Breast shapes are affected by gravitational loads and deformities. Measurements obtained in the standing position may not correlate well with measurements in the supine position, which is more representative of patient position during breast surgery. A dual color 3D surface imaging system capable of scanning patients in both supine and standing positions was developed to evaluate the effect of changes in body posture on breast morphology.

Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in cancer progression, however its prognostic significance and its downstream factors are largely elusive. In this study, we have shown that expression of OPN was significantly higher in bladder cancer specimens with higher T-stage or tumor grades. In addition, a high level of OPN was significantly associated with poorer survival in two independent bladder cancer patient cohorts totaling 389 bladder cancer patients with available survival data.
