Women sports wearer's comfort and health are greatly impacted by the breast movements and resultant sports bra compression to prevent excessive movement. However, as sports bras are only made in universal sizes, they do not offer the right kind of support that is required for a certain activity. To prevent this issue, textile-based strain sensors may be utilized to track compression throughout various activities to create activity-specific designed sports bras.

Background: Brassiere (bra) size is commonly used when patients and plastic surgeons discuss breast procedures. Variations in sizing between manufacturers can affect patient-surgeon communication and postoperative satisfaction. This study quantifies bra cup volume across alphanumeric sizes and manufacturers to describe variance and improve preoperative communication for shared decision-making.

Soft tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors characterized by heterogeneity and are associated with a high mortality rate. Histopathological grading is considered a pivotal factor in prognostication and treatment planning. While core needle biopsy exhibits high accuracy in determining tumor histology, it fails in some cases, potentially misclassifying high-grade tumors as low-grade.

Female development includes significant size changes across the breast. Yet, whether differences in breast surface area (BrSA) modify breast sensitivity to warm, cold and wetness, and the associated epidermal properties (skin thickness and surface roughness) remain unclear. We investigated the relationship between BrSA and thermal and wetness perception, as well as epidermal properties, in 21 females (28 10 years) of varying breast sizes (BrSA range: 147-502 cm), at multiple breast sites (i.

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are common in the elderly, accounting for significant morbidity and mortality. Non-surgical treatment is a common option for low-demand elderly patients, but it can lead to unsatisfactory functional outcomes in some cases. The identification of predictive factors for poor prognosis in non-surgical management remains unclear.
