occurred at 6% (/) protein and pH 9.

Prognostic Significance of Tumor and Inflammatory Markers in Disease-Free and Overall Survival Duration in Colonic Adenocarcinoma Patients.

Introduction Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) continues to be a major global health concern, contributing substantially to cancer incidence and mortality. Colonic adenocarcinoma, a common subtype of CRC, is influenced by various prognostic factors, including tumor stage, histopathological characteristics, and tumor markers. Despite their routine use in clinical settings, the prognostic value of traditional tumor markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), and others, is still under debate.

Progesterone receptor B over progesterone receptor A prevents recurrence in bilateral endometriomas.

Objective: Endometriosis is a disease in which stromal cells and endometrial glands extend outside of the uterine cavity. Nevertheless, treatment failure and recurrence cause difficulties in management. This study aimed to evaluate the receptor-level components of bilateral endometriomas in the recurrence state.
