Breast radiotherapy is a technical challenge in women with pectus excavatum. We aim to assess isocentric lateral decubitus (ILD) technique as a means to irradiate breasts for patients with pectus excavatum. Four women presenting with left-sided breast cancers and found to have pectus excavatum were offered breast-conserving treatments. Post-operative breast radiotherapy was indicated (50 Gy) in...

Long-term survival of patients with breast cancer remains poor, due to metastasis and recurrence. We investigated the effects of a novel nutrient mixture (NM) containing ascorbic acid, lysine, proline and green tea extract in vitro and in vivo on 4T1 murine breast cancer, a representative model for metastatic breast cancer. After one week of isolation, 5-6-week-old female Balb/C mice were inocu...

Since December 2009, after breast-conserving surgery for Stage 0-I cancer of the left breast, 21 women with relatively pendulous breasts underwent computed tomography prone and supine simulations. The adjuvant radiotherapy was 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the left breast alone. Four plans--conventional wedged tangents and forward intensity-modulated radiotherapy (fIMRT) in supine and prone position...

The current study was aimed to investigate the growth pattern of Ross 308 broilers reared in a humid tropical environment Data on body weight and other linear traits (shank length, wing breast width drumstick were obtained weekly from 60 day old birds for period 8weeks. collected subjected Analysis Variance (ANOVA), using general model procedure. Means separated significance, Least Significant ...

X-ray mammograms reveal abnormal tissue densities, while metabolic images identify regions of abnormal metabolism. Conventional nuclear medicine and radiologic breast images must be acquired at different times with different patient positions making coregistration difficult. Accurate coregistration of metabolic and x-ray images of the breast is likely to be important when acquiring information ...

BACKGROUND There is considerable variation in the planning and implementation process for breast augmentation. Although general guidelines are available, the distinctive characteristics of the Natrelle 410 breast implant warrant surgical guidelines specific to this device. This study aimed to develop consensus recommendations for patient selection and preoperative planning for Natrelle 410 in p...
