In Japan, 5 years have passed since the initiation of precision cancer medicine, and recent data accumulation in familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) and hereditary pancreatic cancer is outstanding. Multigene germline panel tests (MGPTs) have revealed that 7%-18% of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) harbor pathogenic germline variants (PGVs), almost equal to the levels of breast, ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancers, with a higher incidence in FPC (14%-26%). The majority of PGVs seen in PC patients are clinically actionable and associated with homologous recombination (HR) pathways (6%-10%, particularly BRCA1/2 in 5%-6%), and the clinical guidelines recommend or propose genetic testing for all PC patients.

Context: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) cause bone loss and increase fracture risk in women with hormone receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer (HR+EBC). Bone antiresorptive agents are recommended for patients at risk of fragility fractures. Eldecalcitol, combined with bisphosphonate, increases bone mineral density (BMD) in primary osteoporosis.

Background: This study examined the effects of yoga-based educational interventions on the volume and composition of breast milk in premature infants' mothers admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 78 primiparous mothers whose premature infants were less than 34 weeks and were hospitalized in the NICU of Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital from February 2021 to November 2022. Mothers were assigned to a control group and an experimental group, that is, yoga, using the block randomization method.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a significant worldwide health issue, particularly in Jordan, where early detection via mammography is essential for effective disease management. Despite the little radiation risk associated with mammography, it is crucial to monitor radiation exposure to guarantee patient safety. This study intends to assess skin entrance exposure and compute the Mean Glandular Dose (MGD) in mammography units to determine adherence to established criteria and pinpoint areas for enhancement.
