The importance of lakes and reservoirs leads to the high need for monitoring lake water quality both at local and global scales. The aim of the study was to test suitability of Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imager’s (MSI) data for mapping different lake water quality parameters. In situ data of chlorophyll a (Chl a), water color, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (...

OBJECTIVES This paper discusses the influence of a para-areolar incision in the upper outer quadrant of the breast on the location of the sentinel lymph node in a canine model. METHODS The sentinel lymph node was marked with technetium-99, which was injected into the subareolar skin of the cranial breast. After the marker had migrated to the axilla, an arcuate para-areolar incision was perfor...

OBJECTIVE To document experience with sentinel lymph-node biopsy in patients who have already undergone a wide local excision for melanoma because in many centres previous wide excision has been a contraindication for sentinel lymph-node biopsy. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING A tertiary care academic cancer centre. PATIENTS One hundred patients who presented with cutaneous mel...

IMPORTANCE A practice gap exists in the surgical removal of sentinel lymph nodes, from removal of only the most radioactive (hottest) lymph node to removal of all lymph nodes with radioactivity greater than 10% of the hottest lymph node. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical significance of melanoma in sentinel lymph nodes that are not the hottest sentinel node and to determine the risk for dis...

Sentinel node was detected by 99mTc labeled nanocolloid in five patients with breast cancer. Surgery of breast cancer was done at 16 hours after the administration of 74 MBq of 99mTc labeled nanocolloid. Sentinel node was searched by scintigraphy prior to surgery and by gamma-probe during surgery. Radioactivity of injected site, sentinel nodes, blood contaminated gauze, and other garbage was me...

OBJECTIVE A major controversial issue in the sentinel node biopsy of the breast is the applicability of sentinel node mapping in patients with the history of previous excisional biopsy of the breast lesions. In the current study, we evaluated the reproducibility of lymphoscintigraphy before and after excisional biopsy of the primary breast lesions using superficial peri-areolar injection of the...

We attempted the isolation of variant infectious bursal disease (IBD) viruses by using sentinel chickens immunized with inactivated classical-type IBD vaccine. Immunized sentinel chickens with high levels of neutralizing antibodies and non-immunized sentinel chickens were raised together with broiler chickens in a commercial farm. Severe atrophy of the bursa of Fabricius was observed from the s...

lymph node status remains an important prognostic indicator for survival in breast cancer. sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard method of assessment of clinically node negative breast cancers. economic implications as well as patient related factors have lead to the development a number of intra-operative techniques. review of the emerging trends in the last 4 years show that alth...

Iron is an indicator for soil fertility and the usability of an area for cultivating crops. Remote sensing is the only suitable tool for surveying large areas at a high temporal and spatial interval, yet a relative high spectral resolution is needed for mapping iron contents with reflectance data. Sentinel-2 has several bands that cover the 0.9 μm iron absorption feature, while space-borne sens...
