Background: Children living in facilities under the supervision of child protection authorities are vulnerable to early smoking experimentation. This is the first study to report the prevalence and correlates of smoking behaviour among foster care home residents in Romania.
Methods: We conducted an in-person, cross-sectional survey of 914 resident children in 148 foster care homes of four Transylvanian counties.
Background: Intraoperative frozen section (FS) and imprint cytology (IC) are currently used to detect sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis, allowing for complete dissection when necessary.
Materials And Methods: A 2-year retrospective chart review was performed for patients who underwent SLN procedure in five French hospitals. The FS and IC results were compared to the definitive histology in order to calculate the sensitivity, specificity and false-negative rate.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection among women seeking abortions in France from January to September 2010, finding a 6.7% infection rate.
- Risk factors identified included being under 30, single relationship status, having few or no children, not using contraception, and being more than 11 weeks pregnant, with certain factors being independently linked to higher infection rates.
- The findings suggest the need for screening for CT before induced abortions, as this could improve patient outcomes, and further research is recommended to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such a screening policy.
Aims: Our objective was to evaluate intraoperative sentinel node touch imprint cytology (IOSNTI) for breast cancer. Three hundred and fifty-five patients with invasive breast cancer (pT1N0, lobular or ductal subtype) were included in our study. IOSNTI consists of touching glass slides to the surfaces of interest after gently pressing the spatially localized specimen, taken according to predetermined conditions, in order to perform a final histological examination consisting of H&E and immunohistochemical staining.
