BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the health system problems and important diseases that is rising in developing and advanced countries. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the difference of Magnetic Resonance Mammography (MRM) findings versus mammography in detecting multifocal, multi-centric and malignant bilateral lesions in patients with known breast cancer in Tehran. METHODS This ...

Objectives: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) for early breast cancer is now an accepted treatment, but there are controversies about its comparability with mastectomy. Thus, we investigated the survival outcomes who underwent BCS and modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Methods: In this retrospective review, we analyzed the survival outcomes of 618 patients with early breast cancer who underwent t...

AIM To analyze the surgical results of a slipped medial rectus muscle (MRM) after hang back recession surgery for esotropia. METHODS Twenty-one patients who underwent re-exploration for diagnosed slipped muscle after hang back recession surgery were included in this retrospective study. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging was performed to identify the location of the slipped muscle. Ocular mot...

PURPOSE Developing a computationally efficient automated method for the optimal choice of regularization parameter in diffuse optical tomography. METHODS The least-squares QR (LSQR)-type method that uses Lanczos bidiagonalization is known to be computationally efficient in performing the reconstruction procedure in diffuse optical tomography. The same is effectively deployed via an optimizati...

Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation. Thus, the manipulation and the exploitation the microbiota could result in important practical applications for the development of strategies for the management of insect-...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in quality of life in patients who received breast conserving surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (MRM) for breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 women with breast cancer who underwent either BCS or MRM between September 2011 and April 2012 at a private health center and completed their chemotherapy and ra...

 Reduced recovery, low sensitivity – The adsorptive properties and/or polarity of peptides can compromise recovery, and interferences from biological matrices can negatively impact sensitivity and selectivity.  Limited quantitation range – Poor MS/MS sensitivity combined with often poor selectivity can compromise the desired lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ).  Limited MRM selectivity – MRM...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now a leading diagnostic technique. As technology has improved, so has the spatial resolution achievable. In 1986 MR microscopy (MRM) was demonstrated with resolutions in the tens of micrometers, and is now an established subset of MRI with broad utility in biological and non-biological applications. To date, only large cells from plants or aquatic animals ha...

HRMAS NMR is considered a valuable technique to obtain detailed metabolic profile of unprocessed tissues. To properly interpret the HRMAS metabolomic results, detailed information of the actual state of the sample inside the rotor is needed. MRM (Magnetic Resonance Microscopy) was applied for obtaining structural and spatially localized metabolic information of the samples inside the HRMAS roto...

Breast carcinoma; Modiied Radical Mastectomy; Ductal carcinoma; Medullary features; Lobular; Mucinous. Background: Carcinoma of breast has become the major public health problem among females in developing as well as developed countries. In Nepal it comprises 6% of total cancers cases and often diagnosed at advanced stage. Surgical removal or modiied radical mastectomy (MRM) is the most commonl...
