Nomogram for predicting overall survival in Chinese triple-negative breast cancer patients after surgery.

Background: There are few nomograms for the prognosis of Chinese patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Aim: To construct and validate a nomogram for overall survival (OS) of Chinese TNBC patients after surgery.

Methods: This study used the data of SEER*stat 8.

Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with a single metastatic lesion in the lumbar spine: A case report.

Background: The bone is the second most common site of thyroid cancer metastasis, after the lung. Treatment options for bone metastasis of thyroid cancer include surgery, radioiodine therapy (RAIT), external radiation therapy, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) inhibition, bisphosphonates, and small-molecule targeted therapies. In most cases, thyroid carcinoma is found in the thyroid tissue; reports of follicular thyroid carcinoma with a single metastasis to the lumbar spine are rare.

Individualized treatment of breast cancer with chronic renal failure: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Studies have shown that patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) are more likely to suffer from breast cancer and other malignant tumors. To our knowledge, CRF can reduce drug excretion, thereby increase drug exposure and lead to increased toxicity, which will limit drug treatment and lead to tumor progression. Currently, there are few successful reports on the combination of docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab (THP) as a neoadjuvant treatment regimen for breast cancer patients with CRF.

Cervical spinal functional magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord injured patient during electrical stimulation.

Purpose: To evaluate the spatial distribution and signal intensity changes following spinal cord activation in patients with spinal cord injury.

Methods: This study used spinal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based on signal enhancement by extra-vascular water protons (SEEP) to assess elicited responses during subcutaneous electrical stimulation at the right elbow and right thumb in the cervical spinal cord.

Results: Seven healthy volunteers and seven patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) were included in this study.

SSFSE sequence functional MRI of the human cervical spinal cord with complex finger tapping.

Purpose: Functional MR imaging of the human cervical spinal cord was carried out on volunteers during alternated rest and a complex finger tapping task, in order to detect image intensity changes arising from neuronal activity.

Methods: Functional MR imaging data using single-shot fast spin-echo sequence (SSFSE) with echo time 42.4 ms on a 1.

Functional MR imaging of the cervical spinal cord by use of 20Hz functional electrical stimulation to median nerve.

Purpose: Functional MR imaging of the human cervical spinal cord was carried out on volunteers by 20Hz functional electrical stimulation to median nerve, in order to detect signal changes arising concomitant to neuronal activity.

Methods: Functional MR imaging data were acquired in six subjects with single-shot fast spin-echo sequence (SSFSE) on a 1.5T GE Clinical System.
