Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is an increasingly utilized surgical option in managing breast carcinoma; however, data on malignant involvement of a separately submitted nipple margin are scant. Consecutive NSM, including those performed for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, over a 4-year period (2007-2011), were studied. A separately submitted nipple margin was evaluated by permanent H&E...

BACKGROUND Ischemic complications after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) have been associated with numerous variables. However, the impact of NSM flap thickness has been incompletely evaluated. METHODS NSM flap thickness was determined for all NSMs from 2006 to 2016 with available pre- or postoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). Demographics and outcomes were stratified by those...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary nigella sativa meal (nsm) on the growth performance, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, egg yolk cholesterol and meat quality in japanese quail. for this purpose 300 one-day old japanese quail chicks in a completely randomized design was used with five treatments in four replicates )containing 15 birds each(. the experimenta...

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the incidence of nodal skip metastasis (NSM) to identify the risk factors that influence NSM and to assess the prognostic value of NSM in patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2013, 285 patients with ESCC with positive lymph nodes who underwent complete resection were enr...

The nonstructural NSm protein of tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) represents a putative viral movement protein involved in cell-to-cell movement of nonenveloped ribonucleocapsid structures. To study the molecular basis of NSm function, we expressed the protein in Escherichia coli and investigated protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions of NSm protein in vitro. NSm specifically interac...

This paper presents the results of 12 tests on small-scale reinforced concrete beams strengthened in flexure with a single NSM carbon FRP bar. The used bar is novel commercial high values glass transition Tg and decomposition Td temperature to improve performance strengthening system at elevated temperature. bonded using cementitious grout rather than an epoxy adhesive. Flexural were performed ...
