Background: Risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) significantly lowers breast cancer risk as a preventive surgery. While racial disparities in breast cancer treatment are well-documented, research on racial differences in the utilization and outcomes of RRM is limited.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2008-2022) to identify women who underwent RRM.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
- A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
- This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.
Background: Brassiere (bra) size is commonly used when patients and plastic surgeons discuss breast procedures. Variations in sizing between manufacturers can affect patient-surgeon communication and postoperative satisfaction. This study quantifies bra cup volume across alphanumeric sizes and manufacturers to describe variance and improve preoperative communication for shared decision-making.

It is a debilitating condition that can severely impact the patient's quality of life. Botulinum toxin (BTX) has been examined as a treatment option for RP, but its effect has been inconclusive.
