Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how having an MRI before surgery affects the chances of needing a mastectomy or having to have more surgery for women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a type of breast cancer.
- They compared two groups of patients: one that had MRIs before surgery and one that didn't, looking closely at various factors that could affect the results.
- The results showed that women who had the MRI were more likely to have a mastectomy but were less likely to need additional surgeries afterwards.
We measured the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a monoenergetic beam scatter off of the silicon nuclei at angles corresponding to energy depositions from 4 keV down to 100 eV, the lowest energy probed so far. The results show no sign of an ionization production threshold above 100 eV.

There is no consensus on negotiating the need for pain relief and the potential for medically prescribed opioid-related harm/addiction. These issues present an enormous educational challenge to physicians in training, particularly those whose mandate is to understand and respond to varying forms of pain.
