Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Can Help in Detecting Clinically Silent Mammary Paget's Disease.

Early detection and comprehensive diagnostic approaches for breast cancer are essential for improving prognosis. When it comes to changes in the skin of the breast or the nipple-areola complex (NAC), particularly if they are unilateral, it is essential to be vigilant, as these changes could be an early sign of underlying malignancy or other pathologies. Primary breast malignancies, such as mammary Paget's disease (MPD), can manifest as erythema, scaling, or ulceration of the NAC, while secondary cutaneous metastases from other breast carcinomas may present as nodules, erythematous plaques, or inflammatory reactions.

Identification, genotyping, and genomic comparison of Streptococcus porcinus isolated from diseased swine in Brazil.

Introduction: Streptococcus porcinus is considered a zoonotic opportunistic pathogen for several animal species, including swine, and can cause systemic clinical conditions. There are morphological similarities between streptococcal species, leading to possible incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment choice. Here, we describe the identification, and genotypic and genomic characterization of S.

Reproducibility of Thermography for Measuring Skin Temperature of Upper Limbs in Breast Cancer Survivors.

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic condition that has early diagnosis as a critical component for proper treatment. Thermography, a non-invasive imaging method, is considered a promising complementary tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of BCRL, especially in subclinical stages. The present study aimed to evaluate the intra- and inter-examiner reproducibility of thermography for measuring the skin temperature of the upper limbs (UL) of women with and without BCRL.

Impact of pre-fermentative maceration techniques on the chemical characteristics, phenolic composition, in vitro bioaccessibility, and biological activities of alcoholic and acetic fermented products from jaboticaba (Plinia trunciflora).

The jaboticaba is a fruit with a highly promising chemical profile for producing fermented products with biological activity. In this context, evaluating pre-fermentative maceration techniques in jaboticaba fermentations is essential to optimize the extraction of phenolic compounds and other metabolites of interest, imparting antioxidant characteristics to the product and offering potential health benefits. This study evaluated the impact of two pre-fermentative maceration techniques on the phenolic composition, bioaccessibility, and biological activities (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and ACE inhibition) of alcoholic and acetic fermented products from jaboticaba.
