With the introduction of treatments that conserve the axilla such as axillary sampling and particularly sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), there is a view that breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) is now much less of a problem. It has even been suggested that dedicated lymphoedema clinics are a waste of time (Rampaul et al, 2003). Several reports conclude that SLNB poses less of a risk of BCRL than lymph node dissection or clearance (Blanchard et al, 2003; Mansel et al, 2006). The disparity in the reported incidence of BCRL following SLNB in these studies has several possible explanations, including differing times since axillary surgery when the patient is assessed, inaccurate reporting in questionnaires, use of different anatomical sites at which to measure circumference (with often only two sites being measured), and use of different circumference or volume thresholds.

The minimum number of incomplete blocks required to cover, exactly λ times, all t-element subsets from a set V of cardinality v (v > t) is denoted by g(λ, t; v). The value of g(2, 2; v) is known for v = 3, 4, . . . , 11. It was previously known that 14 ≤ g(2, 2; 12) ≤ 16. We prove that g(2, 2; 12) ≥ 15.
متن کاملOn the Modularity of the Unified Wrt Invariants of Certain Seifert Manifolds
Starting with the work of Lawrence and Zagier [16], many mock theta functions have been shown to coincide asymptotically with Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants of Seifert manifolds (see [14]). Recently a family of unified WRT invariants, while technically not mock theta functions, were shown to have Hecke-type expansions closely resembling those of mock theta functions [15]. For exampl...

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) was originally described in trauma patients but is now known to occur in critically ill patients with a myriad of acute illnesses. Recent epidemiological studies have characterized the prevalence of intraabdominal hypertension (defi ned as an intraabdominal pressure [IAP] measured at the urinary bladder ≥12 mmHg) between 2% and 33% [1,2] and the prevalence o...
