Glycemic index and glycemic load of common fruit juices in Thailand.

Background: The glycemic index (GI) reflects body responses to different carbohydrate-rich foods. Generally, it cannot be simply predicted from the composition of the food but needs in vivo testing.

Methods: Healthy adult volunteers with normal body mass index were recruited.

Sonographic focally thick duct of breast found in screening, why is it concerning? A report of three cases.

We report three cases of focally thickened ductal lesions found on screening ultrasonography with fine needle aspiration (FNA)-proven benign cytology in order to demonstrate the different fates of this radiographic finding. All three patients, aged 74, 69 and 68 years old, had their first time mammography and concurrent ultrasonography. Their mammograms did not show abnormalities except a focal asymmetry in one case.

Ductal carcinoma in-situ, cystic hypersecretory type presented by recurrent hemorrhagic cyst.

Recurrent hemorrhagic cyst is an uncommon presentation of breast disease. The ordinary imaging could not demonstrate the malignant features of the cyst. However, the non-contrast dedicated breast computerized tomography could support the malignancy concern.

Preoperative radiation in large angiomatosis of the breast, attempting breast conserving surgery: multidisciplinary approach.

Angiomatosis of the breast is very rare. The presentations are including breast mass, skin discoloration and breast enlargement that mimic to angiosarcoma. The imaging could suggest non-specific vascular tumors.

Promoter hypermethylation of SOX11 correlates with adverse clinicopathological features of human prostate cancer.

Currently available tools for early diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer lack sufficient accuracy. There is a need to identify novel biomarkers for this common malignancy. SOX family genes play an important role in embryogenesis and are also implicated in various cancers.
